I am the last person to ask about being more productive, lol. Lets face it, family first, right? My sister has been quite ill since July so caring for her has been my priority. I only have so much energy and physicality since Im disabled so between that, the house, the yard, laundry, groceries, etc, there isnt much of me left. She is slowly improving and taking her to physical/occupational therapy is helping. Oh, talk about a wake up call, my PO has a large drop bin for parcels behind the counter so we can put the packages in it since the drop bin door gets stuck all the time. More and more Im noticing how many of those pre-labeled packages are from ebay sellers! No wonder theres nothing at the thrifts around here! My city only has 2 shops and you need to travel at least 20 min to get to another, then another 15 min, etc. Not that we all sell the same things but.....lots of competition for an everything seller like me. This past week was awful for sourcing everywhere I went......granted, only 4 places, but still bad.
I'm sorry! Yes definitely more people in the biz these days. Sorry about your sister..glad she's doing a bit better and be sure to take care of yourself too!
Thanks for the tip on Pendleton shirts. I currently have one listed, so I looked up the label and found that it is indeed vintage and the style is "Trail Shirt".
Shannon.... are you reading my mind... lol I want to cross list but first I want to list like crazy...because I have such great stuff to list. It's a hard juggle. I have 2 small children that take my priority so I'm always wanting to spread myself thin. Great last sale!!!! 🎉💯👑 I have some really nice bags to list. A huge Kenith Cole leather travel duffle and a vintage coach brief case amongst many other gems. Ugh the struggle is real!!! 😂
I feel you on the spreading yourself thin! It seems like every week I am trying to adjust my time better. I volunteer as well & my Mom has been sick which set me back a lot & it really hurts my sales. I took a step back at alllll the platforms I was selling on & let go of a out 3 that just weren't producing as well as the others. I wanted to "clean up" my other platforms and keep them great & it's been working. I still had things from 2022 I never re-listed & updated. I still need to go through my inventory at some point and I know there are missing items in my stores not listed etc. Let something go & it's ok. You will make up that little bit of $ somewhere else & have a little more peace of mind 💜 (still working on it myself lol, but it's getting there!)
Thank you. Yes i think it's the niches i want to specialize in that get me frustrated...I focus on one for awhile but then others get neglected...llike I'm talking flatware all the time but have been spending my time on patterns... But I know if i just picked one and specialized...i'll get bored. lol The struggle is real! Sounds like you've made some good decisions and adjustments..i hope your mom is doing better!
@pishposhreselling thank you!! I'm praying 🙏 and I list in all my categories everyday. No way I could list 25 of the same thing lol...I would feel like a machine
It all starts with the listing. Quotas are a part of good selling. It’s easy for us all to get lost in the weeds-list first and then everything else gets prioritized!
@@pishposhreselling That will be so helpful. I think the collective energies of your community comes though during that time and it feels like you're working with a room full of friends.
I found a fjall raven sweaters at VV. I didnt know much about the brand but i thought it looked to be acgood brand. One of best sales since i started in July. Still watching for more.
Question. Have you ever done a video on why you sell on the different platforms and what items do best on each one? If not, would you consider doing that?
Boundaries mostly on myself lol. I’ve always had horrible self- discipline. But I do have some strategies that I’ve gotten away from that I need to re-implement. 💛😊
I was looking forward to watching this as you know a lot about the items your pick up. I am not trying to be negative but I guess it will sound that way...I was so distracted by your face grooming, head scratching, hair flipping, eye rubbing, ear digging, nose rubbing, hair flipping, double hand face rubbing, shoulder scratching, neck rubbing etc. If you look back at the video you will see what I mean.
okie dokie. I guess when it comes down to it..youtubers are just real people who are sometimes tired when they record. (And good thing it's a small box in the corner, lol)

Definitely can see the difference when we slow down. Problem is some of my “weeds” are pretty important lol 😂
The struggle is real… We all need help! 🤣😂🤣
I know! I think sometimes it gets to me more than at other times! lol
@ I feel it. I’m in a funk and can’t snap out of it. 😂 Not the right time of year for it. I appreciate you & your videos.
@@LindaG752 time of year does make a big difference..amount of daylight, etc..
Suggestion for productivity: Can we have another challenge?
Yes!! I’ll put something together!

Nice! Hope you find more!
Question. Have you ever done a video on why you sell on the different platforms and what items do best on each one? If not, would you consider doing that?
Sure. Don’t think I’ve done a separate one.
Time blocking and boundaries
