I have been feeling the weight of learning about software products that may best support me in business. There are a plethora of items out there that people are willing to sell to me or have me try out alluringly for free. I recently tried such a product for setting a schedule for myself and allowing people to book for services. I had a two week trial and was not certain whether it was the right fit for me. I had some clients engaged and an upcoming workshop that was open for folks to register. Well, the trial period ran out and of course all interaction was frozen, people could not sign up. I knew the trial period was ending and thought that what was outstanding would be allowed to run its course. How naive I was! I fell into a default stress coping strategy and just avoided it all. I went to bed fed up with everything in the world and the people in it. I woke to messages from folks who could not access the link and that was the catalyst that led me to enter into a monthly arrangement with the provider. I felt rushed into the arrangement, uncertain if I wanted to make such a commitment. On reflection, I know that I require an automated calendar set up to arrange sessions and workshops. I do not have the time to respond to folks individually and go about setting dates and times. It is easier if they can see my calendar and just book at their leisure. I was satisfied with the features that I was using and found it somewhat easy to navigate . Perhaps I was not rushed at all but just needed a nudge to stay the course and plod on ahead with the business requirements. I do want to dive off the path at times. As steadfastness appeared in all its glory this morning, I know that despite all that is being thrown my way, I am a strong ship in this sea and must stay the course.
