Time management and the art of saying no

Wow. What a post title! In fact this is exactly what I am doing right now...learning how to better manage my time and learning how to say no to projects. I know. Wow. The time management thing is still a work in progress. I am trying to do my freelance work at home with both boys home now, which proves to be difficult sometimes. I am hoping to find someone who is willing to do some babysit swapping or something. We'll see.

The art of saying no is a bit trickier....I love to please people and make them happy. But I have to say no to some things, such as pro-bono design work. It absolutely SHOCKS me to the core that people do not and will not pay for good design work. I am not saying that I am the best or anything like that, but good design speaks for itself. There is a reason why people get degrees in this. Sigh.

On that note, I am going to go organize and clean my house. I have been so busy this week with freelance projects (which is a good thing) that the house needs some serious TLC. So please check back often and soon....I will be around here more. I promise!
