Progress Update VII
I haven’t done a progress update in a while, because I haven’t gotten back into the swing of working on things since the holidays. Yes, I realize it’s mid-February…
So, I am going to go back to posting progress updates again. I’ll put “Progress Update” in the title, so you can skip them if you want, but I feel the need to do them because then, at least, it will provide some encouragement for me to actually get back to work on my eCommerce site.
Over the last couple days (the weekend mainly), I did do some work on the site again. But, before I get back onto it, I need to clear some obstacles out of my way. So, here are my goals for the next six days (which will allow me to post the next update on a Monday, as I did before, mostly).
- Finish a client’s website. Just have some tweaking to do (tables not cooperating…) and it is done.
- Clear off my desktop. The computer’s desktop, that is. What started out reasonably neat and orderly has turned into a complete mess.
- Remove old computer from my desk. I have a computer on my desk that I don’t remember the last time I turned it on. I used it as a network backup system of sorts, but now that I have some blank DVDs, I don’t really need to do that anymore. Well, actually it would be a good idea, but if I get a smallish external hard drive, that would take up a whole lot less space than a full computer. Not to mention that this computer is probably ten years old. I need to move all the files off it, and then get it off my desk. It did good work, and maybe I’ll put it to work again in the future, but right now I need the space.
- Organize all the miscellaneous notes that have accumulated on aforementioned computer’s keyboard, which also serves to confirm the computer has not been turned on in a long time.
I could go on, but if you give yourself too many tasks to accomplish at a time, you’ll just get overwhelmed and end up doing none of them. If I finish these before the Monday deadline, I can always move on to other things.
But, for right now, these are the things that need doing, as they form some of the biggest mental obstacles right now.
#1 is done! Yay!
One down, three to go.
#4 is done. Mostly. Tossed some old notes, and organized the rest, but need to stick them in some envelopes, which I don’t have at home.
But, I’ll count it as done.
Two down, two to go.
[...] Last week, I listed four things I wanted to get done for the week. [...]
A week late, but I’ve made some progress on #2, clearing off a whole lot of screen real estate. I can see my background picture again!
[...] Two weeks ago, my goals were to (1) complete a client’s website which I did do that week, (2) clear off my computer desktop which wasn’t completed, (3) remove old computer from my desk which wasn’t completed and (4) organize scattered notes on the aforementioned computer’s keyboard which was, more or less, completed that week.
