I was all over the place this week.
I am currently playing, "hurry up and get ahead!" so that I have enough time later this month to dedicate to a big project. This means I need everything craft fair related ready to go (thankfully, it is!), holiday book papers prepped (almost there!) projects planned & blog posts thought about (getting there-ish!). I feel like I'm running around in circles and desperately need to take a deep breath.
Whew.
I am determined to work smarter, not harder next week. Survey says, "It might be possible." Magic eight ball says, "Ask again later." I say, "Pull it together, Blaha." (Fun fact, I have totally adopted "Cripe" as my last name in real life - though I don't care what name or combination of names gets used online as long as they are spelled right - but when I talk to myself it's always, "Blaha.")
My big take away this week is that I need to get back to the "no email after 6pm" rule. I have been stressed in the evenings and sleeping poorly and I think it's because I have not been actively shutting down "work-mode" each day. Tuesday & Wednesday, I skipped an inbox check after Paul got home and noticed a very real difference in how I felt those few hours before bed. What a relief.
Have a great weekend & if you are looking for something to read, may I suggest The Violet? Their fall issue is gorgeous and I have an article inside about (what else?!) Project Life.
