I did a little better with my productivity last week, compared to the week before. I got a little more done than the previous week, although my time was limited as I'd expected. (I also stayed up late almost every night to read, finishing multiple books over the course of the week, which didn't help my morning productivity any.)
As planned, I prioritized cleaning and organizing. I made a lot of progress, but unfortunately it's not really quantifiable progress, and I'm not done yet, so it's hard to feel like I accomplished enough last week. I can, however, say that I spend a whole eight hours on it, and I can see the improvements, so I guess that's something. I do still have a lot more I want to do this coming week, however.
There's one other thing I've been spending a lot of weekend time on, which is displacing other work-type activities that would normally overflow into the weekends: I've been cleaning up and organizing my tack locker at the barn. Last weekend I cleaned and reorganized all of my grooming supplies and tack and took down all the hooks in the locker in preparation for reorganizing everything. This weekend I mounted saddle racks in the locker, and this week I'm planning on mounting a shelf and new hooks. I've had the help of my leaser and her two daughters, who were earning some rides on my horses by helping with the project. (Last weekend they washed all of my brushes and buckets, and this weekend they field washed my horses' blankets so I can repair them and put them away until winter; next weekend they're going to help with tacking cleaning and oiling.)
It's not necessarily working toward my primarily and professional goals, but it's still a goal I've had that was largely forgotten when my horse was sick and needed so much attention last year, so I'm glad to be working on it.
As for my primary goals, though, here's the rundown:
Doll stringing ebook: This didn't happen again, but I have it rescheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. If I can finish the reorganization of my primarily doll repair and photography spaces today, I'll be able to take the pictures I need for the ebook, and after that I just need to revise the instructions and put a few other finishing touches on it.
Ruby Ransome: I deferred this a week until August 1st, but that's tomorrow. I'm using the evening time where I would normally plan to work on my novel as cleaning and organization overflow, in case this afternoon doesn't go as planned.
Blogging and website maintenance: I didn't do too badly on this last week, as I got some blogging done and some updates on Instagram. I have more to do this coming week, but again, a good portion of it hinges on getting my cleaning and organization done, as those are my photography and filming spaces.
Other projects: I got a fair amount done on my cleaning and organization project this week, but I still have more to do this week. Most of it is scheduled for later today, so that I can take pictures and video later in the week, including pictures for the ebook. I'm also planning to work on my doll room organization a little, so that ultimately I can start photographing and listing my extra inventory for sale again.
It's likely to be a very full week, but hopefully I can accomplish what I need to do. The cleaning and organization in particular is very important, since that needs to be done before I can move on to a variety of other things.
