That’s right. I hardly got any of my own work done at all. This is mostly because I received the summons to go to hospital for a long-awaited procedure, and all of the a sudden the month was re-jigged.
My first priority was to make sure that all of my paid clients had their work back to them before I went in. I’m very proud to say that I did this, invoices and all.
The rest of the month, when I wasn’t doing client work early, was spent having pre-op assessments, pre-op Covid swabs, the surgery itself, and, of course, the post-op recovery.
So, I’m not beating myself up. I’m simply vowing that June will be better.
Over to you …
… how did your May go?
