Dreams of leaving

desperanceLast night I dreamed I lost my credit card again - only this time the last place I had it was the bank's own restaurant, attached.
I think this is a brilliant idea, the ultimate of capitalist enterprise: you pay your money in, you spend it out, it never has to leave the building. Like a company store, but more so. Why do they not do this?
In other news, I am learning not to look on myself as single-minded, someone who can work on only one thing at once. Most of my working life, that's how I worked, I thought it was the definition of my process and I kind of regret that now; if I'd worked then the way I work now, I coulda done so much more...
But anyway: yesterday I worked on three different projects, morning, afternoon and evening, and had increasing fun with each of them. Which is obviously the ideal, but it leaves me with a quandary this morning. The evening project is the most imperative, new material for the Gingersmith proposal; the sooner that is with my agents, the sooner they can prospect for a deal. There is obviously a temptation just to work on that until it's done. He'll have fun, fun, fun till his agents take the proposal away.
But I am known to need bribes & inveiglements, to get me through the working day. A process of increasing reward is kind of ideal: do the less fun first, Chaz, and let the prospect of pleasure draw you onward. Fix your eyes on the distant horizon. Etc.
So, yup. Quandary. Which I kind of need to resolve right now, as this is the start of the working day...
