Fly on the E-Commerce Cyberwall

Day 4 of 14-Day Challenge
Momentum slowed today. Processing a sale from my eBay store took longer than expected. A "quick" change on a client's site took longer than expected. My wife's doctor visit took longer than expected. A "quick" signup for LinkedIN at my daughter's invitation took longer than expected.

Not that I'm making excuses...

Actually, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Pure and simple, I tried to pack too great of a variety of things into today and I fell short on making progress toward my goal. About all I accomplished today toward my goal was some organizing I was able to do in the doctor's waiting room.

I organized the assets I had inventoried on previous days into different categories and arranged them to give a clear picture of how the various assets could be used through the various distribution channels I control.

It will be a very handy chart for future projects, but future is not what this challenge is all about. I'll have to reassess my schedule for tomorrow. I've already scheduled it full of client work and I fear a repeat of today. I have to get the client work done (even if some of the work is pro bono for nonprofits I work with). At least some of the work is PAYING client work.

But I have to get the momentum moving forward again on the challenge. I guess today just shows the delicate balancing act involved in a challenge such as this: other responsibilities versus a major goal.

Tune in tomorrow to see how I resolve Saturday's dilemma.
