A Handbook for 2010

Woo! 2010 really hit the ground running this month! Every single day I had something going on either with Harrington, my photo biz, ASMP or APA every single day. I am exhausted. I am sort of happy to see February start. A whole new month for me to try to plan out my time a little better.

I am currently in the process of seeking a wordpress designer. I want a new design for my blog. Its sort of stupid but I feel it will make me a little bit more productive, so we will see. If you know someone please have them contact me right away as I am ready to get started.

A friend of mine passed this Handbook on to me and I wanted to share it here. I am sure you have seen it, its one of those chain emails but this one I found really great. Sort of a referecnce guide as to how I want 2010 to be.
Enjoy and thanks for reading
