If you can, try to stay with an accommodating friend or relative until this work is finished. You might even want to stay at an hotel. Follow an impulse to venture into unfamiliar territory. You tend to cling to comfortable routines. Carrying out the same rituals dulls your creative edge. Push yourself to take a different route to work, learn something new or talk to someone you'd ordinarily avoid.

Beware of posting aggressive remarks on social media. A troll should be ignored, not challenged. Always remember that anything you write online can come back to haunt you.
