Yikes. Since I'm writing this on Friday instead of at the beginning of the week, I guess this edition is more of a week-in-review than weekly goals. But I didn't want to skip writing about the week altogether.
Last week was actually pretty productive. I got a bunch done in my organization project, on top of babysitting and other obligations. It was a good week.
This week has been a struggle as far as productivity goes. I don't know if it's because it was a short week due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, or because I feel like I'm coming out of hibernation after the extreme cold of the holiday weekend, or just a "productivity hangover" from how much I'd been getting done before that. We've been super busy lately, and that does sometimes have the effect of making me into a slug once the pressure lets up a little.
The weekend was tough, partially because we had extreme cold with one day (Monday) not even making it above zero, and the other days over the weekend only marginally better than that. I thought that while it was cold, I'd be motivated to get stuff done inside, but the opposite seemed to be the case: It made me want to hibernate. The effect was compounded by the fact that I was dog sitting for the weekend, and we ended up with the dog for an extra night when the family got stuck in the mountains due to the snow and cold. Their dog can't be left alone, and tends to shadow me at home, which also makes it difficult to get anything done while she's here.
I thought once I dropped the dog off home on Tuesday and the weather warmed up, I'd be able to get stuff done, but I forgot to take into account that my mom was coming over on Tuesday. She stayed the night and didn't leave until late in the day on Wednesday, so that took out two more days. Yesterday I felt like I struggled to get anything done, and today has been much the same.
I'm thankful today is Friday. Today I have some copy I need to write for the museum, and then with the rest of the weekend my main goal is to get back to work on organizing. I have two weekends left to get the house ready for my mom before her procedure on February 1st, so I need to get moving on that.
