Ten things that help me stay focused
while being Gussy:
1. Keep a creative workspace
2. Music. Must be on!
3. Organize what I need to sew and group projects according to fabric {and required thread color}
4. Keep computer in another room ;)
5. Set small goals. “I will sew through this pile and then I will _______ {eat lunch, take a break, check my email, switch the laundry.}
6. Schedule blog posts to post in the future. This helps me work when it’s “work time” and blog when “everyone is asleep”. Hah. Should I be asleep then, too…?
7. Meet and maintain blog friends that can encourage you with your creativity
8. Similar to point #4: Mute computer {so dings, beeps, and all other “alerts” are shushed}
9. Maintain a blog schedule calendar {super important}
10. Keep my products something I’m interested in/would want to own
I think it’s so important to stay on top of your goals, too. I set weekly and monthly goals and love when I can update them, add to them, or simply check them off my list :) I also really stay on top of my calendar and am always checking it. It helps me to remember what I have going on {especially for upcoming giveaways!} I am really good at overworking my brain. Keeping a calendar helps me to “forget” all the little things. And… Gussy is getting a lot of “little things” lately. Oh my, yes she is.
I mean, Yes I am.
Okie dokie. Time to take a break since I’m talking to myself. I wish you all a wonderful week. Stay warm! :)
