As we step into 2020 I wonder what the new year holds for me, more so this year because 2019 was crazy. It was a year filled with travel to destinations including New York and Milan, both of those trips were to shoot fashion shows. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to take part in these events and to have meet so many amazing people along the way. I have spent many a long hour into the twilight editing and working on social media to promote my work. This year I plan to work smarter as opposed to working harder, so I begun with a proper clear up in my office, yes I can now see the surface of my desk. I am determined to keep on top of the constant flow of emails, phone calls and client meetings. This I will back up with a promise to myself to follow up on client leads and general business promotion…….
This all sounds excellent but how will I manage to fit all of this into my busy life which already includes running two businesses, being a husband, a father, a grand father and fitting in regular travel (my favourite thing !)
The simple answer is I’m not sure but I think that being more organised will help, along with focusing on the important tasks and ignoring the things that tend to distract us like browsing social media to see what other people are doing.
Reading this now at 5am ( I can’t sleep so I decided to get up and do something useful ) it all sounds brilliant but how long will I maintain the drive to work smarter ?
