Nothing to say

Ok, I haven’t got much time, but here’s the deal in a nutshell:
I had a buch of things I wanted to get done between last Thursday and Tomorrow (Wednesday). One full week. I’ve gotten several things done, but not nearly the amount that I could’ve if I’d been more diligent.

Today, however, is going quite differently. A lot of that list was just goals; things I wanted to do. There are a few of those items that I realy need to get done. So last night, after spending most of the day learning how to make color swatches (one of the needed things, relating to putting together the company website, so I can create promotional materials, so I can get local clients, so I can make money, so I can survive, etc), I admitted to myself that I need to really buckle down and take care of a few small things.

So I made a list. And I applied a rough timeframe to it. And so far, it’s working surprisingly well! Now I think the next step is applying some sort of personal accountability to it, and since I’m both an extrovert and a bit lazy when it comes to taking care of personal things, I decided to post my lists here with commentary on how well I did.

Boring, right?
I know. That’s why the rest of this post is below the fold. :)

2330 Go to bed

Ok, it’s midnight, an I’m still awake. I had a really successful morning, but after that, everything fell apart. I can trace this to two things:
First, I fell asleep. I was exhausted after the 3 hours at the computer, and literally couldn’t keep my eyes open.
Second, instead of finding a productive solution to that, I fell asleep for a couple hours.

My friends, I do not cat nap. When I sleep, it’s for real. That makes napping a Really Bad Idea, for the most part.

Another thing I blew it on: I forgot to put together my list for tomorrow. Given enough sleep, I think I can really get it right this time!
