The first day of a new month (rabbit rabbit!) and it’s the one that feels most like “autumn” to me—nevermind that it’s supposed to get up to almost 90° F today! The only downside: dreaded invoicing day. I really hate invoicing. A lot.
One reason for my passionate loathing is just the simple fact that it involves doing tedious tasks that I’m not particularly good at. If that was it, though, I’d outsource it and be done with it. The worse part is that I have to go through all of my PayPal transactions and categorize them, make sure everything matches, and realize that I’m putting in tons of hours and making very little money as a result. That’s just depressing.
So today I’ll get through evil invoicing first in hopes of having a better rest of the day. I haven’t even showered yet—don’t worry, it will immediately follow invoicing. 
I also need to fit in some baking for our church gathering tonight—I’ve committed to bring some bread and I’m thinking about a certain bread machine roll recipe + a pan of cornbread. Neither will take very much active time but I need to remember to start early enough.
Most Important Tasks
- Invoicing
- Do two specific tasks on a client site (being vague here for privacy reasons)
- Create three new videos for my training course and write text versions for all four videos
The reward
I’ll allow myself to read as many of my blog feeds as I want (when my work is done). I have about 150 unread posts, and spent some time last night reducing the incoming flow, so I’m looking forward to catching up.

Bah. Got my MITs done (so really, I shouldn’t be complaining!) but the email is going to beat me, I think. Just not enough time before I need to leave for the church group!
I take it all back! I just stormed through the email and to-do list and I’m DONE DONE DONE.
Happy October and rabbit, rabbit day to you! Only two more rabbit, rabbits until your truly MIT will be having a baby boy! Yippee! Congratulations on getting things accomplished.
