Being in the Studio.

'Meet Your Project' is a tool I'm picking up over and over lately. It just seems to yield so much, so quickly.

This is part of it.

Last week's why-not: timelining.

On March 30, Facebook was scheduled to change all pages to the timeline format.

That was last Friday.

So, Wednesday I was wondering:

Setting the bar low.

Last week, you might recall, I wasn't sure how I was going to fit Secret Play Date into my day.

I was scheduled for a little procedure of the medical variety.

You know how these things can be: hurry up and wait.

Amazing scientific discovery.

You'll be interested to learn that I've discovered the secret to expanding and contracting time.

It's called the internet.

You may have heard of it.

'Think I'll take a break in this air-less, whirlpool-like space.'

See, I've been trying to spend less time online because it's just so draining.

5-minute layer cake.

There's a Whole Foods near my husband's office and often he stops there on the way home. Apparently there's a large bakery section, with single servings of whatever.

Brownie.

Napoleon.

Lemon tart.

And Slice of Cake.

Not Slice of Chocolate Cake.

Not Slice of Strawberry Short Cake.

Just ... Slice of Cake.

Which never fails to crack us up.

I've been playing with the idea of hiring a VA.

Not because I need one right now.

I don't. And I won't be hiring one right now.

But because the idea of hiring a VA scares me.

That fear tells me -- ding, ding, ding! -- this is an idea worth exploring.

It's not the thought of handing over responsibility for certain things, trusting someone new.

It's about ... oh, why don't I let that particular monster speak for himself?

What I've learned about me and Secret Play Date so far:

If I hadn't made the commitment to have a Secret Play Date with you right here every Tuesday, I probably wouldn't be Play-Dating.

What?!

Secret Play Date is magical!

But I wouldn't be Play-Dating on my own, because without that commitment, it's too easy to say, 'not now, I have other work to do;'

'Not now, I'll have time tomorrow.'
