“I have been experimenting with a new strategy for combatting procrastination and it seems to be working! It’s nothing so genius; it’s actually a very simple idea — which might explain why it has proved effective.

I started using a stopwatch.”

It was a very big week for me, I am finally moving forward on a much needed upgrade for my office. A new Mac Book Pro and my very own shiny new copy of Adobe CS5 Design Premium! I put the order in and today (just a few moments ago,) the first package arrived. (see photo above, this is not a pose – I was seriously THAT excited.)

I’m still only in the early stages of my business — I’ve been reluctant to spend, in favor of growing capital and it’s been tight. It feels good to finally reward all my long hours and hard work with new tools (toys!) that are going to make my work that much more enjoyable.
