One week on and there’s still a lot to do.

It’s been a week since my first post and I would have liked to have written something mid-week but everything is rather chaotic still and I’m still getting things organised. The biggest development was my investment in a new laptop. It’s an absolute beast of a machine boasting blu-ray writing capabilities and an Intel i7 chip. I would have liked an iMac for around a similar price but I really need something that is portable, for mobile working. A Macbook Pro would have been ideal but double the price, such was my situation.
The other thing I would like to mention is the issue of focus. The necessity to learn what to focus on and when. It is becoming apparent that more so than ever, when you are working for yourself, you and you alone are in charge of your time management and what you work on. There is to an extent some hand-holding when in a team and when you are actually assigned to something by someone else. Now all the responsibility lies with me!
So, what are the plans for this week? Collating previous work, getting it ready for my portfolio; Scanning some sketches to show my working process; Setting up a home server for true test development environment. Then there are all the other admin tasks, like talking to potential clients, meetings, backing up data. I’ve also got to clear off some existing client work.
I better get back to it all!
