Having a clear desk policy at the end of each working day... I like it ! Tidy desk, tidy mind. Also another healthy habit is to not still be in your pyjamas while working at home, not good for the mental health. You've also got Patch now to keep you company on your 45 minute daily walks!! Great video thanks Mel.
Yes!! I agree with the PJ'S! I wear my workout leggings most days as it makes me feel like going out for my walking and I have my active shoes on. I notice when I wear my Ugg boots I also walk around at such a slower pace then in my sneakers! Tidy desk and work space makes a huge difference in so many ways. I hope I can keep this room clean! Thanks for watching as always Ian
@@backfromburnout proper walking shoes too. Mel you are great. I love your Videos. I feel like you are talking just to me. We are in hard lockdown now into week 15, can only go 5klms. It is so soul destroying. At least spring is here. You may need an air con. I love your new shed. How many sales have you had?
@@deborahmeier6836 Thank you so much, I feel like I'm talking to my friends when I make the video's so if you feel like I'm talking at you in that way then that's exactly what I want!
Thank you so much for watching! Ohh lockdown is really hard, I hope you are going ok and fingers crossed it wont be for too much longer! Bring on Christmas with family and friends hopefully xx
I sell stamps on eBay and have had the same routine for years. I get up whenever the dog wakes me to be let out. I put seed in the bird feeder then come in to smoke, drink coffee and bird watch while trying to get awake. I don't have a computer so I go to the library to print paperwork for outgoing orders that I put out for the mailman. With that done I lounge in the chair or bed with my phone checking eBay for anything worth buying, check my stuff on seller hub, check email and answer messages. Then afternoon nap time. As I try to drift off I watch stamp or eBay videos. In the evening I go back to the library to list my 8 items so I don't go past the 250 free ones. I do this pretty much every day. I can't understand why so little gets done!
Like you I don't work weekends. I have days where I can list 100s and other days hardly any but just keep scheduling ahead. Tuesday I run a toddler group and then decided to come home and go back to bed. No guilt as had listings going live
Thank you so much, he is so cute! One of the benefits of lockdown is I have many hand here helping to train him while he is little! I actually think it's the best time we could have got a puppy :)
It is so hard for me to have a routine. I have to get my son to school by 7:30. Then Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I get a 45 minute walk in, then I pack my orders, start taking pictures, go pick up my son at 11:30, drop off packages, take more pictures, steam items, clean area, do some listings, clean something in the house, dinner, bathtime, and bed time. Tuesday and Thursday are days I volunteer from 8-12, so that schedule gets mixed up a bit with shipping going out later in the day. Of course, I have to keep my husband's work schedule in mind. He's a firefighter, so his shifts are 24-hours. If he's off, he'll pick up our son so I can keep going with what I'm doing and shipping just goes out later. He's also the cook, so I don't have to worry about food. But if he's working and I'm volunteering then I have to leave an hour early to pick him up and then I have to remember to feed the child (which is hard since I forget to feed myself most days). Those are also the days I get most of my pictures taken since we both use the back room and it becomes a huge mess while I'm photographing. I also have ADHD, so I not only get distracted easily, but there are days when I experience my Mid-Day Crash. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to prevent that, but when it happens, I'm out for several hours. So I also have to plan my day around the potential of being out of commission for 2-3 hours. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's 2:30 in the afternoon, my husband is at work, and my son needs his fifth snack of the day.
I try to shop 20 hours a week, photograph & list 20 hours a week. I try to increase my net listings by 100 each month on top of replacing what sold. I'm selling about 120 items a month, so it's definitely some work. I'm monitoring the lockdown in Australia and I'm incredulous of the tyranny in your country. We're praying for Australia. PS I'm jealous of your shelves!
It will change each week but I think making the habit of resetting it every Monday and planning out the week and then actually sticking to it!! At the moment I’ve just been wandering in the shed doing anything but also nothing LOL
@@backfromburnout Me too ! I have so much footage for youtube video I just need to put it together! I've been having a bit of Tummy issues and that is effecting my mood and energy 🙃
@@ButterflyHustles I find if I try and do other tasks on video days then I end up working on the videos still at midnight and I don’t like that. So I think allowing dedicated RUclips only days is better for me and being prepared so I have listings scheduled is imperative. Because really, unless I want to work 7 days a week I need to squeeze enough eBay tasks into only a few days. I hope your tummy feels better soon. Get well gorgeous ❤️🦋
We never listen to audio books or music on our morning exercise especially in Spring - too many glorious sensory things to listen to and see. Case in point - we saw a foal being born and taking its first steps - bloody gorgeous. Tip - wait until Aldi get E-bikes on sale again. You still need to pedal but they do get you motivated to get out and about on them and you end up going much further on them lol.
