Ah ha, ah ha ha ha ha.
Well. We all knew that I was being ambitious with my 2021 plans, because I always am. I didn’t expect to be *quite* this far behind at not even the end of January though :’D
The insomnia is getting better, but not super fast, and now that I’m back at work I can’t sleep in to compensate, so this week I am just Brain. Dead.
Which, I expected this, and I’m doing better than I thought in terms of brain fog and exhaustion, but also I’m in meetings all day where I can’t multi-task, which means I’m not really *starting* my to-do list until I get home… assuming I still have brain power left by that time of day!
It’s okay. I’m not bothered. I mean, I am, a bit, but I’m trying *not* to be, you know? I’ll get to all this stuff eventually, and that has to be okay, because it not being okay isn’t going to make me get to it faster, so it might as well be okay. 🙂
The most annoying thing is that I have a Kickstarter campaign sitting there READY TO GO, approved and everything, BUT it’s for Dreaming Of Forests and Bones Of The Sea, and Bones is new and was supposed to be the 10k thing I wrote over New Year’s, but I got to 5k and realised I was a quarter of the way through not halfway through and literally haven’t touched it again since :’D Oops. So. I need to be MORE THAN A QUARTER DONE with that before I’m willing to launch the Kickstarter, which means putting a deadline on having it Done and Out and Posted to people.
Which means I need to write, which means I need to SLEEP, and have more than *does calculations* mm, 3 hours a day to achieve my ENTIRE to-do list.
To give you some idea of what I’m up against, here’s my to-do list from today:
- Add shipping and privacy policies to AL (here) and IP (Inkprint Press)
- Add footer section to IP w/ policy menu a la [other site]
- Kids school uniforms
- format 3 Inklets
- T&S covers round 2
- POST OFFICE
- Violin servicing
- Email [person] re: “supportive class” eg – [group] as FLOCK
- 2 titles to Kobo
- Print timetables
- Change [thing] appt
- sermon
Plus Photos at 11am, GP at 16:15 for routine check-up, and dropping stuff to a friend at 5pm. Spoilers: the ONLY things on this list I achieved today was the photos appointment, the GP, and the post office. *sigh*.
So this is the quantity of tasks I’m not getting through this week that are being shifted back to next week, and the week after, and probably the week after. But that’s okay. Again: they will get done when they get done, and stressing won’t get them done faster, and Not Sleeping in order to Do More Things is counterproductive generally and especially at this point when I’m trying to recover from three months of insomnia. ESPECIALLY when I sleep better if I’m in bed with lights out before 10pm, urgh.
Anyway, this was a very random post that doesn’t really serve any particular purpose, but hi! Thanks for reading my ramble 😀
Tomorrow, I’ll break with the Friday-video tradition and share the cover of Bones Of The Sea 🙂
