On December 30, the last working day of the year, I spent a couple of hours clearing my office room and old maps.
I decided to clear a pile of maps (there were three old piles). The papers were dated 2006, the year I started as a debate editor for Sigtunabygden.
On each map, there was a post-it paper where I listed down news articles that were inside the map. There was one map per week, and every week I did a minimum of four news articles, but an average of seven to eight news articles. And of course, I took the photos.
Funny - because that was all I did on my first year. Took care of three pages of debate articles plus some eight news articles and photos.
In 2010 - I write all the culture articles for two culture pages plus photos. And since we lost all our graphic designers (due to recession and lay-off); I also take care of making my photos look great. I decide how the pages will look like - and work on it. Plus I publish the articles in our homepage. On mondays, I even help to edit the other pages - whether news, or sport or debate articles. And not to mention that I also find time (once in a while) to write news reports.
Now wonder I got burned out early this year.
But at the same time, I feel like wow, I learned a lot during in these past few years...
