He says:\n\n\"Dear Frankie and Steve,\n\nMy name is Barney. I am a middle-aged copywriter. So far, so good. Apart from the writing copy bit.\n\nNot all of it, of course. The unpaid jobs, favours for friends and surprisingly successful (and lengthy) replies to people I've only met on social media I can manage.\n\nIncreasingly, however, I find it more difficult to concentrate on the paid work.\n\nWhat tips do you have to avoid procrastination?\n\n(I mean, honestly, even this note is longer than it needs to be.
