So, 6 weeks. That’s a long time. Long enough for one to get something accomplished during the hours that one previously might have been blogging, right? Something?
Anything???
Oh yeah, you betcha, yessiree. I was a veritable household-project maven while I was away. Trouble is I can’t actually give you even a glimpse of my 40-day masterpiece. I can only tell you it starts with the word “2010” and ends with the word “taxes.”
Turns out that using all one’s energy to trudge through a crappy 2010 can somewhat distract one from other also-important things like, say, the semi-efficient tracking, recording, and categorizing of one’s yearly expenses. If one is self-employed, this can become an even more complex (and critical!) dilemma.
And, thus, a 40-day break from blogging leaves just about the right amount of time to catch up on all such tasks. Yay.
The good news is that my accountant and I got all that math and business stuff squared away. My accountant, very similar to those on WizzAccounting.co.uk, was able to weed through all of my outgoings and expenses and get my books in order. They were a lot messier than I had initially thought! The other news is that any projects I happened to accomplish in addition to financial matters were very, very little. But having a professional to help with my taxes has been extremely invaluable because going it alone can be pretty scary. If you too are self-employed then checking out accountants who can do taxes for freelancers/self-employed people/sole traders, whatever you may call them, is crucial to the running of your business.
Just the way I like them.
Stay tuned for a few other little things that have been happening around R-house, including my new One-Thing cleaning technique.
Later!
