Right now in my garden
Time for another reality check! (The last one is to be found here: Gunillocentrism – web diary of a freelance journalist :: April :: 2005)
This is what I’m up to right now:
• planning meetings with editors (new magazines are starting up in Sweden soon, very exciting!)
• organizing new story ideas
• hanging out with friends
• hanging out with myself (in my beautiful garden, for example right now when I am having a breakfast with vanilla yoghurt and whisky- and cinnamon-lingonberry jam and ice coffee!)
• messing with technology, or rather it’s messing with me (my e-mail client Eudora is giving me a very hard time, and also my mobile phone is on strike, the TV set no longer works, and so on) – this is by far the most time-consuming and frustrating activity!
• dish-washing (the second-most time-consuming thing…)
Things I should start doing immdiately, and that I’m at least thinking about:
• finishing articles with an immediate deadline (for example, one on restaurants in Greenland for Gourmet, and one on UN opinions in the USA for FN-förbundet)
• pitching story ideas from Greenland
• organizing my pictures and sound files
• writing a paper on Human Security for the course that I took earlier this summer
• registering at Stockholm University, fetching my passport (the old one expires today) and ten thousand other practical things
• cleaning up a lot and organzing things in my apartment
Also, I’m spending lots of time postponing (and not even thinking about):
• organizing my accounting, including sorting all my receipts
• research for my book on Harlem
