OK so Mondays are the day to get my week organized. Write up my TO DO list so I don't forget anything. But here it is already Tuesday morning, and I haven't even had time to make the list! What do you do when you think your day is going to go one way, and then all of a sudden, the phone rings and everything changes? At least I've learned to roll with whatever comes my way, but still . . .
So today I am trying to finish up the things that needed to be done YESTERDAY as well as try to tackle a few of those things that are calling to me TODAY. And the first thing I am going to do, is MAKE MY LIST ;o) I've decided that if I start the list here (kind of like I did two weeks ago), BUT I keep it posted and update it weekly, or daily, or whenever I actually accomplish something. I really hope that I can accomplish SOMETHING today!
I have been having so much fun this month, with my big kids coming to visit the first two weekends of the month. And tonight we are driving to the airport to pick up a cousin who is traveling from British Columbia to stay for a week. Well . .. ..consequently, it will be AT LEAST next week before I can return to anything resembling a schedule. But I'm having fun! So I will try to be realistic with my expectations, but I still need to maintain some level of focus. You know how it is to run a small business; if you blink your eyes twice or get the flu, or have house guests for a week, suddenly everyone forgets you are out here. No worries, because whenever we jump back into the business of running a business, it doesn't take long to re-connect with all of our friends. I'll soon be off to tackle a couple of these projects, but here goes:
JANUARY
1.Update my online shops -
* Posted eight new listings in my Etsy shop yesterday
2. Write two new eBooks
* Finished the "Mommy and Me" apron eBook
* Edited photos for the Crazy Patch Journal Cover eBook
3. Submit eBooks to new sites
* Set up new account at Cotton Spice ePattern Shop
4. Set-up business plan / marketing / inventory / invoices, etc
* Bought a new binder with dividers ;o)
5. Design two new children's garments for 'tween collection
* Made two sketches
6. Research availability of information available for creating patterns for children
* Checked Amazon and only found one book on creating patterns for children, and it was written in 1951.
There . . . . . now I am going to try to get something finished up (like the laundry and pay the bills!) before I have to go to the airport. My goal is to continue to update this list and see how much progress I can make this month. The problem might be that I will actually ADD new goals before I can finish the original ones. But that's life, I guess. If I ran out of things to do, I might just sit around and watch TV all day. Probably not! Have a great Tuesday, and remember to share your weekly plans and goals and share a link with me. I'll try to visit you and see what you're up to - uh-oh, there's one more thing to add to my list. See?
PS these photos are of a few of the new listings in my Etsy shop . . . . vintage treasures for frugal mamas!
