Every Second Week...

The second week of each month is so busy! Our Free Community Lunch Committee serves lunch on the second Saturday of each month as well as hands out grocery bags of food to those in need. When AVON order date falls during this week, my schedule is jammed full!

I've been looking at ways to add more productive time for AVON and for writing. On one hand, I want to put AVON first because it is making money now. My writing isn't yet, but just like when you start AVON it takes time to build a customer base, writing takes time to build up a readership so that it does make money. Such a dilemma, if I do less writing, it will take longer to see success. If I do more writing, will my AVON business suffer? That is a hard question to answer and probably can be fixed with better time management.

The only extra time that I think I can schedule some writing time, would be either at night or in the mornings when I first get up. I'm not sure I want to give the morning time up because that is time spent with the girls. If I write at night, then that will also impact my mornings as I'll be tired.

I'm pretty good about juggling delivery of AVON orders to fit my schedule. I usually my customers a choice of only two times, they pick one, I write it down and it gets done. I used to have a harder time with this. I was always more concerned about their schedule than mine when one day a light bulb went off! It said to me HEY!....this is YOUR business and therefore, in YOUR control! Now, I almost never have a problem getting an order to a customer and their money collected.

It is now time to leave to pick up my daughter from kindergarten. I was just thinking today while driving around to my AVON delivery appointments that it would be really neat to throw her a birthday party next year when school is finished. We'd have to give the invites out while school was still in session. Summer birthdays are difficult that way but how fun would it be to have all her classmates over. I remember how fun it was for my oldest daughter at her age!
