[Day 10] One final push of online writing before the weekend

Whoa – one third of the way through the month already! Today has been hectic already; I’ve got several deadlines on jobs that are due today, so I’m working with my head down to get all those done first.

1457 – here’s a little insight into how my day has gone so far. I had 8 jobs to do this morning; I now have 3 remaining. One of those is tiny (one short blog) and one of the others shouldn’t take long and is due today. So I’ll be tackling that next. How do you plan your day when you have different deadlines to meet? I find it easier to focus on deadline stuff first because then I have wiggle room for the rest of the day if I need it.

Whew! It’s now nearly 9pm and I am just about to finish. I managed to write another article for our website (one of them anyway – we have two on the go to create and go live at the moment) and I have just done one final push to finish my last bit of work for the day. It was either a case of finishing late tonight and getting the whole weekend off, or finishing early and then having to do some tomorrow. I wasn’t sure I’d get everything done tonight but I’m glad I got my head down and carried on. Kinda stopped for dinner but it was only a quick break. Now I can relax with my Kindle and read for a while…

We have the gas pipe to be fixed in the morning (fingers crossed) so I may just write a blog tomorrow to let you know how it goes. Otherwise I shall enjoy my weekend off and arrive back at my desk bright and early on Monday morning, ready to watch the scaffolding going up. It’s all go! I’m intrigued to see how I can work when the new roof goes on, with men climbing up ladders right outside my office window… Not sure the cat will be too impressed. He hates loud noises, banging and men he doesn’t like. Sounds like a recipe for disaster doesn’t it?

Have a fantastic weekend!
