...to so many things. Counting down to the conference towards the end of July. Counting down towards the big million which will be happening right on our doorstep (and I really do mean actual doorstep). Most importantly, counting down to my submission deadline.

With that in mind, I'm stepping things up and really getting my head down. I have drawn up action plans. Short term, long term, work, admin, all sorts. It's going to be a very busy few months. My wife is being a big help, encouraging and supporting me, and I appreciate everything she does for me very much. With her help I know I can do it.

One option I have is to make my plan, my timetable public; to write here what it is I am supposed to be doing and when. This will make me accountable. It's one thing to make excuses to yourself about why you haven't completed a certain task but it's another thing to explain to the thousands [sic] of readers you have.

We'll see.
