My new work plans and goals for 2010

Though I didn’t make any official New Year’s Resolutions, I  have been looking forward to the new year so that I can get into an actual work routine now that the wedding, home buying, major home renovations, and holidays are behind us. The last half of 2009 was crazy busy for us, and my work days have been pretty unstructured and abnormal for a while.

Finding balance … and planning a wedding!

Last week I had lunch with a friend and we were talking about how life never seems to slow down. She just got married in Mexico after a near two-year engagement, is looking at new homes, and is managing constantly shifting responsibilities in her career as a regional manager for a cosmetics company. I am planning a wedding in a mere two months and as a result have practically ceased all blogging and freelancing activities. There simply isn’t enough time to accomplish everything; I feel like even if I had six extra hours in every day, I still wouldn’t be able to get it all done.

For a while, I was pushing myself to accomplish as much freelance writing as possible in addition to my part-time job. I was determined to meet my daily income goals, and it was working.
