Look at the time
A quick post written on my phone tonight. It was a good show day. I also got in some writing. I came home and my son and I made a shepherd’s pie with leftover mashed potatoes- we’d had that planned from the start. He did most of the cooking and I helped a little and … Continue reading Look at the time

Knowledge with gauges
Since yesterday's blog, I've been considering what motivates me and what I need to get over a few hurdles. I know that seeing numbers increasing quickly inspires me. Little numbers or slow going frustrates me. I like to close my rings. Goal achieved trophies are cool, but little motivational "you did it, now keep going" … Continue reading Knowledge with gauges

Tangents
I woke this morning with an old project on my mind. As I was thinking about a direction I could take with it, it got my braining thinking about business. Once I was on that tangent, I was off. I spent a lot of the day thinking about the structure of everything I have going … Continue reading Tangents

Blasé planning and bite-sized segments
I wanted to write about the planning I'd been doing on Friday, but that seems to not be happening today. When I looked at the notes I took, the ones I'd spent all afternoon writing, it all felt so blasé. I sat there staring at some of my notes wondering why I had taken them. … Continue reading Blasé planning and bite-sized segments

Risks and reps
I have to start today's post with a video that spoke to me today. It is from Chuck Black's YouTube about getting better at drawing and painting. Even thought it has been something I've been telling myself a lot lately, I like the way he frames it. I had to start it at the 3 … Continue reading Risks and reps

Habits, systems, and goals
Today has been a little rough. I woke up fighting a headache and just felt in a terrible mood due to the wind continuing to blow most of the night. Wind just sets me on edge. As a result, I was worn down. But, as the day progressed, I perked up some. Coffee does wonders. … Continue reading Habits, systems, and goals

26 tasks
Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I’ve been trying to figure out how to schedule my time to do all that I want to do. I’m still at that chore. I’ve watched a few good videos today and some very bad ones. It’s amazing what all is out … Continue reading 26 tasks

Alas
It's been a day of getting my tooth fixed and bookkeeping. Fortunately, the tooth wasn't as bad as I was afraid it was going to be. My wonderful dentist didn't even have to numb me in order to fix it. Woo hoo! He did say I had a good chunk out of it though. Feels … Continue reading Alas

The basics
"Don't become good at something you don't want to do." That's an anonymous quote I've run into twice lately. The universe is trying to tell me something. And, it's too late. At first when I ran into this quote this morning, I got a little upset. I've become good at bookkeeping and I felt for … Continue reading The basics
