Monthly review: September 2012

Posted on October 17th, 2012 by Sacha Chua

Last month, I wrote:

In September, I’m looking forward to spending time with
my parents, sister, and brother-in-law; sharing lots of sketchnotes
from the Quantified Self Conference; putting together an annual
review; and learning more about mobile development.

It was such a busy month thanks to the trip. I haven’t even gotten around to doing that annual review or organizing the pictures from the trip. I’m already halfway through October!

What will October look like? I took a month-long break from consulting in September, so I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and helping my clients get ready for the next major milestones. There are quite a few events in October, so I’ll be getting lots of sketchnoting practice. In terms of skill-building, I want to focus on lettering and typography. I’d like to ramp up my delegation so that I can get more things done, too. I’m also looking forward to gathering the papers for my first business tax return and HST return, wow. =)
