Doing the sprints that are different lengths did not work. Limiting myself to 3 projects, and 3 goals doesn't work for me. It causes my anxiety to be higher, letting all the projects exist and be planned loosely, and working on them slowly works better. Hard deadlines of any kind don't work for me. Chronic health issues wipe me out when they flare up every month, so all my plans and goals have to allow for giant time shifts. I'm autistic, and adhd so time blocking, and scheduling what projects I will work on on each day doesn't work. I've setup the weekly hb90 lists now, and I use more of a bullet journal style to shift things around daily as my brain picks what it's willing to do. -- hydraulic for the chair might need to be replaced, amazon sells the parts for most chairs.
Ooooh! Thanks for the suggestion about the chair. It's becoming more of a problem every day. More for my own annoyance than anything else. I think one of the biggest things is finding out what does/doesn't work for you. And it's weird because sometimes those things change. The kanban board doesn't work for me now, but maybe in another 5 years I won't be able to function without it. Who knows?
I love trying new things! And I even tend to revisit things over and over because as life circumstances change, what didn't work for me at one point might work now. And vice versa.
When I watch streams for writing sprints, I still use my timer no matter how long there sprints are. I just use them as body-doubling help so I get started and keep going. All of my projects have their own planners for organizing the project, and then I have one hb90 planner for tracking weekly tasks for all projects, and then daily plan, and then daily doing lists (which change based on what I got done the previous day). I have my kaban as a weekly board, and it's in my planner, I don't interact well with the wall. I do however keep my book progress on the window so I see it every day. I'm redoing it for the new quarter. :-) Love your videos. I found one of your books. I'm enjoying it. Thanks for publishing and sharing with the world! ⚽
Thank you for reading it! I promise, more are coming soon... ish... I would love it if all my projects had their own planners, if for no other reason than to see how long it took me to work on them and what I accomplished when. That's essentially what I'm trying to accomplish with my Notion, but I go days/weeks/months without updating it too. All about balance!
⚽ My biggest issue is making plans based on the one day where everything went right and I achieved astronomical amounts of things. "I wrote 18k words in a day, once. Any day I do less than that, I'm clearly a lazy failure." It's harmful, and awful, and I'm doing my best to move past that. Or at least give myself the grace to acknowledge that sometimes IRL stuff derails my best attempts at being creative. That doesn't mean I failed. It means I need to adjust, course correct, and keep going.
This. All of this. It's such a hard balance. Sometimes I'm glad I don't remember things unless I write them down combined with the outta-sight-outta-mind method. It means that I can't remember everything I accomplished on REEEALLY good days unless I go back to any records I have of such. It's the one time it's such a blessing. Bring flexible and able to adjust is such a good theory... Even if it's sometimes difficult to put into practice.
Coughing... when I was recording Andino Andina the podbook, I needed to complete the recording before moving, but I was also recovering from the pandemonium. 3 words - breathe - 3 words - breathe cough breath - 3 words. Believe me it was a lot of work to puzzle that together and making sure tone of voice etc sounded cohesive. But I did it. Also looking around for a new way to write that suits current, low spoon, foggy head, me, that doesn't create so much editing and revising. Project paralysis is me too.
I decided to post more on TikTok, stop thinking RUclips equals book sales and I have. Made a publishing plan going forward for the next six months. Oh and I’ve decided using initials and work g romance wasn’t the right move. Sales tell me so. My kan ban board hasn’t been touched all quarter, too. I need to figure out a better system and where I want to look and track things.
@@SDHegyes well it’s hard to figure out what words to post plus what background. And I can do like five of them in a day for drafts. But I don’t feel like it correlates to sales. But I also don’t show my face on my author TT account. But I’m in the process Of changing things up and see how things go after I implement those changes/
@@SDHegyes well it’s a plan that’s in my head and haven’t shared really but also I have realized I need to step announcing publishing g plans cause they rarely work out
@@StephanieWhitson yeah... My publishing plans (for now) are: when a book is completely ready to go, I'll schedule a 2-3 month pre-order for it. Annnd that's the extent of it. Puck's Choice is the exception and that's because of its publish-versary.
Gave up on the kanban board a long time ago. Just wasn’t working for me! 🤷🏻♀️ Overhauling my planning because that has become too overwhelming right now so I’ve cut it right back to something more manageable for me. 😄
My WHOLE thing didn't work. I've had no motivation to do ANYTHING. I've been doing the bare minimum with this channel. I'm hoping that I can accomplish Kate's 100KQ4 thing so I can get the stories out of my head. It's getting cooler here (I lied, it's still 90 out) so I can get out and walk more...I need to work more on me because I'm not and just sliding down the mud hill. I'm working on something for a different channel that I've wanted to do for a while. I just need to not wait for motivation, I feel like I'm waiting for something to happen and it's just...not.

What are some things you did recently that just don’t work, and how are you handling that moving forward?
Doing the sprints that are different lengths did not work. Limiting myself to 3 projects, and 3 goals doesn't work for me. It causes my anxiety to be higher, letting all the projects exist and be planned loosely, and working on them slowly works better. Hard deadlines of any kind don't work for me.

It's all about finding what works for you, and if it doesn't no shame in trying something new!
I love trying new things! And I even tend to revisit things over and over because as life circumstances change, what didn't work for me at one point might work now. And vice versa.

I totally get that. It's rough when our bodies work against us. Here's hoping you find a solution! I wish I had an answer for you... 💙

How are you liking TikTok? I love watching tiktoks but I don't really have a desire to post them.

That's essentially the point I'm at. I'm not even really planning much outside personal life. Everything else? Winging it really.
@@SDHegyes I plan out my plots and that’s it. 😂

I'm the opposite where writing is concerned. I have to wait on the motivation or my brain clamps up, crosses its arms and says, "Nope! I dun wanna!"
I'm trying the Kanban board again. It's been a few years since I've set one up. New subscriber here! Glad to have found your channel.
Thank you for joining me! I hope the Kanban works for you. I really do love it even if it doesn't work for me and highly recommend it. 💙
