My Schedule is All Off

Last night was another night of staying up till dawn broke, working on personal projects. I finally feel I’m getting on top of things. Of course now, my schedule is shot. I sleep all day and then I’m up all night – the cycle goes on and on.

I’m cutting back on coffee until I can correct my schedule. Yes, that means gruesome starts to the days, but it’s for the greater good.

Aside from messing with my sleep schedule. I’m also well behind on client work. I made the conscious choice not to budget my time, but instead to ride the wave of creativity until its bitter end. So now I have a weekend of catching up to do.

Not that it’s a big deal. I didn’t let myself get too far behind. Besides, I chose this.

I don’t want to work for someone else forever. I love my clients, but they are a means to an end. Once I have my own products in the market, I will slowly build up my own name and pull back from client work.  That has always been the goal.

As a ghost blogger or copywriter, I make an excellent income – but I’m not me. I’m them. I become my client in order to speak on their behalf. Wendy doesn’t exist, except here and on my other blogs.

Therefore, dedicating time to my personal projects isn’t a waste – it’s essential.
