I strive on routines the same way you do. I had the same problem with my daily pills until I found the solution: I placed them in a similar case like yours next to my perfume which I use every morning. No extra walk, no forgetting, no "where did I put them?" anymore! The trick was to combine it with an already automatic habit.

Ooohhhh! Maybe set "Office Hours" for Heartbreathings? That might be a thing to help. Gives you social media time, within a hard boundary. Then you're getting on there to do what you need to do, because you know you only have a limited window for work stuff.

@HeartBreathings Месяц назад

Yes!! Great way to frame it!

@suzisaintjames Месяц назад

For me, the key is figuring out: 1. Is there friction and 2. What is the friction. As planners, once we figure out what the friction is... It's easy to put systems in place. I had a huge friction to hand washing dishes. It took me a long time to figure out that if the basket is full, I can't wash more because the ones already air dryed will get wet. So now I know, putting away the clean dishes is the first step, NOT the last step to hand washing dishes. I've even got triple layered microfiber cloths to lay on the counter if the basket is full! After discovering the friction and putting simple things within reach, hand washing dishes is so easy now! 💖🌞🌵😷

My issue is unexpected pop-up projects. Example: The daughter of a friend is moving to a smaller place and has to replace her GORGEOUS leather sofas. She knew I had just moved into a bigger place and was looking to get a set of matching sofas to replace my old apartment sofa. So she offered me her sofas for free. I jumped at the chance, BUT now I have to pull everything out of my living room, get rid of my existing sofa, obviously deep clean the floors and baseboards, because how often is the room going to be completely empty? I have to rent a truck to go pick up the new sofas, find a helper... it's just a lot of things and it has already used up about 6 hours of my time that I would have used on a different project, and I haven't even gone to get the sofas yet.

@HeartBreathings Месяц назад

Yeah, that's such a tough thing to plan for, because we never know when those opportunities are going to pop up. I try my best to put in a decent amount of "buffer" time for illnesses, kids needs, etc, but sometimes a project or opportunity comes along that just doesn't fit into my buffer. In that case, I just do my best to identify a project on my board that is somewhat equal to the time I'll spend with that new thing and I'll move it to next quarter. It's not always possible, though, if everything is on a deadline.

I am right there with you with the having all these goals and feeling like I can do it all, then realising something has gotta give. Also what you were saying at the end of your video where things are so close and in reach... What I've really had to do a better job of lately is taking time to stop and also realise that I am literally living the life that I used to dream of, and I need to appreciate where I am now. We are always learning and growing, and though we crave that feeling of accomplishment and having "arrived", life is composed of the day to day of getting there. We need to enjoy the actual work of progress and growth. Most days aren't the big accomplishments, we have to enjoy those in between goals times, because that is what most of our career is going to be. I think you're doing great, you're definitely an inspiration. But I hope you don't put so much pressure on yourself that you forget to actually enjoy the accomplishing of your goals while you work toward the "having accomplished" part of your goals. ❤

I've had the Samsung Tab 10.A for years, and I still love it. My husband ruined one by spilling soda on it several years ago, so I just bought another of the same exact one. Also 10" screen. I use Trello widget on it on the multiple background screens for different types of things when I'm going through a process that I want to be able to see if I don't want to carry a lot of extra notebooks for all of them. It helped me with studies for college, with writing stuff, and even some business stuff.

@suzisaintjames Месяц назад

For me, scheduling my creativity first thing was my answer to my friction. Admin and chores all take decisions which deplete my decision/creativity reservoir, so I schedule them later in the day. Yes, you have to live life before you can write about life, but like you said admin stuff still has to get done. That's why I think your early morning sprints with your group is right on! 👍. Just realize that game playing, while relaxing, involves sooo many decisions that also drain your creative reservoir. (This comes from the research that shows you only have a given amount of decisions per day. So whether you decide how your plot is going or which jigsaw piece goes where, it's all depleting the same reservoir.) 💖🌞🌵😷

