In the approximate order in which they were completed:
- Called my mom 'cause it's her birthday. Yay, Mom!
- Confirmed a radio interview for next week for Singapore: A Biography and drafted some talking points for it. (First time in my life I've drafted talking points for my own use --- it doesn't get any easier.)
- Made loose plans to meet a Lonely Planet writer who'll be in town next week.
- Made loose plans to meet one of my best friends' boyfriends who'll be in town next week too.
- Sent out an email reminder to a rather long list of friends and associates about the upcoming book launch events (which kick off on Sunday at the National Library --- are you gonna be there or what?). Fortunately I didn't break my Gmail doing it.
- Secured a good freelance writing/editing partner for a small job next month that I don't have the time to do on my own (yay for pay copy).
- Turned down another copywriting job that totally doesn't interest me.
- Shilled for the book at the National Education mothership of Singapore.
- Contemplated the niceties of starting a Facebook Fan page for Singapore: A Biography, considering the book is still at the printer's and will only be in bookstores next week (but you can buy it at the National Library event on Sunday).
- Made loose plans to meet a couple of Singapore writers at the opening of the Singapore Writers Festival.
- Emailed some contacts for a Vietnam trip next month.
- Compiled a bunch of information for a government tender and updated a proposal document that one of my collaborators drafted.
- Attempted to do a friend a favour and play around with the new Raffles Alumni website, but there was only so much I could do when it didn't send me my password.
- Daydreamed (although we did this after dinner and via IM) with a good friend about the Really Cool Business we're going to set up --- someday.
- Ignored Ink whining for more food because he's had his full ration for the day.
- Bought more bandwidth for the Singapore: A Biography website (I suspect there's a not quite optimised-for-web image that's doing us in).
- Scratched Sisu's head till she stopped whining at me (after lunch and now, as I'm typing this in bed).
- Avoided finishing that essay I started a few weeks ago.

How do you do it? I can barely get three things done, which includes making a peanut butter sandwich for the energy to do the other two.
And this morning, I'm off to a meeting --- whee!
