One thing I recently learned whilst cleaning/tidying my space was... When I finish a project, I start a new project... I never clean up or tidy the area. I found a box filled with trays of tools that never got put away after the projects were over. A stack of envelopes that never got thrown out after opening the mail. So lately I've been making a deliberate effort to clean up my mess after each project and not let the stuff pile up to do later... Truthfully, it takes longer to do later because you have to review the pile of stuff, where as if you just took care of it upon project completion, there's no review. So next project, clean up your space before you move to the next and see how satisfying it is to start fresh every project! 💖🌞🌵😷

What helped me was taking care not to promise too much too early. That you have a good week doesn't mean you are back in the flow, it might be (and often was) just a spurt. And then people were expecting what I promised and I felt so bad it hindered my writing even more. So now I just write and not tell anyone and when I am done, they will be happily surprised and that will hopefully make me feel so good that I can dive right into the next story.

I feel like I need 1 giant book to put everything in so it's all in 1 place, lol! The cacti notebook is cool. I love the colours in it. All the best with your writing reboot; I think you got this!

Ideas that held me up for a long time: 1) the idea that I needed to wake up at 5am and write for several hours straight... And 2) Outlining, because people are always talking about discovery writing being inefficient. But I'm not a morning person. I can't write first thing in the morning. My brain is a foggy mess, and caffeine doesn't even help. It might wake me up physically, but I still feel as creative as a tree stump. My best writing times are from 6pm-12am. And outlines are not for me. Not before I write, and not after. My intuition will take care of the structure if I just get out of its way. I write better when I let my intuitive, creative brain have free rein. As soon as I start trying to force whatever I think should be coming next, my creativity shuts down and the writing becomes a slog. It took me many years to admit these things about myself. I kept trying to force myself into other peoples' boxes. It's really freeing to finally be in a place where I am comfortable in my routine.

I do social media as my career and my hack for creating content calendars is having a folder where I put all my social media worthy content for my clients. Then when I go to schedule/plan the month, I have this folder that I’ve added stuff too throughout previous weeks and months to use as a spring board. It also becomes helpful to avoid going on social media too much. Instead of posting something right away I can add it to that folder to be scheduled at a later time

I already said this on the coffee chat video, but all the yes to the book club idea! I love the new EC productivity planner to, but I have no idea how to use it. My Q2 is off to a better start than Q1, which was an abysmal failure. While I was going through your fabulous new P&T videos, I decided I needed to make some decisions and am currently working on my logo with Qamber Designs, talking to editors, and getting ready to research cover artists. I was fine until overwhelm set in when I got back from NYC last week. I burned out my Woo and Empathy strengths while I was there and my Input got overloaded. Now I'm dealing with that overwhelm and I'm doing that whole "Who do I think I am writing a book? No one wants to read anything I have to say." thing and I can feel that one voice in my head getting ready to talk smack and urge me to self-sabotage. Oh! And then my wonderful husband decided he wanted to learn how to make biscotti, so now my house smells like a bakery and there are currently three containers of delicious biscotti sitting on my kitchen counter just taunting me to eat them so they can immediately turn into fat cells and migrate to my thighs. It's not like the man doesn't know I want to lose another 20 lbs, (He really is wonderful though, evil baking aside)...Anyway, that's how my Q2 is going. 🤣 And sorry for the all the run-on sentences, but it felt good to write that out. Clearly, I'm a mess!❤
