In some ways I'm feeling like it's more discouraging tracking this, since I'm seeing how I shift stuff back, week to week to week. In other ways it's helpful because I'm making myself pay more attention to things I do accomplish. It also is helping me to note where I should be balancing my schedule a little better, giving a little more attention to things that bring me immediate income.
If I keep feeling like it's not helpful, I may not continue tracking my weekly activities, but for now I think there's promise, even if I do end up commenting every week how things got shifted back again.
Last week was another rough one, as it was hard to keep everything as planned. I got an unexpected notice that I was getting my software upgrade for my insulin pump, so I had to do the online training and then go through the process of upgrading. That took a lot of time that was originally slated for other things, but of course the pump upgrade was a priority!
Doll stringing ebook: I had shifted this back to this week in order to prioritize income-generating projects, but then didn't get much done on those either. Currently I'm planning on putting in some time on this later this week.
Ruby Ransome: This got shifted back again, unfortunately, and I didn't work on it at all last week. I'm going to try to get going on it this week, since it's the last week before Camp NaNoWriMo. It'll help me to get going for Camp if I familiarize myself with my novel again first.
New novel idea: Still keeping this on the list for later.
Blogging and website maintenance: Once again, I am glad I am tracking this, as a glance at my Toggl report for the week reminds me that the week wasn't totally wasted. I have been keeping up on website and blog updates reasonably well, and working on other content. I do need to look into reapplying for an Amazon affiliate account as I have some new reviews and other similar things to post, and I'd like links for those when I do.
Other projects: I was able to work a little more on reorganizing doll spaces, and I'm realizing that income or not, that needs to be a priority right now. There's not much else I feel I can do until that's done. I have a ton of reselling to do, but until I'm organized, I can't easily find what I want to photograph OR easily set up to photograph any of it. So organizing and cleaning up some of my work areas will be a priority this week.
Unfortunately, it's going to be a difficult week to find time for these things. I'm basically on call while my mom deals with some health things, for one thing; plus we have plans with my husband's family this week. So I've already lost a couple of evenings (which is when I get a lot of stuff done) in addition to the uncertainty of possibly needing to be there for my mom at any time, on short notice. And on top of it all, Friday will be a non-work day due to a doll event going on, and most if not all of this weekend will be taken up with working the NaNoWriMo community table at Fan Expo.
So without further ado, I'd better get to work, since it's going to be tough enough as it is to find time for everything this week.
