It's Monday morning. Time for status reports, calendar updates, making the plan for the week. I'm still getting used to the different rhythms of this kind of work. I have to adapt to the rules of multiple clients, yet also get the things that I want or need done. It's very different from the rhythm of working for one employer. In that mode you're in synch with 100s or 1000s of other people, all with the same meta-deadlines and events. You just roll with the big waves. In the indy consultant mode you have to sample the waves more often, a couple of times a week, just to get a feel for what's needed in the short term. Point is, there is no long term in this mode. 8:19:18 AM
