Progress Report: Week 42

I didn't expect to accomplish anything this last week because of the holidays, traveling, getting sick, breaking my phone etc.  Let's see if I managed to make any progress . . .

1.  Get a new job and move. No progress.

STEP 3: decide on the size of the card
STEP 4: design the template for the back of the card
STEP 5: choose a printer or buy paper to print on my own


3.  Write a script No progress.

4. Publish a poem No progress
STEP 3: identify some places where I would like to submit a poem and qualify

Progress Report: Week 38-41

 It's getting down to the wire, and I still have a lot to accomplish.  Obviously I don't expect to get through everything in the next 1.5 months, but I'm hoping I can at least make progress on everything.

1.  Get a new job and move. No progress.
Still haven't done the PR application.  I really need to do this.  It's amazing how many things just get in the way. I have been pretty busy at work this past month.  I've also decided to stay on at my job until the end of the year, so I'm going to dial back the job searching until the late fall.

STEP 4 Do application to PR program

2.  Make my own postcards. **TINY PROGRESS**
I've started tinkering around with Photoshop, so I can probably design the cards on that.

STEP 1: identify 5 photos I would like to use on the cards
STEP 3: decide on the size of the card
STEP 4: design the template for the back of the card
STEP 5: choose a printer or buy paper to print on my own

Progress Report: Week 36-37

I feel very positive about this stuff this week.  I think it is because I made some progress on a couple things I have been avoiding, but I let a bunch of things fall to the wayside.  I could have easily done much more.

1.  Get a new job and move. No progress.
Need to stop procrastinating and do the PR program application!

STEP 4 Do application to PR program
STEP 5: Look for apartment
STEP 5 Keep job searching
STEP 6 keep thinking about what I want to be doing in the next 5 years

2.  Make my own postcards. No progress
STEP 1: identify 5 photos I would like to use on the cards
STEP 3: decide on software to use to to design my card (using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and/or Lightroom) especially the back side
STEP 4:  Design the template for the back of the card.

Progress Report: Week 30-35

I'm a little bit freaked out because the time is dwindling before August!  I am going to get back to my once and week posting to keep myself on track

1.  Get a new job and move. **TINY PROGRESS**
There are some things developing at work, so I am thinking about perhaps staying on another year, or at least until 2016 so I can see some major projects through.  Instead, I am thinking about moving later this summer.

I'm hoping to do my PR program application this week, so I can be ready for the course that starts in June.  May was an insanely busy month a work, plus I am taking on more responsibilities, so I did not get around to doing it.

STEP 4 Do application to PR program
STEP 5: Look for apartment
STEP 5 Keep job searching
STEP 6 keep thinking about what I want to be doing in the next 5 years

2.  Make my own postcards. No progress
I think I might check out what vendors can do for me instead of designing the card myself.

STEP 1: identify 5 photos I would like to use on the cards
STEP 3: decide on software to use to to design my card (using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and/or Lightroom) especially the back side
STEP 4:  Design the template for the back of the card.

3.  Write a script **TINY PROGRESS**
I have slowly started working on my script again.

Progress Report: Week 26-29

So I fell off the band-wagon hard with this, and then I got afraid to go back, and made it worse.  But it's a new month.  Spring is really here.  Time to get back on track.

1.  Get a new job and move. No progress.
I haven't done any more applications in a while, but I am doing a volunteer production coordinator thing which hasn't been too much work and has been good experience. 
I haven't applied to the PR program at work yet, but I did work out the payment plan.

Projects at work have been going well, better than I expected actually and so far I have been doing a pretty good job managing them.  This are going to really heat up in about 2 weeks so we'll see if I can keep up.

STEP 2  Apply!!!
STEP 3  follow up with PR program to sign up for courses
STEP 4 Do application to PR program
STEP 5 keep job searching
STEP 6 keep thinking about what I want to be doing in the next 5 years

2.  Make my own postcards. No progress
