Overloaded
Currently I have a lot of projects on the go. I have deadlines due and I will make them. I also have to plan the next 6 weeks work carefully so as to make sure I fit my family in also.
To do list:
Report writing job - agree specs for database fields and design and build. 1 1/2 days work all up.
Training - 3 days of Excel training that I am running for a client.
Specifications for annual budget maintnenace for a client - meeting, review and estimate writing, followed by working. It is expected to be around 3 weeks work.
Annual accounts liaison with accountant for a client whose monthly reports I preparare. 3-4 days.
Monthly accounting for the same client. 3 days for August and 3 for September.
Finalise Business Plan work for the coal mine, followed by conversion of their budget into a new system. 3 weeks? This can slide into November fortunately.
I was supposed to go to a 3 day convention in that time also - fat chance now.
Then there is 6-8 hours or so of web changes for the church, potentially a weeks worth of donated time consulting to the church on financial organisation and management issues, a LAN party, my birthday, my daughters, mothers, sisters and fathers birthdays (not in that order) and some time I need to sleep.
So last nights game playing binge was a form of procrastination.
Tonight I wrote the list.
Tomorrow I get started; tomorrow never comes - Yippee! Rats its already 12:45 am! Tomorrow is here...
PS regular blogs I read. I will read your blogs in RSS or atom format in trains and planes (but not while I'm riding the mortorbike) so forgive me for not commenting on your sites. I will get back to some normality in 2 weeks when the first wave of pressure is off!
