Monday

Monday.

We love to hate Mondays.

I must admit: I’ve been struggling with the idea of going back, full steam ahead after a slower month and some time away.

And yet, I know Mondays—and the billable hour—await me.

I slipped a little on my billable goals (and requirement) last month.

But: that’s okay.

I have six more months in my associate year to course correct and get back to it.

This month has a lot of work days: 20, plus two half days (for the holidays), for a total of 21 days.

My new monthly goal is 166.2 hours.

So, on full days, I’ll shoot for 8 billable hours.

On half days, my goal will be 4 billable hours.

I’ll adjust each day and week as I miss, meet, or exceed the day’s goal.

And, by the end of January, I’ll be good as gold.
