Yes, today was one of those days.

I had something that needed to get done. As in the “it must be done for tomorrow” sort of done.

You see, tomorrow I’ll be presenting  “Navigating the LinkedIn Landscape” at the Social Media Marketing Workshop at Blankspaces and I needed to finalize my handout.

Now mind you, I’ve talked about LinkedIn to many different groups.  In fact, it was the focus of this past weeks’ Beyond Social Media Basics call this week.  It’s not like I needed to think long and hard about creating something.

Sadly, I think that was my downfall.

Instead of sitting down and pounding it out in an hour or so, I puttered away the ENTIRE day doing the following (in no particular order):

• Facebook updates
• Watched this week’s Psych episode
• Made lunch for my husband
• Went shopping for missing lunch ingredients
• Washed my car
• Gassed up my car
• Chatted up the cat
• Played with the dog
• Cleaned the bathroom (scrubbing the toilet included)
• Watched some videos on YouTube
• Listened to some music
• More Facebook updates
• Sent emails
• Read emails
• Read a magazine a bit
• Read some articles online
• Did an exercise in productivity (of all things) for my Uplevel Your Business class that starts next week (ironic much?)
• Lamented a typo in one of my SuccessForSolopreneurs FB updates
• Talked a friend through updating her FB privacy settings for their Places app
• Wrote a step-by-step outline for a current FB campaign that a friend’s team wasn’t doing correctly
• Drank a lot of water
• Ate too many cookies (that I won earlier this week from Maria’s Italian Kitchen)

And I’m sure there’s whole lot more that I forget (but I refuse to spend the time trying to remember).

Did I get my handout done?

Kinda.

My copy is written.  After dinner, I’ll come home and create the actual handout version and print it off.

Basically…it’s mostly done.  But now, it’s time to head out for dinner.
