Manic Monday


After feeling sorry for myself all weekend, I find myself in complete overdrive on this lovely, work-free Monday. My cold has subsided to a mere sniffle and I'm actually feeling pretty good, so I plan to make the most of it before the 9-5 resumes.

My plans for the day include:

  • Cleaning up my study
  • Hanging some prints
  • Taking Polaroids around the house
  • Taking Polaroids around the neighbourhood (weather permitting)
  • Painting my refrigerator with blackboard paint
  • Cleaning the apartment from top to bottom
  • Get my Google Reader below the dreaded 1000+ unread items
  • Work on a range of exciting design projects

Given that the first 3 were ticked off before 7am, I'm fairly optimistic I can achieve a few more throughout the day, even with an afternoon family session planned. I'm sure the lack of sleep will catch up with me at some stage, especially with my local cafe closed for the day, but I think I can fit a nap in there too.

[Clean desk, pretty prints on wall - yay!]

[More prints, finally on my walls instead of in a pile!]

Come to think of it, that nap is sounding pretty good right about now. But before I pass out, tell me what you're up to this fine day!

Good for you! How did you get so much accomplished by 7am? You've inspired me to stop eating mini chocolate bunnies, and clean up my office space. Merci beaucoup.

I sort of cheated, I had a few hours sleep the evening before, then stayed up from about midnight onwards. It seemed like a really good idea until I was out at a family shindig and was ready to sleep on the table by 6pm!
Very productive- I'm impressed:)
My day is entertain mum and partner for morning tea, clean house before they arrive, sort out bills(yuk), tidy office, and force child to clean his room.
Lets see if either of us complete the list:)

You definitely got more done than I did, the rest of my list stayed untouched thanks to my 6pm crash and burn. And let's be realistic, the room cleaning was never going to happen :D
How on earth did you manage to check 3 things off this whole day, much less before 7am?!!? Of course, I am very impressed :-)

I wouldn't recommend it! I only managed it because my body clock is well and truly screwed.
I guess the key to productivity seems to be to get up before 7am... Loving the look of those prints and polaroids and am now keen to sweep off an array of paper from my desk into the recycling bin. Thanks for the inspiration!

Sounds like a lovely day, Electro Geisha, how'd you go?
Love the first pic! I have been avoiding work-related stuff all day - I should really stop planning to work on weekends and public holiday because I never did :) But glad that I've made lunch for tomorrow, baked a flourless choc cake and framed a print that I bought in HK.
