It’s 4:48 p.m., and my eyes are starting to hurt.

It’s funny how it’s such a revelation to me that I should use that as a signal to wrap up my computer work.

What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

• Did Day 302 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab 
• Sent in a detailed plan to my website designer for how I want each page to appear
• Met with another writer to help in her quest to accomplish something through IngramSpark
• Did some brainstorming about marketing her books
• Handed over a short manuscript for her to edit (we’re currently bartering services with one another)
• Bought the Affinity software bundle – I’m planning to use this for publishing, but might learn the other features eventually, too
• Found a booklet I want to use as inspiration for a course – it was buried in a box of files
• Contacted three business owners to ask advice on some upcoming decisions
• Filed some papers and opened my receipt box, so that I finish that task before too long…

My Current Home Management Strategies to Help Stay Organized as a Writer

I still like making the first half of my Mondays a time to get house jobs done. There’s something about accomplishing tasks to make a more comfortable environment that takes away stress. Speaking of which, I’m hoping to shut this down soon and go start getting the garage ready – my plan is to empty the Storage Unit this week, so I need to make things ready…

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,

The post down below from 99 days ago makes me smirk – I’m still a bit overrun by small jobs, but I did get some done today, so that made me feel better.
