My first feelings of last week were “big disappointmentâ€. Really I have one project I wanted to get through and did very little work on it. The number 2 and 3 tasks for the week also went unfinished. Where did the week go & what happened?
Interruptions are common, especially working at home with twin babies. Some days I am the primary caretaker. Other days there is “help†or my wife as the primary, but I am often called to help (or just feel I must). Then the few hours that I get away or the babies are away are productive, even if not on my top tasks.
However, I look at the calendar, accomplishments & focus of last week and much of what I set out to do was accomplished.
If I was not doing these weekly reviews & recording of goals then I would be left with an unrealistic view of the past.
Some things in my life needs to change, but that is the point of working on the system and not just in it. Day by day, learning about myself and the world around me – so that day by day I get better at shaping the world & my life to be what I desire it to be.
Super Moon Shooting
Over what feels like an entire week, but was technically 3 calendar days, or 2 nights, I went out and captures images of the moon. The moon was bright itself, but did not look the biggest I have ever seen. Might just be our location, but I can remember “HUGE†moons in the past and this was not one.
Two things came form this experience:
– I learned about my camera
– I am interested in shooting stars when there is no moon
Because I was sitting there and had a beam of light in an otherwise dark sky shooting a stationary target, I could play with the settings. I now better understand two of the settings, at least when shooting something bright like a stage or building in the dark.

Ally Nation
Ebook on websites – very little was accomplished, other then some mental work on this & helping some people.
Did manage to update a little more then normal on the site, with an extra deeper look at StartingCube 19 – Media Earthquake.
Me
Post more then normal with three in the [Best Shot] series, and one original article about money and priorities.
I also managed to go walking & taking pictures three times, that is a good additional physical activity for me. Some of those days I also stopped by the Y and lifted some weights.
The mental breaks were good steps towards being more productive.
