Resetting My Goals & Kanban Board for Q2

Рет қаралды 10,781

Күн бұрын

Welcome back to another Kanban Board Reset video and a chat about how my goals came out for Q1 and what I’m changing up for Q2 in my goal-setting.
This is a pretty long one, but I thought it was important this time to talk a little bit about my struggles, along with my accomplishments. This will hopefully show you how important it is to plan in 90 day chunks and review what’s working and what isn’t. It’s really helpful in realizing what’s not working and helping to make some changes before things go too far.
So, grab some coffee or your favorite tea and let’s hang out!

I so admire your vulnerability. It's so helpful to hear other authors dealing with things that I struggle with. After 17 years I was let go from my job last month and it was a huge shock. My husband (who is awesome) told me that I could stay home and try writing full time. Which is a massive blessing. But I find myself already sabotaging myself. Not writing. Spending too much time on social media. It's a real struggle and I'm so proud of you for your honesty with us. You're right, we all have triggers and issues and it's really important to be honest about those things. I just love you sweetie. Sending virtual hugs from Michigan.

Someone I love very much struggles with that *exact* set of fears regarding the "balance" of good things vs. bad things. My hope for that person is the same as my hope for you: that you would start to feel only satisfaction in the good things, instead of a fear that they will all get taken away. Trauma is a real thief of joy, but good things are truly good, even if trauma tells us they're scary. Thank you so much for sharing.

Narcissism is abuse. It's one of the worst forms of mental abuse out there. It creates a deep-seeded trauma that makes you want to blame yourself for. Girl, I've been there (and still am. My father and my grandmother are narcissists. Indirect psychological trauma is their MO. Every day is a battle when you're trying to retrain your brain to overcome that abuse. Don't ever apologize for it.

The amount of what I'm dealing with in your 'struggles from Q1' section hit home sooooooo hard. I have a lot of stuff I've worked through and have that same self-sabatoging style thoughts when I start to do well, and I shoot myself in my foot. The amount I've written so far this year is what I typically do in one month and it's really hard mentally to handle but I'm trying to focus on the little wins instead of DO ALL THE THINGS RIGHT THIS SECOND and then have burn out and struggling with that mental block (the latter of which is where I'm at currently of course lol)

@elizalagonia1049 3 жыл бұрын

I feel behind on my Q1 goals because of some unforseable events. I had planned space in my writing goals because my family was moving from NY to KY in February. What I didn't plan for was my charger breaking in the move and then my son spilling water on my keyboard and my computer breaking. Writing on my phone was okay, but slow going. My weight goals fell apart in the last two weeks. I knew I would gain weight with the move because I knew we weren't going to be eating great, but since then I was loosing steadily until the last two weeks where I gained 6 lbs. I know Easter was a week ago, but I wasn't expecting to gain 4 lb from it. I gave birth 2 years 2 months ago and though I'm below what I was before I gave birth because I am eating healthier now I am still not where I was just after birth when I was below 200 for the first time in over a decade. You look great and I don't know how people just loose baby weight so fast. I'm setting more monthly weight loss goals than quarterly and have a range I want to get into by the end of the year. I'd love to get to the 195 lb goal, but if I only make it to 210 then I'll be happy. Thank you for the video, I really needed it today.

I can tell you're struggling with the series idea. My best advice is to try to get calm and know that you can't make a mistake. You're going to be fine no matter which path. There is no one path. There are infinite paths, and all are valuable!

I can totally relate to the struggles you expressed especially feeling that something bad will happen if too many good thing happen. I wish I knew how to breakout of that thought pattern. Thanks for sharing. I thought I was the only one.

Sarra thank you. You are the most honest, real author ive met. Thank you for not sugar coating anything and for sharing with us. Surprising to see how many people have the same worries. Thank you again. Also i added timers on my apps. So im only allowing myself an hour a day on social media.

