Petra I have my boys out clearing ice off my driveway for the second attempt today (at least the sun is out) so this makes me profoundly jealous.

    Thanks, everybody! :-))))))))

    Bad couple of days. My MS Office setup is messed up.

    The win: We had bright sunshine, and I hope it lasts.

    With the ice gone, I have resumed picking up cigarette stubs (and litter) off the pavement in my vicinity and disposing of them properly. I re-read New Hart's Rules (Do contractions take full points?) and started on a David Ignatius thriller. I spent more money on connects than previously, and made some donations to charity with money saved from not using the car and various electrical appliances. And I decided to learn how to publish ebooks in order to offer a full service to clients. And I reassured myself that small wins are fine as long as you keep striving for the bigger stuff.
    Oh, and: Happy Birthday, Kelly! 2025 will be better. I just know it. (My 2024 was ****, too.)

    Vladimir first week started with a very positive note for me. I had the highest billing week for me in my Upwork carrier. Looking forward to an extraordinary 2025

      Vladimir I'm excited to hear/see the Community talk recording! Sorry I'm a little late to this but my win came in late on Friday, but it still came! I had two Upwork clients come back to me with more work (BOTH late on Friday). It's been a quiet few weeks with them because of the holidays, but we are back in business!

      I'm loving reading all of these wins!

          So far this year I haven't felt very motivated to do much of anything, so I've already worked up a substantial backlog of work I need to get done. On the bright side, I did manage my New Year resolution of taking 2 days off.

          Since I didn't get much billable work done, I did some admin work instead. And I closed all my inactive contracts on Upwork. One of my clients left feedback, so I count that as a win. "Eve is a real igaming pro. She understands the industry extremely well and operates at an extremely high level. You can give her an objective and she'll figure out how to make it happen. Will hire again. Thank you Eve!"

          All in all, 2025 isn't so bad. Hopefully I'll be a bit more productive next week.

          No weekly wins for me. I did however started binge watching Stargate Atlantis and halfway there. When I think about it, that's a win and an awesome one!

            Djole That's it!! Take the wins where they are even if they're not quite what we had in mind. For me, reviewing with a mindset to uncover good parts of this week was a win in itself!

              JessicaKay Congratulations! I agree reading about good stuff makes the day awesome. Guys we still have 50 more chapters in the book of 2025, we just got started. Stay positive and keep sharpening your skills (or acquire new skills)

                This week seems to be going amazing for me. Some wins (and future wins)

                • Renewed my PL-600 (Microsoft Power Platform - Solution Architect) certification.
                • Had great meeting with @Vladimir @JessicaKay in the AMA Community Talk #2
                • One of my previous client reached out to me for new assignment.
                • I am going to run Tata Mumbai Marathon 2025 in the weekend :)

                How's the Week#3 treating you all

                A full marathon? Wow, congrats.
