Setting My Goals for the Week
I have decided that I simply must set goals for each week. Setting them is one thing, of course, and sticking to them is another.
I get lazy sometimes, and don’t do the things that I should. Today was a day like that. I usually start off my day by walking with my friend, but she had to go somewhere else, so I walked up to the grocery store alone.
I don’t know if it was the change of routine or what, but I just couldn’t get into working and writing today. I ended up wasting the day watching old t.v. shows on Hulu, reading, and just messing around.
I hate wasted days. It’s not like I can make it up, and I’m having way too many of them lately, when I really can’t afford to. I made myself a promise that I would take my writing seriously, but so far, I’ve not been able to buckle down and treat it like a real job.
Psychologically, that’s bad enough, but financially, it’s a disaster. I’m torn some days as to whether I should work, or just work on selling everything I own and moving out of here. But where I am wouldn’t change anything. It’s not where I am, it’s me, and I know that.
Sometimes, discouragement sets in, like the fact that one site seemed like it would be a sort of easy source of decent money, and now has turned out not to be. I tend to put too many of my eggs in one basket, and then ending up kicking myself for doing so.
So today, I seem to have spilled all the eggs, and now have a yukky mess that I need to clean up. Where’s Mr. Clean when you need him?
