week 3: the continuing goal

Last week I had two goals, one of which I accomplished:

1. to make a rough edit of susurrations
2. to figure out how to deal with my email so it doesn’t take over my day

1. to make a rough edit of susurrations
This did not go well, or perhaps it was just that I did not have sufficient time to have it go as planned. I did manage to have the files reformatted so I can edit at home, so I think this goal will be repeated this week.

2. to figure out how to deal with my email so it doesn’t take over my day
This I managed to do by making a separate to-do item for it and to split it up throughout the day. It took me one day of doing about 2 hours of email to get it to a point where it was doable as a daily task, but it all seems under control now.

What caused the week to be so absolutely insane was that I started teaching yoga again, J was home sick, and JackPine had a launch and editorial collective meetings. This week is busy again, but J is back at school and I believe I have managed to make appointments only in the mornings so can edit every afternoon.

Goal this week (19-25 January 2009):

1. to make a rough edit of susurrations

That’s it. This is what I most want to do and what needs to get done. I have some other tasks on my plate. Mostly organizational stuff for upcoming events etc. but the editing takes precedence.

Long Term Goals
– to complete & market susurrations
– to start a New Music ensemble in Saskatoon
– to make a collection of splanchnologies

Ongoing Projects
– susurrations
– splanchnologies
– life organization

To work!
