The Blueprint for Balance

Hello RCD readers,

As the last week of this month. I'm focussing on no new content.  I'm focussing on planning content for February and March. Plus contiplating if I should or shouldn't blog during fasting.

Next month we have three very important events. The Chinese New year. The Ramadan beginning. The starting of Lent. So thinking about what fits for me is hard to comprehend. I usually write daily and talk about what I've learned that day. This year I'm being more silent is perfect for me. If I'll share after. I have no idea but from this end I feel being silently connected to the Lord sounds perfect for me.

Successful marktening strategy 

My strategy this month was planned better. The was three days a week with a certain goal at hand.  The tip post, the call to action post and last the behind the scenes post. Each has their own purpose. One is to show your expertise. This allows potential client's to start believing that you know what you're talking about. Two is to actually get people excited to work with you. Mostly client viewing or end results is perfect.  And last is to show what your process is and to understand what to expect.

Fasting

I think fasting is like cleansing the body, the soul and the heart.  That's all start with watching what you put in your body. That's giving yourself a clean slate with the Lord and strengthen your relationship with Him. You can do it with praying. You can do it with reading your bible. Not missing church services. It's feeds your relationship with the Lord.  And last just being more kind. That means making more of an conscious effort of being kind towards other's around you. This most of the time soften my heart. To make an extra effort for other's. 

The importance of planning ahead

Why do I make batch content before hand every last week of the month for the next month? I believe content is important.  But I also believe it's an entirely job on itself. And when it comes about creating time for that. I don't have it on a daily.  Which is why the reason I choose not to post the last week of the month. I use this time for :

- making a content calender, doing the brain work before making the content and doing the research of what I want to post.

- I create deadlines. Every project has a time line. Mostly because every project is on their own stage of the design process. 

- I do my administration for the month (including tax registration)

- I do my follow ups for the month

- I do my payments for the month

- and last my monthly finances in the books.

Ballet Lesson plan

Each month I look into each class what I need to teach them. And come up with a lesson plan. I choose the same barre because I want my kid's to correct themselves instead of staying the same. I can only allow them that if we have repetition.  I've noticed the discipline is lacking and attention span is very short. The ones that want to be better are correcting themselves and other's are stopping or getting bored and disturbing the class. Sadly all a part of teaching kids.

Deadlines 

Let's talk about finishing project's. 

1) We have two 3D models to make. One deadline is this week and the other next week.

2) We have two project's in building department. This comes with checking if I need to correct the drawings.  

3) We have two definitive designs that need corrections. One wants an entirely new design. The second one I need to fix the construction drawings. If I don't find any other corrections today. 

4) I need to do two building cost for two different project's. 

I believe planning before hand saves time and money. Because time management is the best way to be productive and do the most with the same amount of time in the day.

Have a blessed week
