The unpaid jobs, favours for friends and surprisingly successful (and lengthy) replies to people I've only met on social media I can manage.Increasingly, however, I find it more difficult to concentrate on the paid work.What tips do you have to avoid procrastination?(I mean, honestly, even this note is longer than it needs to be. I'm a lost cause. *SOBS*)Thanks in advance for your help,Barney(aged 47 and a 1/2)"What would your advice be?

Staying visible over the summer holidays: This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Ben O'Brien. Ben is an illustrator, he says: “HOLIDAYS! Have you got any tips on how to get work done through the school holidays. I work from home and my wife (although self-employed) works elsewhere so it comes down to me more often to be with our son. 2 years ago I just couldn't get through the summer holiday, I managed to work on commissions I had, but I had no time for self-promotion, maintaining client relationships, updating my portfolio etc so by the end of the holidays commissions were drying up. It felt like I ran my business into the ground a bit and it's been uphill ever since. Every school holiday or half-term means another dip in my business. There's always a few playdates and summer camp days, plus my wife tries to take days off when possible, but it's never quite enough. So, with the next Summer holiday coming up, do you have any tips at a by Doing It For The Kids