Oh wow, thats awesome, a baby foul! I do like hearing the birds also outside. In my new house there are soooo many more birds as it's an older suburb so much more established. I also quite enjoy the audio books when I'm batching photos. I find that a great time to listen to something long (or a really good playlist of music). Thanks for watching as usual guys, I appreciate your continued support of my channel x
Yes! Thank you! I am trying to be inside by 5pm but editing days often go longer when I try and do eBay those days also. I am hoping having dedicated RUclips days now that wont happen as much. Patch is a beautiful little boy, we are all in love with him!
Absolutely tactics I need to adopt. Few people realize that being your own boss" means you are limited to the consistency you display on yir own initiative.
Yes!! When there is no boss to hold you accountable it's hard not to lose focus. It's easy to get distracted and waste time during the work days. And then we end up working 7 days a week trying to do everything we need to do! Good luck Dave, grab yourself a whiteboard! :)
Hi, I had no idea it would be such a pleasure to view you in your new SheShed - so much more pleasant - and also a subtle reminder of always looking to better one's life. I think your routine is great - love the well rounded aspect of it: walking, water, joy - not just work work work. I need to run out and get a white board Lol!!
Oh thank you! That's really nice to hear the feedback, thank you. You would think drinking water would just come naturally but I still struggle everyday to drink as much as I should. I need constant reminders for the simple things. I'm off to drink some water now ha ha. Thank you for watching and yes, go grab an awesome whiteboard!
I agree! The natural light is gorgeous! As far as the water, I have a 64 ounce jug with straw that I drink from and I find that it helps me chug it down. Then again, I love water. lol
Love the puppy. sheep dog I think. If so high energy, take him with you on your walks. One thing Im so grateful for is that working from home I spend so much less money than when I commuted for work.
Hes gorgeous, he is a Border Collie so will have lot's of energy. I can't wait to take him on my walks, he needs to have all his vet shots first so has to wait a few more weeks. Oh it's so good working from home, I love it and am so grateful to be back here. I just have to find my new daily routine in this space as it's so different then what I was used to.
I like your plan. I have been using a white board to keep track of listings and sales. I like building in a daily routine. I have a teenager and trying to build on a new piece of property, so I think amongst the craziness, a good foundation would be good. I will be reading other comments to see what others do for ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.. I think I will start right now taking the dogs for a walk... Patches is adorable!! Congratulations on the new family member.
That's a great idea to keep track of sales/listings - putting anything in front of yourself as a daily reminder can help build a routine. I can't wait until Patch can join me on my walks once he has all his vet shots. He will push me on the days I start to feel lazy and I know once I go do the walk I ALWAYS feel better for doing it. It's just about making it happen! Thank you for watching!
I understand, it's a constant battle especially when you're your own boss and have no one to tell you what to do. But having routine makes a huge difference to productivity. Thank you for watching!
Great update Mel, good luck with the routine. We have been having really lovely Autumn weather here in UK - my favourite time of the the year as not too hot. I am always mindful to be grateful for the beautiful country I live in and often say it out loud to myself when driving. Patch is adorable x
Awwww Patch .... Yes systems routine and water!!! And Patch. Like the white board... Simple but effective! Did I mention I like patch ?? Lol thanks for sharing Mel.... And Patch!! 🤣😂🤣
Oh I like that! I think that's kinda what I have done on the daily plan. They are the things I must try and get done - the most important for that day. All the other little daily stuff goes amongst it like sending offers, answering messages from customers etc. I like having that one must do though. Great prioritising. Thank you for sharing!
@@backfromburnout My pleasure, It works for me as I then can give myself at least one pat on the back at the end of the day. Someday's that one goal is all that gets done, but hey its a TICK :)
Hello, I understand totally about distractions LoL, By the way, I've subscribed to your channel! At this moment, I am also, trying to find a better way to inventory my listing a lot better! I need to buy a bulletin board to schedule my daily routines.
