Feel the Rhythm

dolphins_logToday was intense. Days when I have to put payroll together always are. This was particularly intense in that I had to make a quick/dirty mold to see if a new model would work. A quick/dirty mold is a mold that is not meant for production and where beauty counts for didly.
I also needed to get the first newsletter out, that being one of my goals.
In order for all of that to come together I had to get a rhythm going. The plaster takes about 40 minutes to set hard enough to carve During that forty minutes I had to get the calculations done on Payroll, get all of the hard copy documents set, run the checks, field questions about a new hire, edit the news letter, scan and print workbook material for the new hire [the photo copier is permanently dead]... see where this is going?
The rhythm required an intense focus and a timer. The timer would tell me when to stop one project and go tend the mold. Otherwise I'd get in my creative zone and lose track of time.
Well... The end result was I got the mold done and everyone got paid. The newsletter however... Well... I got most of the copies printed [high resolution = slow printing] when I discovered a typo. So the newsletter goes out tomorrow. That's okay though. It'll be right.
But after a day of such intense focus, I'm a little drained. That happens when your "on" for the entire day.
