<p>One of my biggest personal challenges is staying focused on what I can do right now instead of mentally disappearing into what-if&#8217;s of whatever big thing is going on.  I did a little better than usual this week but still gave way too much attention to a contract interview that left me having nightmares that they would offer me the job (they didn&#8217;t, thankfully!) The lesson there is that I did in fact waste time on something that left me no further ahead at the end of the week.</p>
<p>I did get a subscription list created and installed on the home page with the auto-email created that will send out a free gift (try it!).  While not a huge deal it&#8217;s critical to moving forward on e-books and other publishing goals. I also checked out a few possible retail venues which turned out not be good candidates, but that was balanced by getting positive responses from a couple of museum shops.</p>
<p>I do think this will be a busy year full of positive changes&#8230;</p>
