Here are some other places I’d really like to go, but I don’t know if it will happen this year. & who better to do it with than my husband, who has the most immense general knowledge of the U.S.A.?! Have I told you recently that I love him? I do. OH, & when we – as in my husband & I – get our car back (late summer?!), we’re going to take it on a road trip ACROSS AMERICA! Which I have always wanted to do. I’m on the first day of the Clean Program & feeling a surge of energyyyy! Nubby & I were just emailing about our upcoming trip to Las Vegas & it has, of course, made me start thinking about all the places I’d like to go this year. Like, BOO – here’s my dick.” !!!! I love Luda. Wow! Ludacris just said the most amazing thing. Yay! I’m hoping it’s not going to be too cold, but I’m sure we’ll survive… ! I am about to whip out my Moleskine & start doing some serious planning! We both grew up in Wellington so there are always about 3 billion people to see, places to eat at, favourite shops to visit, etc.Happy new year! I’m watching No Strings Attached (um, it is very silly but still enjoyable) & feeling excitable. Simon & I are going to be in Wellington from the 2nd to the 7th of April. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, so… it’s time! If you have a blog or a mailing list or anything that you want to make better, start asking your readers for their thoughts! They know what they want all you have to do is give it to them. Ooh la la! It’s an exhilarating time! & I have to say, asking your readers for feedback, while initially a bit nerve-wracking, is totally worth it. The suggestions were magnifique & I’m going to start doing things differently. (Hee!) Last week, as well as the normal stuff, I asked my Cupcake kittens to fill out a little survey about how I could improve what I mailed out. I have a mailing list (oh, didn’t you know?!) called Cupcake which goes out every Thursday to a few thousand of my closest friends. Life is going to become much more exciting because of this alteration! This kind of scared me as a concept, & I wondered what I would do with all this “free time”.
So I’m going to compress the hours I work on it - & hopefully this will increase the quality as well as the volume of the work. As much as I love iCiNG, when I’m awake, I never really spend more than a couple of hours away from it. Even when I’m not posting articles, I am still replying to hundreds of emails, talking to advertisers, planning things for the future. Because I work in our living room, I find it hard to unplug from work, & so I end up caressing my Macbook from 7am until midnight every day. If someone gives you two hours to complete a project, you’ll get it done straight away, while a deadline that stretches out in front of you for three months becomes a hideous wrestling match. (I’m not finished yet, once I am I’ll review it for you.) One thing he talks about is how we get more work done if we have less time to do it in. I’ve been reading Timothy Ferriss’ The 4-Hour Workweek with great gusto & I’m really enjoying it. But hey! It’s a shiny new week, sparkling with promise. I’m not going to grade myself on last week’s resolutions because, well… I didn’t do too well. A Boatshed At Lowry Bay Under The Magical Skies Of The Southern Hemisphere
