It would be so much better to do these reviews on Friday, or even Saturday..
But here is how my week worked out. I think I got my main priorities done, though I'm always hoping for at least 50% done in each category, and it didn't quite work out like that.
Thinking through why I still procrastinate on doing the Proverbs project. I think it's just plain procrastination and unorganized thinking in the morning. Each morning next week I'm going to make it a point to review my Bullet Journal every morning for just 5 min while I sip my coffee. Hoping that helps. There are still days where I forget to even look at it.
So in order to do that, it means I have to rework my morning routine--which, honestly, isn't working that great right now anyway. I need a lot more margin built in because I am still moving too slow in the mornings, and I still really struggle with switching tasks.
I did have a great light bulb moment earlier this week for my sales goal though, and will be working on that this week. Totally different than what I had been trying before. Instead of focusing on total sales, I'm going to focus on product. I can't really control sales... but I can control that I am consistently putting out fun and new items and using my email list and social media effectively. So that's my new focus this week.

I also thought I'd share some random lists I have in my bullet journal. It was great going over these lists to get pics for you. I also need to include a Bullet Journal review once a week and re-read through these quotes and lists.
(earlier this week, T1 came in on my bed with me and I happened to have my bullet journal out, working on it, and I flipped to the page where I have been writing great things about each son and read the list outloud to him... he didn't say much, but had an embarrassed smile the whole time. I highly recommend it!)

"Amazing things about" list for each son. |
Great ideas for doing on the weekend... that I very rarely do. But wouldn't it be cool if I did?! |
Great quotes I want to remember. Especially that middle one! |
I have lots of lists like these to try to combat falling into the same old routine of wasting time. Still have not done much here... yet. |
Kind of similar list to the one above, but this was a year review after my 41st birthday. So good to re-read and ask why I'm not doing these. |
These lists are pretty much the only things that keep me focused on the big picture. I SO easily fall into the easy and familiar and start putting out fires and wasting time online, sitting at the computer, and doing the urgent. I definitely need to build daily review/reflection into my morning routine so I can remember what I want to be doing. If it is not in my face, I get lazy, I forget, I get overwhelmed and return to what I call "scribble brain", where I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing, and get overwhelmed with kids in my face, literally breathing my same air because I'm not paying them any attention. So, here's to a new week and new goals, and lots more margin and review!
