I have a cold.

So I have a lot of time, lying in my bed and thinking about the things to come, the things I had planned. Everything has been on schedule up to now to start with 1000ppp on April. But suddenly it struck me like lightning. My plan has absolutely no room for failure, there is no time for beeing sick, no time for another hour of sleep and no time for any more hour for my daytimejob. But these things happen, as I learned right now with that dreadful cold.

I have to adjust my plan to cover these things and fit in some more. I totally left out social life, planning and preparations for trips and buffers for all other kind of things.

If I adjust the desired productivity ratio to 1/3rd, that would leave me with 10 publishable images a month - this alone is hard enough to achive, but it seems much more manageable than 30. This also fits nicely with the other math - a hundred cities and a thousand images equals 10 images per city. This means exactly one trip per month. I could separate the month - one half for taking images and scouting - and the other half for postproduction at my homebase and for planning the next trip.

The only catch would be the end date - it would have to be postponed to 2019 - I am curious if I have that long a breath! So stay with me and lets make it happen!
