Get to work

Keep lists of story ideas. Include both the simple one-shot stories as well as the bigger projects.
You're the only one doing your stuff, hence you're the only one who remembers how. Once you figure out a skill, document it!
Write down a checklist, step-by-step, of how you finished that project. Having a place to start a new project is invaluable.
Start small. Do a simple locator map. A single bar graph or line chart. Then work your way up. Start with a silly project (like a dog name database, popular baby names over time) so -- if you make a mistake -- you won’t have to worry about getting sued. This helps reduce your stress level as you’re learning the ropes.
