Day 10: Orchestration

Good morning,

So sometimes the hardest part about getting the work done isn't the work itself but getting it all organized and ready for the part of the day that I would like to work on it.  Today and tomorrow are tough ones, for example.  I have a family-event today and a family-friendly-event tomorrow.  The distinction matters not but they are events I am eager to attend.  I sent in my draft yesterday so am not entirely sure what to work on today and once I do determine what it'll be I have to locate and print the materials, etc. etc.  This SHOULD be something I've avoided by keeping a detailed notebook journal of my research for each day.  Which I have been doing, sort of, but the work weeks are so fast that anything I accomplish seems to blend in together.

And so once I do figure out what work it is, I am going to fit it in with teaching at the gym, driving down to Dissertation House, doing the work itself, going to events here and there, and returning home (probably to either crash or work more... depends on my level of excitement with what I've done)

To do list:

10. Apply as a USDOE Federal Reviewer (not a full time job, or anything.  A side-gig)
9. PINTEREST, Baby!  That's right, I've never looked KNOWING it is a time-sucker!
8. Clean out the garage
7. Complete the scrapbooking projects I have for the girls
6. Fix up the area I envision as a mudroom (which will cut down on dirt in the house)
5. GO TO THE GYM as often as I want (without feeling guilty)
4. Read a newspaper with coffee in the morning (without feeling guilty)
3. Write a will
2. Read a novel (without feeling guilty)
1. Learn Spanish
