A note to self

Good morning.  I hope you had a good night.  I know you’ve had a tough time keeping up with writing projects lately for various reasons.  Perhaps you’ve had a couple good days and the book project looks like it might actually get someplace this week.  Hopefully.  If not, fear not.  Good work can be accomplished today.  There is hope with application of focus and energy.
Thoughts here were suggested by you at a somewhat lucid time hoping you might actually help yourself stay on track on some distant morning.  
It’s time to get to work.   I know you’re retired, but still:  It’s time to get productive.      
Today’s work should consist of some positive accomplishment on the Todd project.  
That could be reading, outlining, data gathering, revising, drafting, setting up photography, emailing, or some other job directly related to The Dressy Adventuress.  
Three days a week minimum / 3 hours a day suggested.
  
***
On other days and at other times, the following projects should be considered:  
Ideas to be listened to and developed. 
√  The Back Porch blog entries
√  original poetry construction/revising
√  syncing original photography to poetry 
•  tj originals or cover [i.e. Emily Dickinson]
√  essay development
√  short story development
√  earthspeaks.org development
•  redesign as Home of Wild Grace
•  original images, poems, essays, links
•  ekphrasis exercises
•  earthspeaks.org podcast:
    Wild Grace:  Giving voice to nature’s people
√  Spiral Nebula:  New poems by Tom Schaefer 
development
•  include digital imagery
√  playlist/jewel box content development
Be aware of time spent surfing.  Data gathering, I know, but remember focus and energy.
Try to keep computer entertainment and smoke until afternoon, preferably late afternoon.   
Get something done today.  You’ll be glad you did.  The people you live with will love you for it.  
Be mindful.  
Praise the Spirit of the Universe
