I'm up early, dressed, showered... ready to take on the administrivia for the week. Pages are mostly handled (long deadline), projects are my focus right now. I am going to be a bit more diligent in tracking my time. I've also started tracking my earnings not through money earned but type of work. First quarter numbers are good. I'm excited about the new "thing" I'm going to explore on Friday. Watch till the end!
Carpe diem, y'all!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! And another Monday. I'm still dragging with the time change so I'm starting later in the day than normal. But I'm excited to start a new week with so many projects, a trip to convention, some consulting gigs, some volunteering. I think that's what I love so much about what we do, y'all. Every day, every week, every month can be an adventure! Ain't it grand? (Now I just need to find time for a nap)

You all know I love giving back... and I've been speaking at the local law school for many years now, sharing with the students who will be future litigators how they can work WITH court reporters to create a truly excellent record.
I love doing this - and if you have the chance, please consider doing it in your area. The "baby" lawyers appreciated it and the next generation of court reporters will too!
We all love rituals - girls nights, massages, regular workouts... but what about our working rituals?
Do you have any that ease you into your productivity? Perhaps alleviate any anxiety?
Our job as a stenographer (or captioners) is filled with stressors and if we can develop rituals for ourselves to help limit those stresses, think how healthy, happy, and productive we can become?!
I've been waiting for this trip... plotting, planning... and now it's here! A bit of everything - convention, explorations, catching up with friends, resort, spa - and I'm excited. If I can just get this last little bit DONE!
Headed south to Florida for the StenoCon - FCRA's annual conference. They always do a PHENOMENAL program. Looking forward to making my presentation and sharing the HOW of voice writing with the professionals there in Florida.
Then, next week, the cross-country train adventure begins as I head to the NVRA annual convention at the Knott's Hotel in Buena Park, CA.
