GUESS WHAT YOU GUISE!! I FINALLY figured out how to make the windows on my PC side by side so I can type AND look at my mind map! Yes, I am the kind of person that has to have a mind map to write. In college they figured out that I have ADHD and taught me to make mind maps. It was a life saver. High School was so easy for me they thought I was just bored shitless and thus always up to no good. I was in the honors thingie in collage and I STILL couldn’t “preform to my full potential”. So I got sent off for some testing and lo and behold I had ADHD. This was before the med craze of modern times, so I was taught how to make mind maps and the like. It was a pain on the computer to switch between windows but now I can see them side by side!
I blogged earlier that I was switching up the blog and I still am, but I decided to keep the book reviews. I was going through a reading slump and was discouraged but I am slowly pulling out of it. I had been sick a large part of this year and the Dr finally nailed what it was. I am allergic to gluten. SIGH. No more cakes and bread and cookies for me. That was the mainstay of my diet (yes I am fat, AND???) I asked the Dr what was I supposed to eat? He was like have you ever heard of the Paleo diet? I told him yes that I followed it last year and lost 70 pounds. SO it seems that I will be on it forever and ever. I can already feel the depression and fogginess lifting. So YAY for that!
Now that I am feeling better I am motivated to try and complete “The Artist Way” book. I started it then my health issues came up and well, it took a backseat but now I am feeling better and I want to see if it really will help me unlock my creativity. Speaking of creativity, I have decided to redecorate my apartment. I want to find some bookish stuff to do it with so if you have links to anything let me know in the comments. First, though I have to do a major cleaning, which I will do this week. My apt could be an on an episode of hoarders at the moment. I am gonna take Fly lady’s advice and get it spotless then I am setting up routines. My friends all want to come over and I am like alll HAHAHAH NOOOOOO
I have decided that I need to become more disciplined about my writing and blogging if I want to see any real success so I am trying out a schedule. This is what I have so far.
6 AM- drag my but out of bed and get caffeinated with Death Wish Coffee, Once I am fully caffeinated, I will go for a walk. I am so out of shape that I can only do 15 mins at a time but that better than nothing. Walking is supposed to help depression and anxiety so I am willing to give it a try.
Come back from walking, take a shower and put on my work PJ’s. Yes I work in PJ’s I find if I put on clothes that I feel like I must go somewhere. Of course If I am on Skype with a client I put on nice clothes but otherwise PJ’s it is!
Write until lunch at 12:pm Even if I have to use pondomoros or stare at a blank screen my ass is sitting there writing. Sooner or later my brain will get in the habit of writing and it wont be so difficult. I hope.
LUNCH
Write some more
Dinner
This is just a bare bones outline. I will fine tun it once I figure out what works for me. Now I am a huge procrastinator and do not get much done.
Oh I looked at all the reviews that I had to write and felt so overwhelmed I deleted them all from my to do list and started over. Have any over you ever done anything like that?
