La Bene Vita

Monday

Reach 300 students by 12/31/11:
* Develop a Q1 promotion & ad plan by 1/7: No activity, although one of our teachers has a private studio, meaning he teaches a handful of students at home. He just decided he's tired of dealing with scheduling and make-ups, and he's steering them to us. Meanwhile, we're about to be bombarded in two or three weeks by enrollments out of our samplers. We'll be hiring another teacher and computer lab attendants very soon. I also created an assistant manager position, but I can't say much about that until 2/4.
* Develop a summer program plan by Spring Break: Meeting 2/4.
* Business Cards: No activity.
* Vocal warm-ups CD - Stuck in the middle of progress somewhere.

Customized database by 12/31/11: Design web page interface for potential form.
Pending.

Potbelly: : Add one repertoire song per week
Pending, but I'm pretty happy with "Don't Know Why" and considering reprinting some older stuff to get myself out of a rut.

Messiah: Meet one TBD goal per month:
I have two new songs selected. We'll start going over them next week, because this week is the sound system overhaul, and I just know a new song will be one too many things going on Saturday.

Reading: One book per week.
  I finished "The Time Machine" in the nick of time, at about 11:30 last night. I do see why it's a classic. The title fools you into thinking you're reading science fiction, when really, the book glosses over the details of the time travel and the actual machine (for example: How is it powered? How does the dial know what year it is?) and comments rather about the inevitable fall of man. Next up: A Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Writing: Goals TBD: Set goals.
(1) Blog at WDC daily. I missed Saturday and Sunday.

(2) Blog at MT.com   weekly. OVERDUE and FOUR PENDING.

Count points: TOTAL POINTS YESTERDAY: ?
I am embarrassed to say I lost count since Friday. It all started Friday, when my percussion instructor didn't show up for his lessons and new class. So I was frantically putting together the class curriculum, when the office manager reminded me that I had a double voice lesson (a make-up) to teach. I had another teacher there, and he jumped in to help, so we had minimal interruption that our clients could perceive. Nonetheless, it was a stressful situation. Then Saturday morning, two teachers were late.

By Saturday afternoon, I was done teaching for the weekend, but still had this week's sound system overhaul at church to plan, 1099's to figure out (OMG! the IRS is so antiquated regarding these), plus all three worship services to help out with Sunday morning. By Sunday afternoon, I was taking a three-hour nap.

All in all, I ate a lot this weekend.
