I was kind of embarassed, it was like he was speaking directly to me. How would our Pastor know that I let something {as simple as an electronic object} describe me, and be so important. The message was loud and clear at church a few weeks ago …

It’s no surprise that I love my job. I hate to stop working because I love it so much. Remember my New Years Resolution’s and my 2010 goals? I swore I would give myself an intervention … from … that’s right, my iPhone! Truth is – I haven’t. I can’t. I am addicted.

But that brings me to what I wanted to talk about most, and that is productivity. I have been focusing on 2010 and what an amazing year it will be. How I want to change my business, myself, and all of those goals. But no matter what your role is, your job {a mom, an accountant}, you should never let that role describe yourself as a whole. This seriously sung out to me I try to be more productive, and read, or write, or get inspired. Then, my phone dings. It’s a new email. Or it lights up, because I got a new Facebook message. All of a sudden, I am distracted, and no longer focusing on the task at hand. And, while I repeat to myself, that social networking {Twitter, Facebook} are essential parts of my business, they definitely don’t define me, my business, or my work ethic.

So I challenge all of you to make a list. Make a list of the things that are distracting you. My list from the other day went a little something like this:

Ava
My iPhone
The barking dog that never stops outside of my office window
Writer’s Block
Nothing to talk about
Emails that need to be responded to

Use those things to make you more productive. In my case, I turned off some notifications on my phone. I use that phone to be more productive when I am on the road – and it works, but I don’t need every tiny notification. And while I love my daughter dearly, the days that she is home with me, I am not nearly as productive as the days that she is with a sitter, so I stopped working so much on those days. Those, are family days {or Mom & Ava} days. While I think all the time that I have a boring life, writer’s block, and nothing to blog – when have I ever been at a loss for words, and I hear from a lot of my blog readers that you like it when I share my personal life. No excuses – I can make that change too.

What are the things that are making you less productive and defining you? Can you make changes to overcome those boundaries?

Happy Friday!

I know. I have heard it from a few people now. I have really been slacking on the blog. Not on purpose. I swear. I have lots to blog about. :)

First … sorry for my long delay. I still owe you all the best of 2009 wedding post. It’s in the works. I also have a few recent sessions to get on the blog. Truth be told, I have been busy with a lot of stuff behind the scenes. I am SUPER excited that StudioWed Denver opened yesterday! I am thrilled to be part of such an amazing group of vendors. For those of you who have meetings scheduled in the coming weeks … we will be seeing you and showing you ‘the goods’ there

Secondly – we have been battling the ickies here. The little one got sick a few weeks ago with an ear infection that hasn’t seemed to go away. Or, it went away for a few days and came back with avengence on Sunday. So, that has also been occupying some time.

Third … a few words about house cleaning. You will notice some new additions to the site! Take a look around and let us know what you think.

And finally … I PROMISE that there are lots of posts coming. Stay tuned. I am going to try to stick with my New Years resolution and blog at least 2-3 times a week. For those of you that don’t blog regularly, blogging is quite a task There’s a lot more that goes in to it than meets the eye. It’s really no excuse, I’m just sayin’

Because everything is better with a picture … here is a quick image from our Best of Weddings 2009 post. Ashley and Scott’s wedding at Rembrandt Yard in Boulder.
