nature rejuvenation

WEEK 73 - POST 2

This whole week feels like a struggle.  I'm not really focused on work (either P.T. work or entrepreneur work).  It's interesting that I was out in nature last weekend (for an organized walk) but it wasn't refreshing for me.  It didn't rejuvenate - almost had the opposite effect.  I did appreciate learning new things and a chat with someone I knew but it's really not how I want to be out in nature.

(I will do it again but will schedule it as "learning" not as "downtime"!)

Regarding my check-in from the beginning of the week:

I am currently two posts ahead.  Two were published this week.  And I also spent an hour working on two past posts - adding links and even changing wording!  This is great!!  I'm going to celebrate!!

Wow!!  Have I EVER been two posts ahead????

YAHOO!!!!!

I'm wondering if I can finalize one more to be posted next week - so that I actually have two posts for that week?  (And then I'll only be one post "behind" and that one can be finalized next week.)

I actually think I can see the possibility of being ahead on my posts by the end of this year!!  That would be great - I could figure out sequence better - have a stronger strategy on what I'm focusing on, etc.  Next week I will have three straight days to focus on entrepreneurial work (writing + first product) so I definitely can do more posts (plus will do other things!)

Was also asked by a local NGO to participate in an "informal panel discussion" on writing (about how I started my blog, etc.) - I had to turn it down as I already had a commitment the same afternoon (and there wasn't much time to prepare anyway!) but amazing to be asked!!!

I'm going to make sure this weekend is rejuvenating so I don't struggle next week! 

(Lesson Learned.)

There has been some potential this week but some things interrupted it:

- staff meeting this week (P-T work) at the office cross town
- request from a NFP partner to pick up a box from their office (P-T work)
- friendly phone call from collaborator to meet up (which ended up not happening but made me reprioritize)
- trying to deal with this procrastination (loneliness?) by watching HSHBBiz videos
(some good (learning) but it's still hard to see all the work that I'm not getting done!)

So let's just focus on the good:

- I'm ahead on posts!!
- I'm learning more at HSHBiz!
- This weekend I can rejuvinate!
