Wednesday Night

Yikes, it's been over a month since my last post. I've decided to take a turn and not ramble on my day to day nonsense. I'm going to try and "add value" by telling people what I'm doing that's working and what's not working.

I should start by saying that my goal upon quitting my full time job in September was to enjoy the rest of 2008 and get going in 2009. So I've stuck to the plan. When we got back from vacation on January 3rd I hit the ground running. It's been a whirlwind all month long.

I started the month by getting my class work ready and preparing for a media 101 workshop for a client. I had planned that these two projects would probably take up most of my time in January. Little did I know that other projects would be headed my way as well. I've been working with some other entrepreneurs on a potential OOH business platform. This is something that I have a passion for and find quite interesting. So it's fun.

School started on Monday and to my amazement I have 25 students. This will truly be a learning experience for me as I learn how to manage 25 people through this process, quite different from the 9 people I had last summer. The first class flew by - I'm guessing the entire course will as well. Lots to cover - but I'm happy to be back at it.

We had our annual after Christmas party as well - which was fun and it was great to see everyone.

So what's working? Me focusing on the work and just doing it. I find that I spend just as much time preparing for things now as I did at work. Sometimes there's later nights and earlier mornings which ultimately ends up working ok. I am finding myself more tired this month - work and life has been jammed packed pretty much everyday. Still trying to figure out the balance and haven't quite figured out the elusive 4 hour work week yet. Here's hoping we figure it out someday.

Enjoy your day!
