Day 730: Temporarily changing up my workspace
I got (yet another) late start to the day today, but it was because I was doing some “beginning of the month” organization of my bullet journal. I adjusted my main goals for the month of June and editing and reprioritized marketing tasks. Hopefully it will help streamline things so that when I do a little bit of marketing work each day, I’ll know what’s highest priority at a glance.
I also took a bit longer for my marketing work today because I was in the middle of writing my June newsletter and didn’t want to break my train of thought. I have to send it out next week, so I’d rather take the time now rather than having to scramble to get it done later.
Unfortunately, that means I didn’t get to doing my Regency writing before lunch. But I got all my other “frogs” done (exercise, Bible reading, email, marketing, the Hawaii serial novel) in addition to my organization of my bullet journal, so I feel like I actually accomplished a lot.
I got a fair amount of writing done, but my back began bothering me in the middle of it, and it was very difficult to focus. I wasn’t surprised that I didn’t get many words written in the time I worked.
So when I switched to blocking, I decided to switch to a different chair and workspace. I took my laptop outside, since it’s a nice day today and not too hot in the shade. I ended up getting a lot done, although I didn’t write a lot of words, and my back stopped bothering me. I should have moved to a different chair when it first started bothering me, because then I might have gotten more writing done. I have to remember that for next time.
It looks like I wrote a lot today, but that was just because I had to copy and paste a bunch of text to a new file.
