We move into unknown & unprecedented times, many in our industry will find business and the ability to get out an earn money reduced or removed.
Along with a potential for social isolations and 'lock-downs', we are likely to be restricted to 'working' from home which is impractical.
In that case what can we do ? First thoughts are to try and stay positive both physically and importantly mentally.
Let's use this thread & LJN for ideas to keep busy and minds occupied, such as;
- ideas & processes
- business support services & resources
- best industry books & videos
- recommended online training resources
- sharing experiences
ready for when we come out on the other side...
It's times like this where LJN becomes a key social, as well as an industry, meeting place.
Keep safe, keep occupied but don't feel alone out there ....

We were talking yesterday (at a safe distance) with a client who is a GP. She felt a total lockdown was both unlikely and unnecessary which of course would be very helpful. However I suspect that will very much depend on whether people respect requirements for social distancing so I'm not so sure myself.
Good idea to have a thread like this though if the worst happened but hoping we don't need it!
If we do go into full lockdown mode (hopefully not & if yes hopefully not for too long...) I will spend some time getting to know my business software systems better. I use Xero and Jobber and there are a lot of features on both that I don't use because I have never taken the time to figure out how to use them!
Both of those products have good YouTube channels ;)
Hours of riveting viewing ahead.. :)
p.s. Everyone :
Please do take this opportunity to update your LJN Profile - it can be so valuable....
Good suggestion Gary, updated text details but it won't let me upload a new profile pic (Discovered after already deleting the old one Doh!) Anyone else have trouble?
Will be either file type or size (unfortunately, it's quite prescriptive):
Ideal size proportions for a profile photo are 72×72 pixels, but just about any image will work as long as it is a GIF, JPG or PNG image that is under 10 MB in size.
as Gary says stay positive i have lost a frend and fellow landscape gardner this year through mental illness talk to your frends or ring the samaritans PLEASE
