• Greater accuracy in estimating the time it takes for tasks and more accuracy in spacing them
• Increased delegation and asking for support in campaign collectives
• Increased use of my smart phone rather than email is enabling greater participation in collectives and a more horizontal working pattern
• Designing in more rest and breaks into my day and overall life has been essential while recovering from my illness and anchoring new self-care habits
• Attempting to do some tasks just a little bit faster is actually creating more momentum at work (such as checking emails)
• I use these next action forms as part of a system I have been refining for years. My recent ‘tweak’ has been to number my next actions - this reduces that hesitation time of what to do next. It also means I think smarter on what tasks can be done at once (like batch processing)
• I am undertaking project check-ins every 8 weeks, whereby I simply check-in with each of my projects - check any next actions that have slipped through the net, think about what needs to be done etc.
• I am definitely reducing the amount of time ‘doing’ when traveling. I am going on more trips, such as long train journeys for prison visits, with just my notebook and some music (rather than my laptop etc) - this has created a lot of thinking time and enabled greater reflection and deeper thinking rather than just going from one task to the next.
• It’s clear for me that long holidays don’t integrate well into my life due to my caring responsibilities - so I have been designing in more ‘mini-trips’ into my life e.g. Weekend breaks away. This means that I don’t have this pre-stress and I’m not playing overwhelming catch up when returning.
• Booking appointments at the beginning or end of the day - so that I am not loosing time during the day, where I can really focus on my projects
• Reducing meetings and reducing attendance at physical events. I think for a long time I had a fear of missing out. Right now, I am a lot more selective with my energy, especially if events demand a physical challenge like traveling far.
• Developing what I call ‘chronic illness communication’ this means flagging up to people in advance what my challenges are, and what my needs are and that sometimes if I have an unpredictable flare up, I will need to rest. It also means not overpromising and communicating regularly about my needs when working in groups.

I created these 'Next Action Forms' as way to effectively manage my projects and the copious amounts of next actions that one needs to do. These include: 

• Month Design - a form enabling me to map out the key priorities for each of my projects each month
• Week Design - a form enabling me to map out the key priorities, as well as my appointments and schedule at the start of each week
• Next Actions Form - a form enabling me to map out what I need to do at the beginning of the day. It is organised into boxes to enable 'batch processing': a faster method of getting things done by grouping similar tasks together

For various periods of time when working on output packets, I used these daily tracker sheets. These are sheets I designed to help me capture my learning in certain areas (the open boxes). They also enabled me to track certain things, such as hours of sleep or what tasks I did for my self-care. These have been incredibly useful overtime for enabling me to make interventions to improve my life and proejcts. They have also been a big tool in enabling me to work 'small and slow' on output packet creation, and created effective containers for my reflections.

• We organised a public meeting ‘How could fracking affect farming?’ and brought together over 50 food producers locally.
• I was part of organising the second South West Extreme Energy Gathering, supporting anti-fracking, open cast coal, nuclear and big biomass campaigns in the South West.
• I helped support the Avon Coalition Against Big Biofuels get started, including website design and support, meeting facilitation, grant applications and event advertising for the first two public meetings.

• We put the call out for a new publication about supporting someone in prison.
• We’ve continued to network with people around the UK to build a movement and work towards our National Conference on Prison Abolition in November 2014.
• On a personal level I also continued to self-education about the prison system, did extensive research on prison privatisation in the UK and read a number of texts integrating a queer analysis including Captive Genders, Lockdown and why prison abolition is a queer issue.
• I’m participating in a radical accountability process, which involves supporting a support group and self education about available tools and processes.

Repression

Professional Pathway Progression

Since April 2014, I have developed significantly on a professional level. At the beginning of the year I was employed by Somerset Community Food, and I initiated the Growing Resilience Project. I then covered my co-worker on study leave, to organise growing & cooking courses locally.

In September 2014 I resigned from the charity, to fully focus on Feed Avalon. I am flourishing in the horizontal work space, where I can fully participate in decision making and work with skilled, like-minded, caring & compassionate people. I have developed skills in accounting/financial management/tax systems and more. I have the responsibility of a Director and love being able to work with others to restore our land base and community.

In November 2014 I launched 'Empty Cages Design' to re-brand my work and create an online container for all projects and passions. This new-look has increased my desire to blog regularly. I have created several new categories to help me capture my work and learning. I aim to create an online resource and slowly add previous output work, resources and writings.

In November, I also graduated with my Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design. This has been an ongoing journey stacked with my Gaia University studies. I completed most of my work a year or more ago, however the accreditation process has proved challenging. However I was very proud to finish it and now can fully embrace the tutoring pathway for other apprentices on their Diploma journeys.

Land & Food

Popular Education

• Growing Resilience Project - I supported 14 learners to achieve a qualification in Community Horticulture. The course was designed around the 6 principles of food sovereignty. Learners met during 'guided learning sessions' to explore course themes and develop skills. They designed and ran workshops for members of the public for the 6 public day long events, which explored food growing skills, politics and projects. To see photos from the course visit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124792022@N05/sets/

• Vegan Permaculture Design Course - I convened and co-taught with Graham Burnett the world's first Vegan Permaculture Design Course. We supported 14 learners to discover the PC design process, tools and principles. It was an amazing experience that stretched my edges as an educator. I designed and ran sessions on soils, surveying, plant based systems, ethics, ecological principles, mulching, compost tea making, zone 00 and community organising.

