RE: Mission FAB: Forging the path to Success and Personal Bests
I like your list and think it's very doable. I think that's the key to success: making a plan that you can actually tick off things you get done then move on. Aren't dishes a pain? I wash mine by hand and seem to use so many! Oh well, when I need a break from the computer I head over and wash them. It never takes me more than 15 minutes so I should do them at least once a day! haha! Looking forward to seeing what new business ventures you take on. Besides Steemit, I have my hand in fiction writing, writing PLR products, and selling items on Etsy. I like the variety but just wish something would take off and pay better!
Hi Peggy - I'm in a similar position. Apart from that I have a slimline dishwasher (had to train myself to use it though - after a lifetime of taking dishes to the sink and then washing them when the pile gets high). But I write fiction, and PLR, and I suppose my ghost writing is in the place of your Etsy.
The plan thing is key though, isn't it? Actually having one to start with can be a big step to take on some days. I spend a lot of days feeling like I am playing catch-up with myself and plans can easily go out of the window then. But I do love the planning lists where I can tick things off because I actually did them. Not many other things feel as good as that. I'm getting better at chunking tasks down so that I can actually do them - I used to write things like 'Set up Website' but now I break that down into things I can actually achieve step by step, like 'Install Wordpress', 'Delete Plugins', 'Install Theme' etc.
I'm a lot more content when I make time to meditate too, so that should be on my daily list of things. I find that meditating helps me tackle everything else. I just feel more grounded, more capable.
I wonder though about spreading my efforts too widely and thin. It's tempting to cast my net wide to see if anything will bite, but I think that the times in my life that I have seen the best results have all been when I applied myself with focus and limited the distractions and diffusions. I have to fight my ego which says loud and clear that I should be able to do anything and everything... I have to remind myself to concentrate on my core activities too.
Nice to meet you, @powerfulwonders. Yes, as I was writing my comment, I thought about the whole spreading myself too thin thing! I would love for my fiction writing to sell better but until it does I feel like I have to do other things too. Focus is key. Some days I tell myself: You got X and Y done today. That's good. >>> And I leave it at that. I can only do so much!
This first week on Steemit has been a real lesson to me in terms of spreading myself to thinly - how ironic! Am soldiering on though, determined to build up momentum. :-)
I hope to do the e-commerce route for sure this week, by at least finding someone to outsource it too. I will need to reeducate myself on the domain/website flipping, so will see if that is doable this month on top of all the other bits and pieces.
