Five Year Plan : 40% Done

1. Photography
   • Take more photos
   • Put the good ones in the portfolio site
   • Work on a couple of projects/themes
     Started the work on a couple of projects, and seeing how they go
   • Possibly do a redesign of the portfolio site to fit in more with ‘brand ‘image’
     Couldn’t be chuffed with this one in the end, although I’m still thinking about it
   • Submit portfolio site and photos to various interested parties
   • Possibly make more use of Flickr, although that one’s a bit of a “don’t know”
     And really haven’t done this either, as I’ve been using the portfolio site instead
   • Pull more attention to the portfolio site
     Again, working on it
2. Business
   • Redesign/redevelop business website with a CMS etc.
   • Look at sorting out a proper business bank account
   • Keep generating new work
     As always, an ongoing process – but working fairly well so far, allbeit not having generated as much as I should have done
   • Continue with current work and clients
     Again, an ongoing process
   • Get new contract – the one with the current place will definitely expire in ’08, due to tax/IR35 reasons
     I haven’t had any long-term contracts, but plenty of shorter-term ones, and now the new permanent role…
   • Work on developing new sites and business ideas
   • Minimise outgoings, increase incoming money
     Nice idea, but not all that successful due to rising costs (particularly of petrol)
3. Writing
   • Realistically? Get one solid idea written and done, if only for the head-space
     Admittedly, ‘only’ a short screenplay for a film of about 10-15 minutes, but still, completed and done, except for small ongoing edits
   • Optimistically? Get two solid ideas written and done.
     Working on the second one (and a third, to be honest), but not completed
4. House stuff
   • House alterations
     • Bathroom
     • Kitchen extension/upgrade
       Postponed for foreseeable future
     • Extra Item : Cavity Wall Insulation
     • Extra Item : Loft Insulation
       Postponed ’til ’09, due to a nightmare of work involved
   • Garden alterations/work
     • Veg patch
     • Front garden/driveway
       Semi-complete
     • Main lawn etc.
       Semi-complete
     • Borders, beds, blah blah