Great video as ever Mel - Just a thought on your listing routine - The eBay algorithm seems to favour sellers who list consistently, so if you could manage a bulk listing day of say 105 items, you could split this into a constant 15 new listings going live every day via scheduled listings. This would mean that you had 15 new for every day of the week including the weekends (so no work needed) and if you could do more, you could park these in your draft bank for those times when life gets in the way....
I used to feel like that but then I didn't list for 3 months and still got 1000 sales in 3mths lol. So now I don't stress if I don't list every single day but I do try and list as regularly as I can. But yes, my plan is to schedule listings for days I can't list. That's a great habit to get myself into. Having some listings in the draft box always is handy for days when other things happen last minute.
I am very much the same. I recently got made redundant after I was already working from home. I used to be more motivated and actually list when I had my job but now I find it super hard to get motivated even though I have all the time in the world to actually work on ebay now...go figure
Thanks for sharing!! I think I'm struggling as the whole family is home and nobody has a routine. I used to go and do school runs and thrift and now it's just the same old stuff everyday and so boring. I totally get it, I hope you can find that mojo to push yourself! You can do it!
I can’t listen to anything on my walks, have to stay alert in Los Angeles, always some tweeker homeless guy popping out of the bushes, have to stay aware!
Love your videos Mel. No need to answer my comment. This is my first comments as I usually watch ypu on utube on tv, so cannot comment on there. Commenting on phone. I wish you well, happiness and lots of sales. You are such a motivating person. My whole family love you. Patch is gorgeous. Happy Spring Mel.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you leaving a comment and sending me feedback! Patch is adorable - I think he needs his own RUclips channel he he
Patch would be my downfall. Love the whiteboard, going to get one of them. I hope you are out of lockdown soon but I guess then you need to include time for buying into your already busy schedule. Always room for more joy Mel! 😜
Yes, I do buy in bulk most of the time so I don't need to source as often as others but I'll just adjust each week accordingly to make sure I can fit it all in :) Isn't Patch a cutie! He is the best distraction :)
Hi, love your videos and honesty and particularly the way you are happy to admit to personal limitation and mistakes - makes it much more interesting following your journey. Can I ask how you fit in sourcing and your book-keeping. I’m doing well part-time and considering moving into full-time soon so understanding how you fit it all in consistently would really help me understand the hours I will need to work.
Thank you so much! With book keeping for example, I have a reseller friend and her and I have both agreed that on the first Tuesday of every month we will spend that entire day doing our taxes. So next week, that will be included in my schedule. Sourcing will change things up but I'll just have to schedule it in and stick to it. I'll schedule it on the days I'm already heading out in the car or probably first thing in the morning after the school runs (once school is back)
It’s so hard to find something to stick to. This worked really well for me this week. Today is Monday so time to write a new routine for this week. I’ll mix it up so it’s a little different!
Love your videos! Yes, when we were in lockdown here in the US last year it was hard. I all of a sudden had my 17 yr old, 20 yr old and husband home. What was harder my husband was on a leave from the airline industry so he wasn't working while at home. And everything was so weird...my backyard was so quiet no airplanes flying over our house, the grocery store felt like you could hear a pin drop..it was crazy. We're you on lockdown last year as well or is your 1st lockdown? Just curious...thanks for your energy... you keep me motivated!
At the moment in lockdown I cant, but each Monday I will change it and schedule in time for sourcing. I often look for bulk buys which means I don't have to shop as regularly.
Yes one of my fave books ever! We read it in a reseller bookclub I'm part of. So many great light bulb moments in that book. Whiteboard was from Kmart!
I know, I have four and it's hard. I've worked from home for almost 21 years since I had my first child so I've done it with babies all the way to teenagers. Mine are a little older now (20,19,16,11) but even though they are independent and don't need me to do anything as such for them they are still a distraction in lockdown when at home and trying to work. It's always been one of the hardest things to juggle when working from home. x

Fantastic plan kiddo GO GET IT !! 😘
That's the plan! Thanks Mandy!
Great video! If you haven’t read it, Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod is a great read/listen.
Good tips!
