A High Note
I'm starting off the year on a high note, at least in terms of the Big Idea. This morning, I started working at 10 a.m. and--with the exception of a wasted hour in which I attempted to see a sold-out Syriana with my parents, who decided they were unable to enjoy Silver Spring in a non-movie capacity and instead returned home--I'm still working at 9 p.m.
The key to my productivity has been the creation of an excel spreadsheet that charts my hours spent on the Big Idea. I have it broken down into categories, with a column for each day of the month. With any luck, in a few months I'll begin to see which areas are providing income, and which can be scrapped. In the meantime, I'm eager to log in some hours--and thus my late-night scurrying.
Incidentally, I am apprarently the ONLY one in the house who finds the 43 degree weather intolerable. I'm dressed from ankle to wrist in fleece, with wool socks to cover my shivering toes. I even considered wearing gloves, but decided that the mittens in my closet were not condusive to typing.
