Keep Your Nose to the Grindstone...
Having spent the past month working in, on and giving folks the business, the 31 DOD Challenge is 
quickly coming to a close. As the year winds to a close, it is but human nature to get lax and let things slide.
While temping, there is still a lot to get accomplished before the New Year starts. I don't know about you, but it seems, the more I do, the more I see that needs to get done. Kinda the proverbial, too much to do and so little time. That being said, I need to put my nose to the grindstone the next few day. I still think it is a bitch of a position to work in, but what the heck. I'll manage…...

Michael, Your statement "the more I do, the more I see that needs to get done."
I believe that totally covers it! I can't visit Active Rain without coming away with more to do than I went in with!

Diane, more like grinding the other cheek! I agree. I seem to come out of ActiveRain with many ideas, but in the end I ask what one thing can I implement in the next 40 days every day and sustain. I've narrowed my business activity to things that I can sustain over the long run with minimal cost and effort but get the most lead generation from. Sustainment is the main ingredient I look for when taking on a new task. Could I sustain this new activity for my clients and make it worthwhile for them? If so, it'll be worthwhile for me, too.

Michael- what this 31 DinD has made me realize is that you can do something every day for your business, whether it's blogging, tweeting, making calls, whatever... every day counts!

Good morning sir,
I know what you are saying, it seems like for every ONE thing I get finished there are two things that come to the funeral. Good luck in getting things finished before the start of the New Year so you can start fresh.

Michael,
It is just as easy, and more fun, to get a red nose by drinking.

Christmas this year was tough at our household as the flu made its rounds. We kinda felt like we were really being grounded down for sure!