@suzisaintjames Месяц назад

See through pill boxes are soooo important! Not only do they remind you to take your pills, but they let you know if you already took them (preventing double dosing). The other key here is to put them where you'll automatically see the box or bag and take them. Sarra said she keeps hers at the breakfast table. Another good place is in your coffee cup. Get your cup in the a.m. and surprise! There's your pills! When I used to have a long commute, by the time I got home my back was sooo painful from sitting so long that I could hardly get out of the car. As my boss insisted every body clean their desk before leaving, I got a really small 7-day pill box... It only had enough room for 1 big capsule or 2 little tablets in each compartment. It fit perfectly in my pencil jar. So every night, as I'm cleaning off my desk and putting my pens away, I saw my pill box and took my pain medication. Now, when I got home my medication had started to work and it was easy to get out of the car and even start dinner. For me, it's all about finding the friction. In this example the first friction was getting out of the car. But the harder friction to discover was figuring out when I could take the pills to be effective, how to take them regularly and without the big production of getting out the pill bottle and shaking out 2 pills. The pill box was very discreet and because it was see through, I could easily check to see if I took them or not. 💖🌞🌵😷

How do you break down your tasks so granularly? I never learned how to do that... It's very difficult to break down goals and tasks that much

@HeartBreathings Месяц назад

I mentally walk myself thru the process as much as I can and then just keep breaking it down. So if I think "create a marketing plan for my book" I'll just mentally start brainstorming steps of what that looks like, what decisions need to be made, what I want to do. So I might have a list that starts with the places I want to market "Facebook group, Facebook page, newsletter, Instagram." Then I'll break it down to how often and what I want to post, what graphics I need to make etc. I just keep breaking it down. If it helps I can share a visual of how I go through this

How can one set a goal for the number of followers/subscribers/customers etc? Isn't it arbitrary or luck mostly? I'd really like to know!

@HeartBreathings Месяц назад

It's part luck but it's also largely strategy and consistency to gain followers. I prefer and encourage people to set goals that are out of your control, when it fits, so that you can judge whether the actions you're taking are actually getting the result you desire. That doesn't just apply to numbers, but at certain stages and in certain areas, it's really helpful. With followers on Instagram, for example, if my goal is to actually grow, it's really helpful to set a number I want to reach so that I can tell what's moving the needle. If I try leaning hard into stories and posting 3 times a week reels and I only grow 100 subscribers this quarter, I would try a different strategy next quarter like maybe less stories and posting a reel or a carousel every single day. Then, because I'm paying attention to my goal of followers, I can judge over time which strategy was more effective in reaching the outcome. But you're right that we don't have full control over the result. What we have control over is the action we take, so when we set a goal that matches the result we want, we can more easily judge if the actions are actually getting us there or not.

Does the different shades mean anything? Also, how granular do u go with tasks on the board, asking specifically writing tasks, since i don't do youtube. Is each sticky a scene, a chapter?

@HeartBreathings Месяц назад

The different shades are for different projects buckets. Like dark purple is Ream, lighter purple is project Phoenix etc. I just wanted to try giving each major project is own color! With my board here I usually break my writing down by 1,000 words each post it when I'm drafting and by chapter when I'm editing. I would recommend at least breaking it down into what is reasonable to do in a day or a single writing session. If that's 200 words do that so you're moving something every day. It can start to get really discouraging to be working but not seeing the progress if you have them too big

@cvvzdesigns Месяц назад

Looking at the emotional yo-yo from a fans side of it, as a "not to do" guide, I've realized that I need to have my works essentially ready to go with 3 books under my belt, and at least a years worth of twice a month shorts/chapters for ream in the bank before I make any sort of public interaction concerning the 1st releases, otherwise I'll constantly be in the "it's coming" "it's behind schedule" "I swear it's still coming" loop, myself. 🥲 If I got as invested in side projects to aid income, I'd end up quitting outright without warning to anyone. 😐 But, I'm easily overwhelmed by trying to meet others expectations.
