Dealing With a Non-Productive Day
I’ve had one of those days you’d just as soon forget. Full of promise, then ZAP! — it was gone, and what did I have to show for it? On days like this, you have to make a list of the things you did, so you don’t sit around kicking yourself for not doing anything.
Things I actually did today:
1. Fed the animals. Some days I just don’t want to, and today was one of those days, but I did it.
2. Finished a book. I simply could not stay up last night another minute, so I finished the last 30 pages over my morning coffee. I also read an article in a magazine I had borrowed from a friend, so now I can give it back.
3. Watered the veggies. I have a couple of tomatoes, a pepper, an eggplant, and some other stuff out there that I had to water today. I noticed that the beans I planted just to be doing it are coming up. Cool! Don’t hold out much hope for the cucumber seeds, though.
4. Removed all my posts from Hubpages. Long story. Would rather not go into it. Now I just have to wait for them to clear off of Google. I also put in to Google for a few of them to be removed from cache. Will do more tomorrow.
5. Joined a writer’s forum, and read and posted a little. Found out about a site where I could possibly sell some articles.
6. Joined DailyArticle.com. That’s the site I found out about on the forum. I’m planning on submitting a few Thanksgiving and Christmas articles there to see how they sell.
7. Copyscaped an article I had removed from Constant Content. It passed, so I submitted it to DailyArticle.com. Hope it sells.
8. Tweeted a couple of articles here on Twitter, got a few PV’s from that.
9. Came here and posted this, now I’m done for the night. Gonna go read some more, and try to get rid of this headache (probably from staring at the screen too long).
So maybe I wasn’t too lazy today. At least I got something done. Not a day lost after all.

Curious to know what is good about dailyarticles.com compared to constant-content: is a similar deal with being paid on sale only? One of the things I do with C-C is post the odd article at a high price: for full rights. If it doesnt sell in a month or so and I take it down and use it on one of the other sites I write for!
Hey Lissie! Thanks for stopping by. Actually, from what I’ve been told, Daily Article pays you usually within 72 hours of sale, unless it’s paid for by check, and then it might take longer. They don’t notify you that it’s been sold, I don’t think. They just put the money into your paypal account.
I had a couple of questions, and Shanda responded very quickly.
I think we all have those off days. Sounds like you were very busy. It is hard to believe it is already the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
Hi Robin! Today was better. Got more done, but less that you can actually see. I can’t believe it’s already almost Thanksgiving either! I’m just wrote about 5 Thanksgiving and Christmas articles. It seems too early for Christmas, but people have been writing about them since September!
Wow, it seems as if you accomplished alot this particular day. Kudos!
