Try out apps for task management or even paper/pencil like Cal Newport suggests [1].

Cal Newport writes quite a bit about doing deep work.

There are places like say Balboa Island and Newport Beach that have had hundreds of vacation rentals since I was a kid in the 1970s.

This post from Cal Newport elaborates further[1].

Look up Cal Newport fixed-schedule productivity.

I lived in Newport Beach, CA for a year, and quickly realized that the street sweepers were an excuse to write tickets, not the other way around.

I'm sure there are places where the streets are actually cleaner after the street sweepers are done, but in Newport beach, they only redistribute sand and money.

>cash managers are also based in the city known for its casinos, where hotel rooms costing as little as $69 a night provide cheaper lodgings than banker stops in New York, Boston and Newport Beach, California, LOL.

According to the Cal Newport / Viktor Frankl philosophy of life, there's no a priori 'what you want', and what you want right now probably isn't 'what you want.' Finding mastery and meaning in life – which, for them, is the goal – is best achieved through throwing yourself into things, deliberate practice, ruthless introspection, and taking advantage of chance opportunities.

Incidentally, I am reading Cal Newport's "So Good..." and the thoughts in this article resonate with some of those expressed in Cal's book.

Thanks to HN I discovered the homepage of Derek Sivers [1] and the book "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport [2].

BTW 'career capital' is a phrase I lifted from Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore You", which was an interesting read regarding passion and career development.

Assuming you are in Cardiff, possibly Newport, a starting salary for a graduate is around £21,000 - £25,000.

What's the differential between the salary for Cardiff/Newport and London?
