I’m Back!

September 9th, 2008

After almost five days of errors when trying to get to my WP admin, I’m back online. It feels good!

I’ve been very lazy lately - finding online games to fill my time instead of jobs. One job in particular, however, is currently teaching me what I consider a few very valuable lessons.

  1. If I can’t do the job by myself, and I can’t take the time to learn what I need to be able to do it myself, don’t take on a partner. I get stressed out enough just trying to keep myself on schedule. It’s much worse when I’m waiting on someone else, no matter how reasonable the delay is.
  2. Overbudget when proposing time frames. I read somewhere that you should tack on like 20% after you have the project length, then tack on another 20% when nobody’s looking. I should have done that - then I wouldn’t be feeling as guilty.
  3. I’m not so sure web design for businesses is really what I want to be doing right now. I much prefer designing for myself, and designing templates. I’m especially fascinated with things like Theme Forest, and I think I’m ready to get my Wordpress and proper web coding chops up to snuff.

At any rate, life will be very busy for the next couple of days - I’ve got a memory training workshop through Personal Freedom for the next two days, and a party tomorrow evening.