During this output period, there have been several notable gains in my self care practices following my extensive self care design during output 3. However there are still recurring patterns of overworking, PMT and transient living. I intend to do a full review of my self care gains in my Learning Review.

Below are some graphs I created that compare the data I had tracked using my daily tracker form.

This graph shows that I have increased the amount of sleep I am getting (one of my goals). I have decreased the time spent on emails through designing a better system. I have also reduced the hours spent traveling (another key goal).

This graph shows how I have greatly increased the amount of nights slept at home, an important goal that anchors my other self care practices.

This graph tracks the emotions I felt during these output periods. When processing my forms, OP3 was 66 days, and OP4 67 days, therefore they are quite clear to compare. Interesting patterns to note are increases in feeling exhausted and depressed. It does show me that whatever patterns I have in place e.g. stretching, exercise, herbs, if there are key stressful factors (such as interacting with the prison system or grieving from a death) they will inform the pattern more strongly.

As part of my tracking commitments using my 'daily tracker forms'. I have recorded several areas of my life that I have wanted to improve on.

These goals were to:

• Increase the amount of sleep I have
• Reduce the amount of time I spend sleeping away from home
• Reduce the amount of time spent traveling
• Reduce the amount of time spent on emails
• Reduce the amount of time on the computer (only tracked since OP5/LIPD and Capstone OP2)
• Feel happier, or at least understand the reasons for unhappiness/depression/stress or anger
• Track my energy and capacity to feel exhausted

Below are various graphs illustrating the results.

• My average sleep has increased since 2013/14 however I am still not achieving my goal of 8 hours per night. Likewise my sleep is averaged between nights where I catch up and those that are significantly short and causing me harm.

• My time spent sleeping at home has increased significantly since identifying this as an important intervention in my life. It may also be because of being single last year.

• I have managed to reduce the number of hours spent traveling but this is still a large use of my energy.

• I have been very successful in reducing time spent on email due to various improvements in managing my time and promises and implementing inbox interventions.

• Unfortunately the number of hours on my computer increased between OP5/LIPD (4.62 hours) and my Capstone OP2 (5.35 hours) which I suspect is due to my organising interests.

• In my capstone output two I also tracked the time I had spent on conscious learning (reading, output work, courses and so forth) which averaged 1.5 hours a day, which I thought was great in the context of my life and the number of responsibilities I have.

In terms of feelings there are some illuminating trends:

• My happiness has reduced since last year, which I associate with my best friend dying. However there have been more occasions where I have felt joy.
• My anxiety has increased since last year, which I believe is related to my winter burnout 2015/16.
• I also became more irritable and angry.
• Likewise the number of times I recorded being exhausted increased.
• According to my data, I have felt less depressed. I think this is because depressive feelings were highly associated to my bereavements, and now my feelings are shifting into more anxiety related states due to unprocessed grief.
•  There is a dramatic reduction in energy and an increase in tiredness.

In my other output periods, I have proactively tracked certain things, such as the number of hours sleep I have, or the amount of time spent on the computer. I did not utilise this form tracking system during this output, mainly because I was recovering from a chronic illness and had limited time and attention to complete a daily form. I do have some regret in this decision, because it would have created some useful and interesting data that tracked my recovery.

However, I did track my recovery in other ways, most notably in my blog series on overcoming burnout.

Below you can find links to the various entries that share reflections. The learning from this writing and life experience has resulted in many self-gare gains, such as an increased awareness of my own body, starting a yoga practice, increased attention to my nutrition and various deficiencies, greater amounts of sleep and rest, as well as greater attention to socialising and nourishing quality friendships.

My brilliant advisor Jennifer Morgan gave me feedback to better assess my own impact in my fields. The suggestion was to map the different outcomes of my work and add some qualitative commentary and quantitative data. Then to share some analysis of these patterns. Below is my first attempt at this task. Please note there is a big personal barrier for me in a) identifying or celebrating my achievements (more likely minimising my role in making things happen) b) not articulating publicly my involvement in projects due to fear of state repression.

KEY OUTCOMES

Personal

• Wrote a series of articles about overcoming burnout, having identified I was burning out in February 2016: http://www.emptycagesdesign.org/category/radical-community-organising/self-carecommunity-care/ I have received overwhelming feedback and support for my radical honesty and writing.

Commentary: 2015 was a tough year. My best friend died in January and the rest of the year was spent blocking out the grief and trying to cope with everything the best I could. I feel I did remarkably well given the circumstances to keep delivering professionally and politically through my organising. In 2016 I made huge gains in addressing underlying emotional issues and wounds that have accumulated in my life. This was in response to burning out and developing a chronic illness called 'costochondritis', where the cartilage in my rib cage has been inflamed for months.

Quantitative data: see section below titled 'Self Care Gains'
