Taking time to save time

Alright I admit it, I haven't done a single thing I wanted to do with my books etc in the last couple of weeks *breaks down*. Now I have that off my chest, I feel much better. *EXCUSE WARNING COMING UP* Even though I thought work would calm down, I was wrong and instead I have been working long hours each day and have had so much to do that everything, including looking after myself, has taken a backseat. Because of that, I have basically been left completely and utterly exhausted but yesterday, I organised my life enough to work out a proper schedule AND NOW I AM FINALLY FREE TO WORK ON MY BOOKS! Even though I still have the same amount of work to do as before, I have sorted out my days better to fit in more but not at the expense of my health.

So the plan for this week is to read through all my previously self-published books to get quotes from them for promotional purposes - if I can. I have been trying to do a million things at once recently and I think that has left me, ironically, with absolutely no time and less achieved. Something happened last week that really changed things for me: basically if I had taken more time on a project, instead of rushing it to save time, I wouldn't have WASTED as much time as I did and not have a poor end result. That experience taught me to take more time and do things properly ... and I am going to do exactly that! Like I said in my last post, I want to find balance and I can't do that by rushing everything. I would like to have read all my books by the end of this week but if that is not possible, I want to know that everything I have done, is done to the best of my abilities.

Hopefully my next blog post will be me saying I'VE ACTUALLY DONE SOME WORK ON MY BOOKS. Oh and I forgot about Tweeting more ... lol.

Until next time.
