Yesterday didn’t go so well. Part of it was that two of my three Most Important Tasks actually turned out to require a lot more “prerequisites” than I expected—I needed to download and install very large software for one (which took a long time), and the designer didn’t have the files ready for the other, so there was no way to pass them on to the client. Oops.
I’m definitely feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. Every day I get more requests from existing clients—not necessarily big requests, just more “items” that need to get fit in somewhere.
I’m probably going to have to pick a hard “cut-off” date when I just say, “Can’t take any more!” Maybe November 15, since that’s a month before my due date, and people will naturally expect me to ramp down for the holidays… but I’d better start spreading the word, I guess.
Most Important Tasks
- Create an instructional video for a client
- Tackle It Tuesday (see details below)
- Ummmmm… I know there was one more. I’ll update when I remember it.
The reward
Permission to make some more Twitter backgrounds for TweetStyle (with whatever time remains).
Tackle It Tuesday
One of the most continuously-messy areas of my house is my dresser and the rest of the area on my side of the bed (much to the frustration of my mister). Beyond his complaints and the fact that I hate looking at it, it’s also going to be the spot where we’ll put a (much smaller) end table + the baby’s bassinet.
Before we buy an end table, though, I need to prove I can keep it clean. So the goal for today is to clean it, and the goal for the next month is to keep it that way. Then I will feel like a furniture purchase is a fair request!
Here’s the before picture…
…and after!
