Working During Down Time

Yesterday, I didn't get to my writing because I've been so much on the grind.  Got a rejection from a place I applied to last week (add to my growing pile), so I've been inspired to get a little work done.

The way I see it, you work when everyone else is taking a break.  Remember when you had a full time job and sometimes you'd come in on that day most people were taking off just to finish up that last minute this or that?  I'm taking the same approach. It's also how big businesses do it stay ahead, by buying when no one else is and selling when things are going well.  If all the jobseekers are taking a day off, you and I, my friends, should be submitting a little something to them. 

Got up this morning and went to my office (I haven't gotten dressed just yet) but I opened up my CapsuleCRM (www.capsulecrm.com) account and set some goals.  CapsuleCRM is an awesome project management system that helps you keep track of what you're doing, which I love!  I can see the big list and I get a very satisfying check in it.  You can also add contacts and upload relevant emails to "file" the different subjects.

So plan for this afternoon, Tuesday, to do some work this afternoon - say from 1-4.  Then do the same tomorrow, Wednesday - get up by 8, be in your seat by 9 and get a few applications in by noon.  Don't forget about me - when you check back, I'll even have a few contacts for you.

Good luck and happy applying!
