I'm feeling that as Christmas creeps up people are definitely distracted, that's for sure. That, and pockets are tighter and they don't want to pay your rates...

Clients all seem to be on vacation. My un-air conditioned appartment gets WAY too hot to work in between the hours of 12 – 6 - turning my brain to mush and pushing my G5's computer fans to the limit. And living walking distance to a sun drenched beach doesn't help either :) Fall is upon us ... back to work! I get the least done in summer. Clients all seem to be on vacation.

December was dead as can be for me last year. My summer has been surprisingly busy, but I’d have to agree it’s generally the Fall and Spring that keep me busiest.

I've been thinking a lot about seasons too and whether it's ever the right time for something. "Spring is hard to get a hold people, you know." "Nothing ever gets done in the summer, everyone is on vacation," etc. I, myself, however am most productive in the spring and fall - transition times. This is interesting.
