Getting Organized & Making a Schedule

Work­ing for Yourself…

I have spent the last cou­ple of days work­ing on this Tim Loomis Pho­tog­ra­phy web­site; blog plus my Life Coach­ing web­site & blog at Con­nect­ing­Pointe; my Cre­ative Busi­ness Con­sul­tants web­site & blog.

Last Octo­ber I got busy and scanned some of my old slides that I took in Kipahulu Val­ley on the island of Maui. One of the most beau­ti­ful of the Hawai­ian Island chain. Okay, I’m biased and love all the islands!

One of the hard­est aspects of being my own boss is keep­ing track of time and focused on my projects. I find that I get caught up in a project and loose track of the oth­ers on my plate. I have found that it is very impor­tant for me to set goals for what I want and the pri­or­ity of each one. Once this is done set up a sched­ule for myself, that sup­ports me in stay­ing on track for accom­plish­ing me goals.

An exam­ple is tak­ing the time to write my blogs for my 3 sites. Cre­at­ing the time to scan and work on my pho­tographs. Time to work on my clients projects. Time for my coach­ing clients and then time for my wife and fam­ily… Time for me too!!! Whew!

So I am going to keep track of my photo goals here on this blog. I am dis­cov­er­ing that this is a great way for me to stay on track and keep my focus. I am using my other blogs to keep track of my coach­ing and web busi­ness. So my blogs have become an intri­cate part of my day rather than some­thing to do… Sub­tle and very pow­er­ful time man­age­ment… Cre­ate a blessed and mag­i­cal day… I would love to hear your thoughts on this sub­ject as well…

Scanning Slides from My Past

I have worked on scan­ning some old slides from the 70s as well and I keep for­get­ting how much time that takes.

So what is the bot­tom line here? Could it pos­si­bly be man­ag­ing my time? What are my pri­or­i­ties. Obvi­ously, my blog­ging has been at the bot­tom of the pile. My dreams have been about revamp­ing and spend­ing more time with my blogs and want­ing to cre­ate rela­tion­ships that are not about sell­ing or help­ing. I want to cre­ate rela­tion­ships where we sup­port each other in cre­at­ing JOY in our lives for our­selves and thus the peo­ple around us. This planet sure can use more joy!

I have scanned pic­tures of Haleakala Crater on Maui in Hawaii… Bring­ing back won­der­ful mem­o­ries. Mem­o­ries of a time in my life where I was very close to the earth energy’s. A time of being very con­nected to myself and dis­cov­er­ing my place in the scheme of things. I didn’t real­ize at the time, I was build­ing the foun­da­tion for what I would start to build in the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

This idyl­lic life was too soon come crash­ing down. An oppor­tu­nity to step deep inside myself and start a new sea­son of my life. This one was def­i­nitely a work sea­son. A time where I stepped into the abyss of being a vic­tim to my life and the world around me. An oppor­tu­nity to look inside and make some dif­fer­ent choices and dis­cover many sub­con­scious belief sys­tems that were really run­ning my life. To con­nect with peo­ple instead of push­ing peo­ple away. To stop hid­ing in the wilder­ness. Okay, now to go on to some other aspects of my social net­work­ing as I am very con­scious of where I am spend­ing my time… Pri­or­i­ties… Cre­ate a blessed and mag­i­cal day. I would love to hear some of your sto­ries… Tim

I am get­ting back into my pho­tog­ra­phy after a 15 year hia­tus! My focus this year is to scan the thou­sands of slides I took in the 70s and cre­ate new works of art from them. Here are a few sam­ples of what I cre­ated for a show at Square Deal Fram­ing last summer.

I also want to scan and work on my images from my ‘Indian Cow­boy’ Project that I did from 1977 to 1982. Okay I am a lit­tle slow and now we have some won­der­ful tech­nol­ogy to sup­port me in get­ting my work out.
