Buck up, chica, January isn't that bad! Diana 12.19.09 Kristin Burns
Although my goals are a week late (due as much to enjoying my husband's winter break from his PhD studies as to my procrastination) I think they're still going to get done.
First a look back at my December goals:
1. Really enjoy the holiday season with my friends and family - Done, with gusto!
2. Have fun at the chaotic, busy but rewarding days of shoots - be they in-home, mini-sessions or, gasp, Santa - Done, never had a busier $$$-er month as a photographer
3. Purchase/order/make thoughtful gifts for my favorite people - I hope so
4. Taxes! - Pushed to this month to take advantage of a fabulous new accountant
5. Reach out to people I admire for more support & ideas - Some but not enough
Feeling a bit unmotivated this month. I really think I would have been smart to schedule some of the 765846 December shoots in January instead but I was really trying to get everything done before the holidays so my clients would have photos to share with their families. Now I've lost some of the momentum that carried (or possibly drove along tidal wave style) me through December.
Enough griping, here's January's goals:
1. Update photo galleries with new work
2. Prepare for upcoming art fairs
3. Reach out to people I admire for more support & ideas, including adding a blog-roll here
4. Blog ahead more
5. Schedule 3 in home shoots

Take each day as it comes so you don't get too overwhelmed or unmotivated. Good luck on your goals! `=O)
ReplyDeleteWooHoo - SOunds like you need some serious down time! I'm thinking that when you have a busy month like Dec you're allowed to let some of the goals slide! Now when you look back here next October you'll remember how crazy busy you were it at least expect it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with january!

Thanks for the reminder Kristen, that one about taking on too much and making it all happen, and then totally loosing steam. I do that ALL the time and then find myself wondering what happened. Love your #3, totally wonderful idea. Have a great rest of January!
