How good
are you at setting timeframes and deadlines? Are you one to plan carefully and
realistically, bearing in mind foreseen and unforeseen obstacles or do you just
wing it and go with the flow?
I
confess I am more of the latter, which I must aceppt now, it a real problem in
certain areas. Even though I feel frustrated that something hasn't moved along as I wanted, I find accepting it quite liberating. It means now I can re-think and re-plan.
I have
come to the conclusion that it is impossible for me to release my summer
pattern in August. So what has caused delays and what is in the way?
- I’m getting married in about a months time
(OMG!) and even with a very small number of guests there is SO much to organise (unbelievable!!)
- I work full time in a target driven
environment with deadlines looming frequently. I do end up doing extra hours in
evenings and are often exaustead by the weekend.
- I "suddenly" discovered I love gardening and have spent some time outdoors. First spring with a garden, you see!
When I
get excited with something I want to do it now; here and then. I am extremely
impatient! And that often means I‘m overly confident in doing it quickly. When
obstacles arise and I can’t progress I get demotivated. Silly isnt’ it?
I am
super motivated to take Suzy Patterns forward, but I rather compromise timings
than quality. I am making great progress tackling grading issues and quite
positive these will be gone with my next pattern. But to make sure I need more
time. A few hours with excel and I feel I’m on track.
The next
Suzy Pattern will be for a Autumn/Winter design with a tentative late release early to
mid November. I’ll keep you posted on progress!
Thank
you for your understanding!
