Hey there, everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I'm not doing a goals post tonight, mainly because there isn't much to say with that one. Yesterday, I worked on a 1,000-word order, including proofreading and editing, that took me almost 3 hours to complete. I started another 1,000-word order (for the same client) last night and finished it today, so I didn't bother to time it. I did time an 800-word order I did on Textbroker today, and it took 1 hour and 23 minutes to complete. I've decided to log in to Textbroker to only ensure I don't have a revision request (the 800-word order is with an unfamiliar client), and to cash out for Sunday night, and that's it. Otherwise, I'm too tempted to take this order or that order, and I just don't have time for it. I have one more 1,000-word order, as well as an order that's probably going to be at least 1,500 words, both on Fiverr. On Friday, I'll have four 300-word orders on Fiverr, and then hopefully I'll have a little time to grab a few orders on Textbroker. I have virtual plans with the family at 7pm, and I have no idea how long it'll last, so I'd like to get the bulk of my work finished by 6:30pm. I wouldn't say I got a late start with my work, but I did take the time to clean my laptop first. I want to keep it in tip-top shape, and it was due for a cleaning. And I don't mean the hard drive or whatever, I mean literally cleaning the screen, keys, etc. On another note, procrastination has been kicking my rear end this week, so I need to get myself back into gear. I have too much on my plate with my Fiverr orders to not get down to business. It's after midnight, so it's October 1st on my end, which starts my marathon of watching spooky and family-friendly Halloween movies. Obviously, I'm going to start with the original Halloween from 1978 (not NOW, but today lol). Depending on when I can get started on my work, it's either going to be background noise (that's okay, I'm sure I'll watch it again at some point), or I'll take a break to watch it in between orders. We'll see what happens. Also, I need to simmer down with the NKOTB concerts/videos that aren't technically new, but are still new to me. They're becoming distracting, and they can wait until I'm not working on my writing orders. I need to stick with what can play as background noise and focus on my work, like the concerts I've watched many, many times, or just music on Spotify instead of videos. Lol, maybe it's time to break out The Golden Girls during the day again. ;) Anywho, this has been long enough, so I'm going to wrap it up and hit the hay. You all have a good night/morning, stay safe and take care. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.

I hope you do save those new ones for later so you don't get distracted, and don't miss them either from working.

Thanks! I haven't watched them in days, nor have I watched them while working since realizing it wasn't helping me to be as productive as I wanted.
