My one goal last week was to work on minimizing distractions. Honestly, I don't know how I did at that. I feel like by the end of the week, I had completely forgotten about that goal.
One thing I tried to focus on last week though was the importance of things that inherently aren't productive. My mom visited on Tuesday, and we went to lunch and spent the afternoon together. On Wednesday I rode and then we went to a concert with Zac's mom and sister. So both days were highly unproductive, but spending time with family is valuable in other ways.
Thursday I got a lot of writing done on my novel, making up for multiple days of not writing, but then the weekend was so busy I never got anything more done on it. On Friday I volunteered at the museum, and on both Saturday and Sunday I had friends bring their kids to ride my horses. It was an exhausting weekend, but rescheduling wasn't an option in either case, so I sucked it up and did it.
This week I want to remind myself of my major long term goals:
- To keep working on my novels, publish, and develop my career as an author
- To clean up my house and make the doll spaces more usable
- To get back to working on dolls, both my own and my clients'
I have gotten off track from these long term goals quite a bit, so my goals for the week are pretty simple:
- Work on minimizing distractions
- Get back on track with my long term goals
Getting distracted is a pretty major problem for me and I'd like to find a way to combat it, whether it's by learning the will power to ignore things like Facebook, or by finding some tools to help me. And I feel like I need to start working on getting back on track just in general. I did make some headway last week with a few little tasks like responding to emails I'd been putting off for some time, but this week I need to get back to writing regularly and also start working on doll stuff again.
It should be a less hectic week, though, so hopefully things will settle down enough that I can get a handle on my goals again.
