Hello everyone:
I wrestled with writer's block over the weekend. I had good intentions. And then, well, life got in the way. That happens.
I am working on a big education project for my National Association (NAPO.net), and while the work is not done, we met a major milestone over the weekend. Woot woot! And then, I tried to jump into the next project but writing didn't work.
I took a moment to rest, and then inventoried what I was feeling and how I was doing. Or, what I was doing and how I was feeling. Either way works. And then awareness came, and I realized it was time to take my own advice for After The Deadline.
We still can revel around the achievement, and I did. And then, after many days immersed in the work, I (metaphorically and actually) picked my head up and looked around. I did a little happy dance, drank some water, grabbed coffee and a meal, then took a shower. Then I meal planned, ordered groceries and batchcooked for the week (and the enchilada soup is delish!). I caught up on a couple loads of laundry, and got ready for house guests. Whew!
Here's the thing - there are always more deadlines. Let's get better at managing them, and also managing the time and process after the deadline. Let's get better at knowing and taking the next steps, post deadline. What does this look like for you? Figure out the check list, write it down, leave yourself notes, make it easier for next time. Because there will be a next time. Click here to learn more.
