But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

I need to stop being so scattered. I find myself pulled from one thing to the next, and I practically have to start over every time I get back to the original project. In frustration, I eat. Welcome to my train wreck, random, nosy, morbid readers.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11:
*Writing* We rented a table at a local Jewish preschool's fundraising flea market event, which resulted in one on-the-spot enrollment and a handful of potentials. We also have a couple of marketing campaigns coming up to push our summer camps.

We need a piano. We also need a text marketing service. Any readers have good leads?

Compile book inventory:
*Pencil* No activity. I need a big, uninterrupted chunk of time for this one... preferably one when nobody else is at the school. Wednesday morning? Yes, maybe Wednesday morning.

Pick scheduling database by 7/31/11:
*Writing* No activity.

Reading: One book per week.
*Writing* No. Activity. Either I'm too busy, or Jules Verne is just not engaging enough. It's not his plots, characterizations, or settings I find dull - he actually had a fantastic imagination. It's the fact that it takes him three pages to say what he could have said in one. I'm starting to wonder if "epic" isn't really the opposite of "economical."

Writing:
(1) *Check* Blog at WDC daily: Up to date and keeping up.
(2) *Writing* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. weekly: Pending.
(3) *Check* Establish daily and weekly writing goals: I established the goals, and then promptly failed to meet them this morning.

New goals in addition to the above goals:
(1) 30 minutes of daily freestyle journaling, blogging, or fiction writing. I scheduled this in the mornings, while the house is quiet and everyone else is still asleep, and then I slept in the first day on the job.
(2) MT.Com blogging by the end of Wednesday each week.

Count points: 11.5
Coffee (2)
Fiber granola bar (1)
Cookies (6)
Tuna (1.5)
Lima beans (1)
