I like to be organised, love a to-do list and start with a schedule for the day. However it does mean I will have an ever-growing list during the day and things never entirely turns out how I expect them to. Having said that, this is one of the best parts of the job: that no day is the same. I am constantly coming up against new challenges and never have the opportunity to be bored… and some days I get have dinner at a responsible time.
