Heyyy, everyone. I wrote out a post, but I forgot to finish and post it, so let's just nix it lol. Basically, I was running behind, ordered breakfast at the coffee shop, and took my ADHD meds.
So anyway, I stepped away for a bit to talk to my friend and the barista (she’s newish, so maybe she’s an acquaintance. I enjoy talking to her, though), and when I came back to my little spot, work had picked up. So here’s what I have planned.
- The writing order I'm working on right now. I did get a little distracted, but I’m ready to focus now. It shouldn’t take super long to finish.
- I have a revision for an order I submitted two days ago. It’s a pretty simple revision, so I think it’s fine to do that next.
- One of the writing teams I’m on added work, which I know will be gone by tomorrow. So I’m going to work on a bunch of those next.
- If those orders are gone soon or before close, I’ll start on my direct orders. However, if this work remains on the board for a while, I’m going to work on those.
Yeah, I was sent four direct orders (by the same client who just added team orders). They’re ONLY for me, and they’re not due until May 15th. I was going to work on them today or tomorrow. I’ll work on them today if I need more to do, but probably not tomorrow. My best friend asked if I was busy tomorrow, so I might go out with her. If the plans change, then I’ll decide if I want to work. The thing is, I love it when my Mondays are productive. I feel like it’s a good way to start the week. So, I kind of wanna save these DOs for Monday. I’m really leaning towards doing that.
Also, I'm probably going to listen to Tim Curry's audiobook while doing dishes and/or putting the laundry away later. It's easier for me to focus on the audiobook when I'm doing stuff like that. I don't want to lie down because I might fall asleep, and I cannot listen to it while working.
Later that night is Boston Blue, so yay for Donnie Wahlberg on my screen lol.
Okayyyy, so I think my ADHD meds are starting to kick in. Plus, seeing all the work awaiting me is increasing my motivation. I’m going to get started for real now. I’ll be logging out of here after posting, just as I did Twitter/X, so that I can focus.
Byeeeeee. You all enjoy your day! If I don't post anything else, I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay safe and take care. :)

I'm glad work's picked up for you. I like feeling productive reguardless of the day of the week. While I don't mind the lazy day I don't like it too much.

Thank you so much! I did take advantage of the last slow week and get some other tasks/projects done. I didn't get through the entire list before work picked up, so I'll continue during the next slow week. I think we all need a lazy day, just to relax, but I definitely get wanting to feel productive. I like that feeling, too.
