Don't get it. But do get the wanting to put off things you don't want to do. But money? I always want the money to come in. Not invoicing when there are invoices to do? Don’t get it.

But money? I always want the money to come in.

When I tell people it has its challenges, or even allude to being sometimes overwhelmed, I get the blank stare...as if I were crazy. Or sometimes, I don't even get that. I get the, "Yeah, but it must be so NICE, otherwise!" Which is a long way of saying, I hear you loud and clear! One thing I have found is that getting a few larger projects lined up (like books) or one or two long-term clients helps smooth out the work flow. And too, it gets easier, over time (the chaos, I mean). Finally, I really can't imagine anything else I'd rather be doing, when it's all going well. Sometimes, remembering that helps, too.
