Organizing

Filed under: Finacial Freedom, Organizing, Writing, Writing Services — Jan @ 6:31 am

Organizing has been a priority lately as more writing jobs are coming in. I wrote a post on this Wickefire thread, How do you stay organized? There are some other posts on it with good information also.

I have today and tomorrow off from one of my wage earning jobs. Tomorrow is busy with some appt and my second job. Today is time with my daughter and one meeting at church. I hope to catch up on writing jobs and writing for my own projects. I can hardly wait until Saturday when my hours will be reduced at Wal-mart! I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed lately, but at the same time excited as my Jan’s Writing Services is growing! :)

Miscellaneous Updates

Filed under: Finacial Freedom, Income Steams, Personal, Projects, Writing — Jan @ 7:54 am

A few things that are going on:

  • Wal-Mart-I’m still waiting for my hours to be cut down so that I can devote more time to writing. Our department moved this week as part of the remodel, so my needs aren’t at the top of list of things to take care of! :)
  • Reducing wage earning hours-I found out I can probably keep my medical if I go part-time. I need to get the specifics on what will change. Right now I just need to pay bills. I will eventually have the equivalent of one day a week for 3 months pay saved up before I cut back further. The next step is to have the dollar amount of my benefits covered in writing/internet income and then have the equivalent of 3 months saved before taking the next step.
  • Personal serious issue-still in “waiting it out” stage for resolve. Doing what I can as I wait.
  • Personal happy news-moved up a decade with my transportation! I’m selling my 1986 and now have a 1993 :). I just smile as I drive it…..I’m SO happy. The end of next month my (step) dad will be here to visit and with a horse for us to keep here to ride and for my daughter to learn on. He lives in CO and we miss him a lot.
  • Writing-busy enough that I have not been able to write another package for “Why Wait for Content?” thread. Somewhat impatient waiting for my hours to be cut back on so that I can write more.
  • My projects-neglected because I’m writing so much for pay and am getting ready for a craft show
  • Kontera-I increased the density on the number of links and am making money again! :) I need to make time to request permission for use on a couple more projects.

Update

Filed under: Personal — Jan @ 10:42 am

I got lots of writing done the past few days and made more progress with the sorting and organizing. The break was helpful with my personal situation, also. Had time with friends and now back to reality! I got some yard work done (which I find relaxing) while I tanned a little.

I do feel refreshed and rejuvenated and being burnt out is but a memory! :)
