So I was going to write a post about how little I did in March and how I’m no closer to opening up my shop again… but screw that, why let self-induced negativity into my life? We’re riding the positivity train over here people so let’s look at what I did do this month instead:
- Secured two new clients – one for a whole rebrand of their corporate identity and the other an interactive project (both should lead to more work)
- Created the modernemotive icon.
- Started the groundwork for the new direction of modernemotive and began the process of rethinking my tagline (thanks for all your input everyone!) to reflect it.
- Began designing my business collateral.
- Shared my first free downloadable PDF. Did you get yours?
- Updated my blog header (will redo it again once I finalize the tagline).
- Made a pact to get myself healthy again.
- Started the designs for some new products (have 3 on the go).
- Got the ball rolling on a potential new blog series I’ll be co-hosting with a great online friend.
- Finally pushed my procrastination aside and replaced my lost iPhone. I’m on my third. Please don’t ask about the other two. I’m mobile again and that’s all that matters.
Sure there’s a lot more I could of done and possibly stuff I’ve overlooked on my list, but I was working on something way more important, myself. Without that, the rest means nothing.
How was March for you?

I agree, it sounds like you were still pretty productive, if not as productive as you would have liked. Personally, I’m so ridiculously, overly ambitious, if I got mad at myself every time I didn’t live up to my insane self imposed standards, I be in a state of constant self-loathing. And that sure won’t get me anywhere!
March was pretty good for me, because I FINALLY launched my new online store after months and months of waiting and work. So that was very exciting! Now the big work of promoting it and filling it with more and more things begins! March was also filled with some great events with friends and lots of nice weather though, so I’m happy with the way things worked out.
That all sounds fabulous to me!!!
I am excited to see all the new things you are coming up with!
You do deserve a big pat on the back…and maybe a drink or two!
Keep up the positive thinking and reflecting…It is contagious!
I am inspired by you. I was looking at my March list today and shaking my head over what I didn’t do….
thanx for the change of perspective!
Have a fabulous long weekend! Lisa :)
sounds like a very productive march to me! congrats on #1! and looking forward to all the new things you have brewing too :) my march: getting the hang of working and mothering.. that’s about it! finished season 4 of lost, started season 5 ha!
adele – it sounds to me as if you got – as i would say – a crap ton done this month! (note: i have no idea what a crap ton is… )
congrats to you – and your positive attitude! i might just have to do my own post like this. what a fabulous way to pat yourself on the back and give yourself a little kick for the new month!
Sounds like you got a lot done! It’s easy to focus on what you didn’t do, but often once you make a list it becomes clear that it wasn’t as bad as you thought.
I also made a pact with myself to get healthy again. I used to do yoga daily, run and eat healthy, and now I am sitting most of the day and eat like crap. I’m doing okay so far!
