times tables

a creative, business savy friend of mine was telling me how important it is to make yourself a timetable and stick to it. i was telling her about my woes of being a little overwhelmed and getting stuck in problem solving ruts of recent times. (i am learning so much about self publishing!) her advice was sound, as i found myself categorising and dividing time like some kind of physicist.

pictures eat people timetable- imagine the business is a nest

get the sticks in order for 1 hr

tell stories about the baby birds and listen to other stories for 1 hr

make sure the branch is strong and find good sticks for the nest for 1 hr

what!?

create baby birds- making, drawing, creating

make sure the branch is strong and find good sticks for the nest- set up my business, buying materials, research

get the sticks in order- paperwork and book keeping

teach the birds to fly- selling my products, etsy, markets, shops etc

tell stories about the baby birds and listen to others- write blog, email outs, myspace, respond to emails