My board would say : breakfast, snack, snack , lunch , snack 2nd lunch 😂
Hi, love your videos and honesty and particularly the way you are happy to admit to personal limitation and mistakes - makes it much more interesting following your journey. Can I ask how you fit in sourcing and your book-keeping. I’m doing well part-time and considering moving into full-time soon so understanding how you fit it all in consistently would really help me understand the hours I will need to work.
Thank you so much! With book keeping for example, I have a reseller friend and her and I have both agreed that on the first Tuesday of every month we will spend that entire day doing our taxes. So next week, that will be included in my schedule. Sourcing will change things up but I'll just have to schedule it in and stick to it. I'll schedule it on the days I'm already heading out in the car or probably first thing in the morning after the school runs (once school is back)
Lets go Mel ❤
Yes Jeff! Hope you're well!! x
Where can I buy this planner. Thank you so much for the video!
Kmart
Who doesnt want to feel joy every single day 🎵🎵🎷🎺🎸🎹🎸🎺🎷🎵
He he! Yes!! I know I do! :)
Love Patch, and your board. Where did you get the board? I know where I can get a dog. xx
He's so cute!! White board is just from KMart! It's awesome, the best whiteboard planner I have found so far!
Going to get me one of those...but no more dogs for us. He's GAWJOUS!!!🐕🐕
This is my biggest problem. I can’t create a consistent routine.
It’s so hard to find something to stick to. This worked really well for me this week. Today is Monday so time to write a new routine for this week. I’ll mix it up so it’s a little different!
Enjoy the videos,Mel :)
Thank you 😁I appreciate the feedback!
omg puppy!!!!!!
He's so cute!!!
Love your videos! Yes, when we were in lockdown here in the US last year it was hard. I all of a sudden had my 17 yr old, 20 yr old and husband home. What was harder my husband was on a leave from the airline industry so he wasn't working while at home. And everything was so weird...my backyard was so quiet no airplanes flying over our house, the grocery store felt like you could hear a pin drop..it was crazy. We're you on lockdown last year as well or is your 1st lockdown? Just curious...thanks for your energy... you keep me motivated!
Great video. Love your whiteboard - where did you buy it? It looks perfect for my needs.
Thank you, I bought it at K Mart! It's the best one I have found and I've tried quite a few of them!
@@backfromburnout Thanks!
@@cherrytreeblossom8475 No worries, anytime. I hope they still have them as I got this before lockdown!
When do you shop or restock
At the moment in lockdown I cant, but each Monday I will change it and schedule in time for sourcing. I often look for bulk buys which means I don't have to shop as regularly.
Atomic habits there missy. Where did u fine the whiteboard plz xx cheri
Yes one of my fave books ever! We read it in a reseller bookclub I'm part of. So many great light bulb moments in that book. Whiteboard was from Kmart!
@@backfromburnout lovely. Thanks for info and constant motivation. My ebay has moved from occassional to farely reg sales. Xxx cheri
@@dawn.cheripaul3168 That's awesome Cheri! I'm so pleased to hear that. Thank you for always watching my videos x
Well, my only daily routine is that I have coffee 10 minutes after I wake up....All kidding aside, do you have a designated day for sourcing books?
I noticed your computer, what is it and why do you like it? Is that a wireless keyboard?
whatever time you feel like it ? lol - what does the boss say ?
I am the boss ha ha
@@backfromburnout FURE SURE 😁😁😄🐊
@@PatDees he he
what breed is your puppy? so adorable!
He is a Border Collie! He has such a beautiful nature already, we got him from a beautiful breeder.
My fellow pasta 🍝 lover !!! Yum 😋 xx

Love that! I read that book years and years ago but I should read that one again, it was a great book! That book is my brother's favourite!
@@backfromburnout 👍👍
Need professional sourcing manager ?
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
❤️❤️❤️
7 weeks!?!?!?! That is terrible.
Try to have routine with kids😹😹😹
I know, I have four and it's hard. I've worked from home for almost 21 years since I had my first child so I've done it with babies all the way to teenagers. Mine are a little older now (20,19,16,11) but even though they are independent and don't need me to do anything as such for them they are still a distraction in lockdown when at home and trying to work. It's always been one of the hardest things to juggle when working from home. x
Your pasta eating technique needs work!
Ha ha, I’m so lady like 😂😂 It tasted great though! He he