I’ve never commented before but I was so moved by you sharing your story ❤️. I have a similar one, myself. I’ve been through a lot of trauma growing up (assault, neglect, homelessness, loss of mother at 18) and now at 23, my life is the best it’s ever been. I’m happily married and have a stable life, and yet I’m suffering through some of the worst depression in my life. It was almost like I was living my life in auto-pilot for so long through the tough times and now that things are good, it’s like I’m just waiting for more bad things to happen. I do understand what you mean and thank you so much for sharing your story ❤️ Being a writer myself, I think we turn to the words for a way to deal with the struggle. It’s something we control! Hoping you feel better soon, Sarra ❤️

Thank you for sharing this. It's so strange to feel that way when things are going well, but I think there's a certain comfort zone to chaos and trauma when you've lived it for so long. I'm so glad to hear you are in such a better place, but I'm sending you so much love as you navigate this depression. You are not alone.

Everything has been turned upside down. Started the process of buying a house and feeling like I am in limbo awaiting to close on the house. Hopefully by the end of April. So I feel a bit 'out of it' and can't wait to get settled into my new home and can get back on track with what I really want to do from now on. Soon!

Friend, my twins are the same age as your little girl and my body is all sorts of wonky. You are beautiful and I am so grateful for your honesty and transparency. I too am triyng to build a small online business (emergency preparedness for moms), maintain 2 yt channels (ha, not winning there) and writing a Middle Grade series. Plus, you know, twin toddlers and two middle school boys. It's hard. And, it's also wonderful. Thanks for keeping it real and making space for mommy writers -- it can feel lonely as a mom writer even online.

So inspiring! Thank you for your story, Sarra. I also grew up with narcissism and constant criticism and judgment and it can be really tough to overcome. I also struggled with having to deal with those childhood issues in Q1 and lots of money mindset issues I didn't anticipate dealing with. But, just as you said, we're always making progress. I took my money mindset back in my control and overcame a lot of garbage that was weighing me down. Plus, I finished the first draft and revisions for Book 1 of a new series (and new genre) and plotting and the first half of the first draft of Book 2, which were actually planned for Q2, so I got ahead with my writing projects.

Wow! You are a dynamo getting all this stuff done. I tried the 90 day planning & had a hard time coming up with concrete goals (plus my ADHD is an issue). But, this video has given me ideas on what constitutes a concrete goal and I've come up with some already! It's a little late but I'm so excited to start doing the 90 Day planner this quarter 😊

I've slowly been able to get the ball rolling for the first quarter - I decided to get myself the HB90 planner for the first time; and though it has worked well for the first three months, I'm at that stage of life where I need to simplify things so that I do slightly less planning work - for the moment (until things are less busy for me), I've cut out the daily spreads, and only work on the two page weekly one. In the future, when I've got more time, I'd love to really go into depth with the HB90 planner. For the moment, I'm mainly keeping track of how things are going throughout the year for me. Especially with getting my writing life up and going.

Aaaaaah! I finally have the time to watch the whole video without being interrupted, yay! Ok yeah, no, 2021 didn't start well at all, lol! We've had health issues (little one suffering pneumonia and its consequences for a whole month), my feet apparently being unlucky, with me breaking a bone and spraining the ankle on the other side the next month, energy and motivation being very low AND, worst of all, a freaking writer's block. BUT! Because of my forced break, I had the time to think about how to change my organization and make my routine better for my mental health and for productivity. It's still not perfect, I feel, but I've been trying it out for only a full week, so I still have time to see what really works and what does not. It seems, however, that how I organize my writing time has been working, because I was able to write thrice the amount of words I usually produce on average, which is amazing! I'm hoping for that method to continue working wonders, although I don't care how many words I get, basically. I just want to write, a bit, a lot, does not matter as long as it's more words than the previous session. Oh my, the sequence about your struggles, life punching you in the face, toxic environment growing up, self-sabotage was so relatable... As for weight, my son is going to be 4 in two months and I have yet to lose the fat that accumulated on my belly, bums and thighs during pregnancy, haha! Don't worry, I feel like just a tiny percentage of new moms have lost what they gained or at least got back to a thin, model-like body, even fewer after just a month (also that does not seem healthy :o It takes at least three months for the body to completely heal, more if your perineal muscle tore or you had a C-section, if I'm not mistaken... I know my perineal muscle hurt like hell for 3 months and then it got slightly better until it only got uncomfortable here and there a year post-partum - it tore quite a lot).

Another great goals video! These really invigorate me to stay on my own goal planning. This quarter I’ve also removed all social media apps from my phone and only log in on my computer. Until I can make my business more than me I have to focus on the products/books before doom scrolling.
