projects
Quarterly and annual goals are ongoing projects that you take the lead on completing. These are the biggest and most important non-client work items that you work on throughout the year.
One-off projects and assignments vary in size, time required and scope. You're in charge of getting clear on how much time these assignments take and setting appropriate deadlines.

The following schedule has suggested items for each week, but it isn't suggesting doing ALL of these items each day. Some of these items are only applicable on weeks in which you had a wedding the weekend prior. Some of these items will be periodic. Some of these items are seasonal and can be done in "batch." You can also structure your week however you'd like!
