Bit Off More Than I Can Chew

As it usually works out, I (thankfully) received several new assignments this week.
Of course, it's the week I have a short one thanks to being invited to speak at SPJ's Region 7 Conference in St. Louis this weekend. I scheduled lunch with a friend on the way into the conference tomorrow, which means I have to leave early in the morning. Then I took on way too much work this week. I'll probably be up until midnight tonight working on my presentation for the conference.
Since many of the people I will be speaking to will be writers contemplating going into, or new to the freelance life, maybe my whole topic should center around time management.
