Day Two

Okay, many thoughts today. The mind is racing. How to get this done.

Firstly, three? 3? Three tasks a day? Now, how and why did I think three tasks a day would suffice for getting a biz off the ground? Sure, it is the early days, but just so for that reason, I should be laying it on thick. More like ten tasks a day. Right?

Well, naturally after that I have merely to report this as my only task:

1. Sent email looking for graphic designers

Oh, but the thinking. Hopefully that counts for something.

Today I had snippets of thoughts that went like: what if I can do this? what if the content is not good enough? what if I run out of steam? But I can. I can. I can.

Upcoming tasks include:

1. Business Plan, Business Plan, Business Plan!!
