Since my last blog post, I have achieved my specific, measurable goals! I have started doing 5 minutes of stillness before my yoga and I have been going down to my basement and actually working on writing for an hour, both of these six days a week. I was just going to do them every day, since I don’t have a job right now, but I ended up just giving myself Sundays off to sleep in and blah. I was also having real trouble sleeping for a while that has only just started to fix itself.
But either way, new goals are a success! I am going to keep up with them before I try and add anything new, especially since I’m not getting to the end of my revision of BotN, which means it’s going to be more of an emotional load to edit, and I don’t want to do that AND try and increase my time spent at the same time. But, making downstairs a working zone really has worked, and for the first time in …well ever, I actually have mornings open, which is when I am able to focus the best.
That may change when I get a job again, but for now I’m enjoying it and trying to solidify the habit so that if I have to start writing in the afternoon or evening, I can still keep it up. My goals remain the same, 1 hour writing and yoga/stillness 6 days a week. If I get through another week or so with this, I’ll think about increasing my goals.
