February 2023 was a month mostly devoted to rebranding and redeveloping my websites. Not that there’s been a great deal to see on this site.
Some of it was even on my Kanban boards.
Highlights from February 2023
I admit having to give up on the novella challenge was hard, and I moped for a good part of the month.
Leastways until I started working on the branding, designing logos, looking at colour palettes, typography and thinking what I want visitors to feel.
Plus, I read a lot – up to 24 of my 100 book reading goal, and 6 books ahead of schedule!
• Kinfolk Travel • The Lean Startup • Novelist as a Vocation • A Stitch in Time • Peace • Grass • Japanese Style at Home • The Personal MBA • A Knight in Shining Armor • Company of One • Ballgowns & Butterflies • L’art de la Liste • At Home in Japan •
And don’t forget you can get my ebooks at 50% off Smashwords until midnight 11 March pacific time.
Goals
| Goals | SCORE | NOTES |
| Finish some of my long-term outstanding items. | 4.35% | I started with 23 sticky notes on the board, with one completed. |
| Rebrand my businesses. | 15.79% | 19 sticky notes, but I know there are more to add as time goes by. Currenlty working on 2, with 3 completed. |
| Consolidate the online stores. | 12.82% | 78 tasks, though again, I know there’s more coming as I fninsh my back log of stories. Some of it requires reformatting the existing books. |
| Revitalise the websites. | 0.00% | Haven’t fully quantified this as some of it is waiting on the brading, and some comes our of consolidating the stores. |
The kanban is, more or less, a really long to-do list.
As I progressed through February 2023, I found myself demotivated by the length of the list, so now I’m thinking I may have to hide some of them, or just work through one of the projects until it’s done.
How did you get on over February 2023?
