Time Management In Difficult Times

The last few months have been exceptionally difficult. Finding motivation to work in the craft room, work on WordPress, even just basic household chores after love ones go on to the great beyond has become just a motion. Before all of the loved ones passing, my play time consisted of using the smart phone calendar to schedule all of the chores that needed to be done. (If you wish to know in great detail of which app’s I’m using just drop the question at the end of this story.)

Great practice for learning to schedule business stuff that also has to be accomplished. Now I know that my loved ones wouldn’t want me to dwell on their passing forever so using this App has helped me move forward to do what needs to be done. For the most part I’ve gotten all chores done. This has left me with extra time to wok behind the scenes to learn everything about blogging on WordPress. I want to mention that I have several drafts in place and not a one of them has made the junior league. I can plop a thought down and forget about it or I can add to it and the awesome part nobody ever has to know.. (unless I publish it.) I love WordPress and I continuously come back to word press. I have one other blog spot but it doesn’t put me at ease like WordPress does. If your thinking of blogging I recommend WordPress. They say WordPress works better if one adds pictures. I like pictures however I think that if it’s kept to one or two per post it might save on frustrating you, the reader! What do you think? What are your thoughts?

As for the rest all I can say is learn as you go. There is a lot to learn and it’s impossible to learn it all in one day. Take notes and I recommend getting a lot of notebooks. (Lol)

You could probably say that this post is about time management. Did you guess right? Between chores and what I really want to do has become a war in its own right. The chores are starting to over run how much time I have to work on business, crafts and much needed shopping. Who doesn’t love shopping? Ya, that could easily take a huge chunk in its self. Business plans can also have a tendency to take over too. So.. I’m working on a plan to where I a lot only so much time per day per project. What doesn’t get done is saved for the next day. Here, one has to be careful because one could easily lose ones place on what was worked on last. By placing a note on your calendar’s list that the project is still being worked on is helpful. It’s not perfected. It’s still a work in progress. In the mean time, now, has also become a opportunity to reorganize the craft room. It too, is a work in progress. It’s by far not perfect and it’s still not quite the way I want it. It’s not much to look at but it works for me. It’s just quiet enough that I can think reasonably.. let’s face it a constant running of a tv on the news is distracting. I’m sure all crafters can relate. Am I right?

You, the reader have been incredibly awesome to have read this far into my story of the day. I have lost track of how many times I have edited this story. I can not wait to bring you a more structured story and I wanted to give you a heads up of what has been going on for the last few weeks here at Colorful Dimensions 1014 blogging world.
