Alright, now since my office and creative space is one room in the same this will be fun. Thanks for posting week 2. I love touching base throughout the plan. It provides the support that we all love.

It sure does, Ellen.

I really like hearing what other's are doing throughout the week. Sometimes it gives me ideas of things I need or want to do.

Have a really great week!!

Time Management & Scheduling - I was just complaining/whining in chat last week that my days seems to be contingent upon what everyone else has planned for me. It's my own fault because although I have spent countless hours deciding what needed to be done and when I allowed everyone elses plans to take priority. "Oh, I can do that tomorrow...........they really need me to babysit today." I need to get back into the routine of following my own plans and realizing that my plans are just as high on the priority list as everyone elses. I'm off to tweak MY PLANS.

How's everyone doing on your plans and prep?

I am off to a pretty good start this week.

Seasonal calendar - is set up and I have included the dates for the big Christmas craft show that we go to every year.

Scheduling session - I have left a message for the company that comes to service the fridge and stove and will set up a day for them to come out. DD wants to get a hair cut soon and possibly color it. Once she has that taken care of I will book the portrait studio for the kids' pictures.

Tear files are organized and ready to be filled

Gifts to Make list has been filled in and I will be going through my supplies to see if there is anything I need to buy.
