Accountability

Why oh why is this hard to master? I’m trying. Hi there again my lovelies! It is a wonderfully gloomy day today and I’m eager to get started with my day. I have no idea why because I don’t know where to begin.

I have a million things to do and a small window to do it in even though I have at least 8 hours to do it in. And until I can get my lovely readers (that’s you) to help keep me on top of my tasks, I’m it! Yesterday I worked on some things for my Etsy shop. So that was a good start. Today the plan is to try and get as far with it as possible. I’m currently working on a Pumpkin Gender Reveal invitation. What?! Have you heard of this? Well apparently it’s a thing. But only if I could just snap my fingers and have it readily available. Only if.

For me it’s not quite that simple because everything I do for my Etsy shop is aaallll me. I create all the drawings and do all the set up that’s required...creating the listing, placing the photos, coming up with tags (that work) and did I mention coming up with the drawing. The best part of it all which can also be the most stressful because you never know if you’re going in the right direction. So far everything that I have created has sold. I won’t say like hotcakes but just enough to give me the courage to go forward with my thousandaire goals.

But yeah…that’s the plan for today. To get as far on what I have promised myself to do. Great…fantastic so what’s the problem Tania? Problem is, I’ll look up halfway through my day and say…I should have worked on this and I shoulda worked on that instead of this. The anxiety will shoot sky high and I’ll pout for 10 minutes. But all we can do is put one foot in front of the other right? And hope that when you look back you will have accomplished more than you thought. Which is always a wonderful feeling even on a rainy, gloomy day.

What are the million things you need to work on? How will you narrow them down and what did you decide to do? Lastly, how do you hold yourself accountable? I have a phone app that I list things on. I feel good when I check them off. Feel overwhelmed when I don’t get to everything but there’s always tomorrow, right? Right? Just nod your head and quietly back away. Hmm…think I’ll make some tea today. Ta ta for now!
