I woke up last night out of a nightmare due to the fact that I don’t have a list of tasks longer than my arm to accomplish STAT, only things that I really ought to get to sooner rather than later, and I was worried that I missed something vital. In the dream, my teeth and legs fell off because I hadn’t been paying close enough attention.
Sometimes I get in one of those ruts where I’m working so hard that I hardly notice that I’m operating out of fear and avoidance, rather than reaching toward opportunity.
Every day freelancing is stepping off the edge and into a void, I swear.
…
New release: October Nights: 31 Tales of Hauntings & Halloween. If you like Ray Bradbury short stories, give it a look.
Now that’s a dream I would have fallen into a cold sweat over!
Just a thought – – Keep your lists shorter so when there is nothing on it you don’t freak out. Short lists carry less stress and more reward.
As a freelancer, it’s almost always feast or famine 🙂
