Last week was another crazy week! I actually got a lot done, too, of which I'm proud. Not all of the things I wanted to do, but some important things, so that's good.
Looking back at my Toggl tracking for the week, I'm actually impressed with how much I did. On Monday we finished some of the projects from the weekend. Tuesday I had a productivity hangover and didn't get much done, but Wednesday I did a bunch of planning and blogging, Thursday I restrung a doll for a client and babysat, Friday I finished up some things and got the doll ready to mail out, and Saturday I mailed her out. That's one of the quickest turnarounds I've ever had, so I'm proud of that! And then Saturday we worked more on organization (and picked up a new cabinet I found to contribute toward better organization), and yesterday I babysat super early and attended a board meeting for the museum.
Yesterday I had hoped to get some more done around the house, but I was so exhausted from babysitting at 6am that I knew there was a good possibility I wouldn't get much else done that day, and gave myself permission not to. And it turned out that I didn't, not just because I was tired but also because a friend of ours had a crisis and I spent the afternoon worrying about her. After all that, I decided to read all evening, and was very glad I did.
I also received my new Kindle Scribe on Saturday and was reading and journaling on it all yesterday. I'll blog about that sometime soon, too, because I'm incredibly excited about this new device!
Here's a more detailed rundown of how last week's productivity met expectations, and what I'm hoping to accomplish this week.
Doll stringing ebook: This has been moved again, but with everything else I got done the past week, I'm not sorry. I've pushed this back to next week in hopes of completing more of my organizing project by then.
Ruby Ransome: I've also pushed this back until next week, though I may focus on updating the ebook next week and re-familiarize myself with the novel the following week, right before NaNoWriMo.
Blogs, websites, and social media: I'm slacking a little in the social media department lately, but I did get several blog posts up last week, on both this blog and my novel's blog. I want to make a goal of at least one post per blog per week, and will expand that goal from there as I get a better handle on blogging regularly again. Eventually I'd like to have all my blogs updated several times a week.
Other projects: At the beginning of last week, we finished mounting shelves and a TV in the bedroom, but then didn't work much more on the organization project until Saturday, when we rearranged the living room and picked up a new doll cabinet. I still need to finish rearranging and reorganizing the living room and getting the cabinet filled, which I'm hoping to do this week. I also have more to do in the bedroom, kitchen, and dinette, but I feel like I'm making good progress.
On the horizon: I'm still working on getting everything set up for NaNoWriMo next month, but we're getting there! I still need to finalize details for the kickoff and a few write-ins, but we're getting there.
As I noted in last week's conclusion, I have a lot of balls in the air, so I'm trying to focus on the most important things for now. All in all, last week was pretty productive, and I'm hoping to get a lot done this week too!
