Positive change

So far 2013 has been off to a strong start.  My overarching goal is to focus more.  That means fewer distractions that waste my time (like watching shows and playing games) and more effort towards making my dreams a reality.  To start with, I’ve been working on cutting out the useless parts of my life that have slowly taken over much of my time in the past couple of months.  I’m working on getting up every day at a regular time, getting some work and cleaning done, and eating and showering “on time” (kinda).

While it’s only been three days (what?!), I’m doing well; I’ve been productive each day and tidied up the house bit by bit.  I’ve gotten some work done for my websites and/or eBay each day whereas in previous weeks I probably would have put it off to another day.  Now when I think of something, I get to it right away, before I lose motivation or forget about it.  The same thing goes with household chores – instead of leaving things lying around, I’m picking them up, putting them away, and organizing as needed.

So far I’m feeling good about my motivation levels, which I was definitely struggling with more recently.  As I start to get used to this new, more healthy routine, I’m going to add more demanding goals, like really buckling down to decide what direction I want my professional development to go.  Part of this effort will involve reading some books for ideas and inspiration.  I had started to do that when I first left my job last year, but then it dwindled.  I think if I learn about how others made it work, I’ll feel better about my own prospects.  After all, every day we see successful businesses around us – why can’t one of those be run by me?
