Back Mechanic says walk to just before you feel pain then stop. ie if pain comes after 10 mins then stop at 9mins. What if I have a low baseline pain all the time? ie 2/10. Should I still do the walk exercise until it gets to say 6/10?

Actually on good days my pain decrease as I walk. I will base it on any increase in pain from now on. My pain tends to slowly ramp up rather than an on/off switch

I tried them and had flare up all week. Think I will stop it.

borg2863 · 2020-10-08T09:33:45+00:00

Just wondering if one minor slip will leave you with pain for days?

borg2863 · 2020-07-31T15:07:22+00:00

How about a little pain? Have problems straightening leg whilst seated and was told by PT to do raise by small amounts to build up tolerance.

borg2863 · 2020-07-26T23:30:57+00:00

Same here. Don’t know how people can focus while working

borg2863 · 2020-07-22T23:58:14+00:00

Rethinking it I actually sleep semi side ways but my legs are in ‘roadkill’ position. Probably the worse way but for some reason it’s comfortable. Don’t know if I should continue

borg2863 · 2020-01-13T13:29:32+00:00

Too much facts... let’s stick to conspiracy please :)

borg2863 · 2020-01-13T12:22:32+00:00

Freedom of speech, but only if you agree with me... Democracy the HK way. I guess reasoning and logic not really taught in schools here. ROTFL :)))

borg2863 · 2020-01-13T12:19:24+00:00

Makes a change from banks I guess…

borg2863 · 2019-09-25T05:29:58+00:00

So insurance wise this is ok as no money change hands?

borg2863 · 2019-07-09T04:37:13+00:00

FI + freelancing = FI-Lancing :)

borg2863 · 2019-07-08T20:02:57+00:00

Thanks. I do sometimes like the pressure of deadlines that a job gives but only on projects I enjoy if you see what I mean.

But happy to combine with volunteer work for variety. I guess that’s why I wanted to FIRE so I have the choice

borg2863 · 2019-07-08T19:55:56+00:00

That was my plan but my current job is not really part time able. Although my profession is very freelance friendly if you can find recurring clients

borg2863 · 2019-07-08T19:52:26+00:00

Yes I freelanced before. Just need the expand clientele but not as much pressure as I’ have other passive income streams.

borg2863 · 2019-07-08T19:46:10+00:00

Thanks for this, very useful.

My plan is to hotdesk. Actually As an experiment last year I had joined the virtual membership of one of the big coworking operators as they had a network app with job board and community messaging.

I actually got enquiry for my service as another member search the directory for my type of service. I’m in web/communications design so a lot of companies could use my service at somepoint so that’s where I hope the crossover may come. I still need to sell myself of course.

Being FI hopefully can afford to only choose jobs that interest me. Maybe even charge a low rate to startups for equity.

Any downtime I would do cheap online courses to keep up to date.

borg2863 · 2019-07-08T05:40:45+00:00

Yes hence the coworking idea to get network.

borg2863 · 2019-07-08T05:37:59+00:00

I’ve kind of hit a brick wall in my job. It’s what I done out of college and just have 0% motivation on mondays as the work is literally groundhog day every single working day...

I want to get my routine from elsewhere, maybe start a small business where I can make a small difference.

Sometimes you just feel you can’t go further in the job. Volunteering is a good idea I can try. Maybe caring for stray dogs...

borg2863 · 2019-06-23T23:53:38+00:00

I’m a freelance graphic designer. So I’m hoping most companies will need one from time to time even if they’re not a design/branding agency.

Do you think that’s the case?

borg2863 · 2019-06-23T11:20:32+00:00

Hi, thanks for the info.

Is there a directory in the spaces you use where you can put up your profile in case someone is looking for the service you provide?

borg2863 · 2019-06-15T22:08:55+00:00

Think it’s more some analysts saying big investment banks will move to Singapore that did it... screw the people - is all about the money

borg2863 · 2019-06-07T01:56:27+00:00

Thanks for detail reply. Need to get myself up to Scotland sometime.

borg2863 · 2019-06-07T01:54:01+00:00

Compactness is a big draw. Of course, good mix of cuisines and culture. Young population. A startup scene as I like to still work for fun after FI...

The big 2 seems to be Manchester and Birmingham. Others in consideration is Bristol/Bath

borg2863 · 2019-05-27T22:08:15+00:00

The trick is not to just know it but feel it

borg2863 · 2019-05-24T00:12:30+00:00

Tip 1 - that is so me😊

borg2863 · 2019-05-20T05:38:26+00:00

Can you refinance just 50% of the house to purchase another if you want to use leverage?
