RE: How To Suck At Being Self Employed!
Once again, I'm finding your post completely relatable, timely for my current life moment, and super on point. Thank you!
I'm going to take the opportunity, as the boss of myself, to rate my employee (me) in the areas your post outlines:
AVOID SNACKING: Fail (though for good reason)
I seem to be fully in the Obsessive Phase, and though the points you raise about streamlingin time are completely accurate, if I were to limit my snack intake, I might shrivle up into malnourished nothingness, because I'm hardly remembering to eat half of the time.... so maybe I've taken this same issue to the other extreme....
STRUCTURE:
Yeeeeeeah.... this is the area in which I need to regulate my approach the most (is it ironic that this is the overarching regulation area?).... I'm a total link-clicker-wanderer, and I'm constantly diving into something new super in depth instead of focusing on the project at hand. Though, with this awareness, I have been improving slightly each day...
Have a Routine:
See above..... hahahaha :) I'm learning to reward myself, as in yes the dishes need to be done so I'll wash and watch You Tube as my coffee is brewing, and then it's into the Captain Seat (read: orange velvet armchair from which I orchestrate my universe).
Leave the House:
Oh. Yeah. Ummmmm..... sometimes I go outside on the deck....?
I might be overindulging my inner hermit with the excuse that I'm "Working From Home".
Luckily I have dogs that remind me to get the F&%$ OUTSIDE because they don't have the patience for my Cave Dwelling tendencies...
