You know what I'm talking about.

3 minutes to 9 o'clock. Social media closed. eFestivals off. It's you, your monitor, and F5 until glory or bust.

What's going on in that moment, for you? How do you achieve focus? Is there music you put on while you refresh? Do you shut the door to attention-seeking pets? Notify your family to leave you alone for a bit? Think positively to achieve zen?

Or is it just balls-out panic until victory or disaster?

Silence, zero distractions, giving WhatsApp the evil eye when someone asks a stupid question,. Then normally Mrs Morph throws the laptop at me screaming I’m in I’m in and I have to get through the following pages whilst shaking and panicking it’s going to crash out.

My son gets sent to his grandmas the night before.   Alarm set for 815.  Get up make a cuppa - get set up me in office on desk top with mobile phone and iPad.  Husband downstairs with laptop and mobile.   Panic, feel sick, nervous poo.  Group chats activated, make sure everyone’s present and correct from our group on their location.   

Watch the clock, 9 hits - swear and scream! Keep everything crossed and hope.

Definitely a bit of balls-out panic - but I do need to be without any distractions, and if anyone accidentally asks me a question in *that time*, well, unfortunately they'll see a snappy side of me that I'd prefer to think does not exist....

Organised, nervous but then full on, bit like the boxing thing the paras do, don’t stop until the other bloke is on the deck or the staff says stop

You've just reminded me to banish the cats (who love walking over keyboards) to another room. Thank you :)
