Last week was a little better than the week before, which gives me hope. I'm feeling a little more motivated today and I think it's going to help with this week.
Last week's goals progress were as follows:
Writing
Last week was pretty good on the writing front. I wrote three days in a row, and while I missed Friday and the weekend, I'm okay with that because of how much was going on those days. I've also been very active on my blog and on my author Instagram, partially because I decided to start channeling my politics focus where it was relevant, but I'm pleased with the results.
Decluttering and Organization
One of the things that kept me from writing over the weekend also helped motivate me to work on a small decluttering and organization project: My mom spent the night Saturday night to celebrate her birthday, which was Friday. That meant that I had to clean up the downstairs bathroom for her use. I haven't been using that bathroom much since Izzy died, since we had set it up for her care, so this was actually a big accomplishment for me.
I also got some minor things done last night, just by keeping moving once I was already in motion. It sounds silly, but I had something that I absolutely had to do, and once I was in that mode, I just pushed myself to get several other things done, and it worked!

No progress here, unfortunately, but I have hope for this week!
Lessons Learned
I'm not sure why I feel different about last week or this coming week, but I think it has a little to do with goals, inspiration, and good ol' dopamine kicks from getting stuff done. It felt good to accomplish some things over the weekend, and that was part of it. But also, I found an external factor (my mom's visit) to motivate me and made use of that.
This week I have a new project I want to start working on, and I'm hoping that will help me maintain motivation throughout what promises to be a busy week.
