2025 Weekly Challenge, Week 7: Overcoming Difficulties

It's been a rough few weeks, but I finally feel like I'm starting to make progress.  I'm still feeling like I'm struggling with the political climate, but I'm clawing my way out of the hyper-fixation hole I had dug for myself.  I still need to figure out how to do balance attentiveness to the situation without letting it consume me, but I'm getting there.

Amusingly, I realized I was such a mess last week that I numbered the week wrong, calling it week 5 instead of week 6.  That has been corrected in the post now, although the URL is sadly stuck as a second week 5.

One thing I worked on a lot last week that won't count toward one of my goals, even though it contributes, is switching over my task and calendar system to a new app.  I wanted to move away from Google products after they ousted their DEI programs and jettisoned holidays such as Black History Month, Women's History Month, and Pride from their calendar.  I'll write more about that soon as I think others will find the new apps I've found very helpful as well.

Writing

I worked on my novel three days instead of one, wrote a couple of blog posts, and posted to my author IG a couple of times.  I still want to get to the point where I'm working on my writing nearly every day again, but this is still an improvement and I'm pleased.

I didn't count it as working on my novel, but I also worked on that writing, revising, and publication schedule I set up recently, refining it and getting it switched over to my new task tracking system.

Decluttering and Organization

I didn't get anything done in this category, unfortunately.

Dolls

Nothing accomplished here either.

Lessons Learned

I didn't improve across the board, but I'm pleased with the progress I did make.  I feel like even small progress should be celebrated here, and hopefully I will do better in this coming week.  I'm also looking forward to exploring some of these new, non-Google tools, which I will blog about soon!
