I’m back to working 6 days a week, and today I’m sitting in my favorite coffee shop (picture at right), working on a handful of projects. The variation of this list is a good indication of the range of work that I do. All the tasks on this list come from my regular clients, who keep a running list of To Dos and things I can work on whenever I have time.

• Press releases for a pediatrician’s books, special engagements and awards (3 hours today)
• An article about security issues for online elections (1 hour today)
• Website copy for a company that does online job boards (1 hour today)
• Blog entries for a Web 2.0 technology that does group collaboration (1 hour today)
• A website for a property rental company (1 hour today)

I’ve also got a number of things to finish up for my own business, including:

• Asking for testimonials from speaking engagements I had earlier this year
• Billing clients for this and that
• Writing an article on wikis for my next newsletter

I’ve been at it since around 7 a.m. or so. I finished one press release, called my mom for Mother’s Day, registered for the America’s Finest City Half Marathon and checked in with my sister. Doing the math, I have 6 solid hours of billable work that I need to complete today, and it’s 9:30 a.m. now. Guess I better get another cup of coffee.

PS — Yesterday’s 20-mile run was WITCH. Next stop: 26.2 on June 1!
