Enough hours in the day?

Or is it just a case of not using them wisely enough?

My first show with the Sussex Guild is coming up next weekend (at Pashley Manor) hence all the talk about stands and the like. I have an awful lot to get done this week and I don’t think I have enough hours available.

I know that I am easily distracted, to say the least, but I do get things done. I am getting better at scheduling (horrible word!) my time and putting tasks into blocks, I still underestimate the time I need for things.

One solution I have learned recently is to do things as I go along and not just leave them all to build up and become MASSIVE tasks.

I would love to know if anyone out there would want the wish fairy to bring more hours in the day, or just organise the time we have better?

A long stand

I think that I have a good basic idea of what my stand will look like thanks to a meeting I had this morning.

I just have to refine a few things and also decide whether to paint/paper/something else the boards.

All these decisions for such an indecisive person!

So far I'm managing to stick to my plan of action which I'm really pleased about. I also have an idea for the first piece of work so I'll get it drawn up this afternoon and source the wood needed.
Hopefully it will be well under way/complete by the weekend.
