Sometimes I wish I could take my clock and bury it forever. I remember when I was little the days seemed endless, playing with friends and more playing after dinner. Now my whole day is filled with deadlines, stuff to get done, business meetings, appointments etc.etc. I don’t know about you but it feels  a bit frustrating sometimes. I love it when I manage to get a whole day free of any scheduled things and I can go sit in a cafe and write all day.  It is delicious. Today isn’t one of those days. I have two article deadlines, bills to pay, clients to call, people to call back and of course, things to file and put away.

I now take one day every week and keep it free from appointments. I call that my writing day and I protect that time like gold.  Doing that keeps me sane. I would love to hear what other people do to deal with this challenge.

What I love about  running a small business is the variety and creativity and it also requires self discipline and impeccable organization. I guess I am stuck with that darn clock!
