One Hour Per Day

I've started reading a pretty good book. It's called Kiss Guide to Organizing your Life by Dr. Donald Wetmore. It's pretty interesting and there was something that really struck me so I'm going to share it with you.

He talks about continuing to learn and ways to find time to learn. He stated that in the next 3-5 years a person could master a foreign language, write a great book, develop and become an expert at a new hobby or develop your own part-time business. Anyone can do this if they use 1 hour a day towards what they want to learn.

There are several things that I would like to accomplish. I would like to write an instructional series on how to teach children photography. I would like to write and photograph a book about Hampton Roads. I would like to write a parenting book based off my experiences as a case manager and my own experience as a parent. I want to fully develop Smile Shoot Print, which is our photography business. I want to write a guide on case management and further my skills as a case manager. I want to flesh out my online shops for design.

This sounds like quite a bit but it can be broken down into 4 categories: photography, design, parenting and case management.

I am going to use this blog to track where I'm using my one hour a day to further these goals.

1. Book: Teaching children photography.
2. Book: Scenic History of Hampton Roads
3. Book: parenting book
4. Book: Tips for case managers
5. Business: Smile Shoot Print
6. Online Shops: Spencer Photos, Izzy Bella's Kid Shop, Posh Decor and Lippy Girl
