Issue #23

I don’t know if it’s just me, but this year is flying by – and May was no exception.

It was another busy month for me.

Predominantly working with a single agency on their projects (much less of a headache than working with 2).

And I’ve also been doing some smaller bits of work for a couple of clients of mine from last year.

I also had a referral for a project come my way – which looks totally up my street, but the sticking point is the deadline.

They’re looking for a go-live at the end of July, and I only have a couple of weeks available between then and now.

So we’ll see if there’s any flex there.

Outside of client work, I feel like my to-do list is the biggest it’s ever been.

Having just moved house, marketing myself, health and other side projects I want to pursue…

It’s hard to find time for it all.

Because I have so many things I want to do, but limited free time.

I knew I had to do two things:

• Focus on the most important tasks
• Schedule it into my calendar

The truth is, I know I don’t have time to do everything I want. Which means having to prioritise.

And to make sure I do those things, it’s meant having to schedule it in.

And it’s honestly made a huge difference.

I’ve created a schedule around walking and cycling. And also time for “side projects” (which include anything marketing-related).

I then have time over weekends for family activities and house updates.
