Comms Cartoons ✍🏻

Getting sign-off 🤯💆🏼‍♀️ Does this feel familiar? I dusted this one off from my cartoon vaults because I reckon it goes on EVERY FLIPPING DAY. You are not alone.

I’m finally ready to tell the world about my private life. This has taken a lot of courage and a lot of thought. But here we go. shorturl.at/nENOY

We've been meaning to get the @CommsCreatives merch shop up on our website for ages. The never-ending comms to-do list strikes again! Here's a link for now, in case you want to buy a pick-me up present for yourself to celebrate your #comms incredibleness zazzle.co.uk/collections/gr…

Have a good day ☕️

In some jobs you get the tasks, do the tasks, then move on to the next to-do list. But in #comms, we have a never ending carousel of things we can, should and want to do. Loads of stuff in front of us, always moving! Things are constantly added to the belt. We do our best to pick off the most important tasks and deal with a few things at a time. And some tasks have to just stay on the belt and go round and round. It can be fun, but frantic sometimes. Have a little sit down and let the bags go round once in a while :-)

One of my all time favourite quotes. I scribbled it on paper for a slide in this month's @commscreatives #comms creativity course. Legendary tennis player, Arthur Ashe, said it in relation to how he achieved greatness in sport. It's a great way to approach work, learning and life.

We all get bogged down in the stuff that should take a few minutes, but actually takes all flipping day. May as well chuckle about those #comms working days where everything is pure chaos!

Writers and social media managers tell me they experience this kind approval process. Does it feel familiar to you?

Apparently, the first 2 weeks in March is National Procrastination Week. Sometimes it gets pushed back on the calendar. commscreatives.com/2021/04/08/pro… #NationalProcrastinationWeek #comms

Little shout out to my #comms people feeling overwhelmed or just plain knackered. Remember that no job is as important as you and your health.

@InterimBoy @HelReynolds @commscreatives Errr, I think you mean knackered and FABULOUS!

Of course we can't all go around knowing the ins and outs of each other's jobs. But have you ever got the feeling someone thinks we just sit there, fiddling with the internet all day? #comms
