The great news is that Mma was released late yesterday afternoon from the hospital.
Today was hectic, with one meeting after another. I met with:
1. the tiler to measure my kitchen floor and give me a quote.
2. a plumber
3. a tenant who'll be moving in at the end of Jan into one of my places.
4. a graphic designer who finalised my company logo ( I approved it) and will now start designing the brochure
5. an author and managing editor for one of the client publishing projects. I'm now getting 5 arch lever files full of artwork to look through and approve.
I'm only getting a moment now to sit down and write ( which is what I'm actually paid to do:-) and the workday is almost over. But I'm happy with what was accomplished today.
So, how do you manage your meetings? Do you batch most of them into one day ( as I have done) or do you spread them over each day? I prefer to batch them because even though the day of meetings is hectic, I have more free days to write and do admin. I find that it helps me with productivity because meetings drain my energy, even when the location is not too far from hom and the participants don't waffle.

I prefer to batch them, too. Much, much easier to lose one day to meeting than to lose several days. I had back-to-back meetings two Fridays ago, which took the entire day, but I knew that going in, so I worked around it.
I'm starting to "batch" the time I spend on-line. That keeps it limited, although I never get through everything every day. But at least I have more writing time!
