I would say it’s time to prioritize my projects, but I’m having too much fun. I would say it’s time to focus on one thing and see if I can become successful at that before moving on to the next, but I am honest to God having too much fun. I’m about as happy as Hermione from Harry Potter, pictured above, throwing in a little of this or that in a ho hum sort of way, knowing all the while she’s kickin’ ass. In my case of course, the cauldron would be my life and what’s to become of it when it’s cooked. The ingredients are up to me, and I’ll tell you right now, there’s a lot goin’ in that pot.

Because I consistently yap about all of my different projects over various blog posts without updating you on how they’re all coming along, it’s only natural for you to think I’m not working on them. But let me tell you, I am the most worker on-er of all projects ever worked on. I’m not even spending equal amounts of time on all of them, I’m just working on them all over the place and all the time.

Here’s an update so you know what the AYCH is going on with me lately.

• I’ve written ten pages in my e-book on applying to business school.
• I’ve published two Mursa Pie videos.
• I got my Alexa rank on this blog down to under a million (an SEO thing)
• I finished New Self, New World by Philip Shepherd (I am halfway done with the review for Examiner.com)
• I am working on gathering bloggers to be featured in my Passion Series (Plan A didn’t work out so I’m on to Plan B)

Other projects I’m hoping to get to this week:

• Making progress in my HTML coding class (which ended a couple weeks ago, but I have access to the videos and learning materials forever)
• Writing a few more articles on Examiner and AllVoices
• Making decent headway in the new book I’m reading Eating Smoke.
• Featuring a blogger for my Passion Series
• Reading all of the white papers and e-books I’ve recently downloaded

As I said in the beginning, there’s a lot going on, and perhaps focusing on one project for longer than an hour a night would be of some benefit. But I’m just having too much fun flitting back and forth between all of them. Literally, it’s like going to a buffet and piling all of your favorite foods on your plate. You take a bite out of the pizza, then the burger, then the chow mein, then the mac n’ cheese. You just have to get a bite in from each one because they’re all so tasty. You can’t just eat one at a time!

So that’s what my projects are to me. I can’t just work on the e-book and not the blog. I can’t just work on the blog and not be reading or learning or writing or video editing or thinking of more ideas for the blog at the same time. I like variety! I like pizza! Throw some mac n’ cheese on it while you’re at it! And some mashed taters!

It’s just like Nietzsche said, “Live as though the day were here.” Don’t you think that’s wise?
