Progress Report #4

Oh my goodness, guys.

It's May.

Seriously.

I am five months into this process.

The good news is I have a complete first draft which I am still letting sit because my brain won't let me leave it alone. It is difficult, but I'm trying really hard. Time and time again, my brain is like, "hey, Shelby, you know this sucks so you need to rework it and here are 503427809471398 ideas for how to change it."

So on to the progress report:

WIP: 1st draft complete (because I already said that).

Weight: 150 lbs. (Note: I actually forgot to weigh first thing this morning so this was after I ate breakfast and worked out and everything.)

Yes, I know, my weight has shot up again. I went a bit overboard in the celebrating finishing the draft and then I lost the desire to work out and then when I tried to start up again, I did something wrong that hurt my knee.

My knee is better and I am back on my healthy eating kick AND working out. I've discovered Fitness Blender on Youtube which has been helpful so I no longer have an excuse not to do anything when the weather is rough.

This morning I did two different workouts which took about an hour.

In fact, today has been rather productive. Which is good seeing as being productive is my goal for this month.

How am I going to do this? By each morning getting up and deciding to be productive. No more sleeping in late (although I've not done that a lot recently). Keeping my room clean. Doing laundry and actually hanging clothes up and folding them, you know the stuff I hate to do.

Productivity will be pushed at work as well, especially with summer holidays coming up so quickly. Not holidays for me, but for people who have summer vacation. It's going to get busy and I need to be able to stay focused. We have a lot of stuff to shelve as it is and when teachers start selling their books to us it is only going to get worse. But busy is fun. It makes the days go quicker.

Do you have any tips on how you keep productive? Feel free to comment below!

Until next time,
Shelby Hild
