How I did it
It made me
in love 
How I did it: I started by putting if off for about 6 months (very important step!). Then tried to commit to writing 5 things a day about myself which also failed miserably. Then one day I sat down to do it and the first 30 items flowed out simply and effortlessly. I was interrupted at that point and had to resume the next day.

I have completed a number of steps already:
1. Set up new site and install template
2. Export portfolio data from old site to import into new site
3. Hire a data wiz to do the conversion of old to new
Today I am going to break the rest of the project into manageable tasks and add them all with due dates to my task list. Right now I just have “convert site to wordpress” which is looming way too heavy and unmovable on top of my task list and did nothing my make me procrastinate. Divide and conquer! And the task for today is to divide it up.
Using Michel Tomas method (I use iphone app but you can use others from his site). It helped me learn conversational French in less than a month last year and I am already making great progress with Italian. Arriving in Italy on the 14th July, I do believe I will be able to hold my own in the conversation. That is when I would consider this goal as “completed” – once I can comfortably converse.
