I hear you on focus being an elusive beast. I believe in you. You can do it! *waves pom-poms*

Kandybar : Even if you can't get it in this month, you can still work on it for longer (unless you're joining the official challenge). Mine might take me a long time. I'm still trying to figure out a few elements but I have a sketch of one of the maps. galactic-pirates : Thank you! Yes, focus is gone. I really need it to come back. Honestly, I think a lot of it has to deal with stress. August 12th - 18th
- Writing: Write 500 words a day: 1/7 | Work on maps
- Reading: Finish TBR for the week
- Art: Cartographers' Guild map challenge ideas: Gaslamp | Skypunk [In progress]| Finish Sketchbook [only 3 spreads left!]
- Chores:
Meal prep | Laundry | Organize bathroom - Health: Workout regularly| Check blood pressure: 0/7 | Check blood sugar 2 hours after meals: 0/7
- Work: Newsletter | ASQs: 3/5 | Reorganize cabinets
- Socials: Schedule post
- Other:
Don't forget to call people on their birthdays (my dad and the triplets)
Okay so this week kind of sucked...these last few weeks kind of sucked so I'm dialing back my goals a bit. I got some writing done but not much. I finished a chapter though and I went through my outline and fixed a few things.
August 19th - 25th
- Writing: Write one chapter | Work on maps
- Reading: Finish TBR for the month: 0/3 books
- Art: Cartographers' Guild map challenge ideas: Gaslamp | Skypunk | Finish Sketchbook [only 3 spreads left!]
- Chores: Meal prep | Laundry | Change shower liner
- Health: Workout x3: 0/3| Check blood sugar 2 hours after meals: 0/7
- Work: Portfolios: 0/1 | Professional Development
Okay, I need to get some of these things done. Like the portfolios. I'm so behind. Every time we get portfolio time at work, mine gets canceled due to someone calling off and us being slightly understaffed but whatever. I'll have to take these home one day and finish them.

Not my best but I did write by hand all week and finished writing the chapter. I just need to finish typing it up. And I read all of the books on my TBR for the month so now I get to read whatever I want. At least until September rolls around. I have a lot to read then.
Aug 26th - Sept 1st- Writing: write 1 chapter

- Art: Finish sketchbook spread: Isopods | Maps (pick one): skypunk | gaslamp | book related

My goals for next week. I can do portfolio stuff since I'm ahead in lesson plans. I have planning time on Monday. Hopefully...maybe. If someone calls off I won't.

If the portfolios are for work, then don’t they have to give you time to do it or pay you overtime? Sounds like they are taking advantage *hugs* good luck with everything! I’m thinking of you.

galactic-pirates : The portfolios are for work and I won't work on them until they give me time to work on them and they know that. Sometimes I will take them home to assemble because I have more space and it doesn't take long at all. But the time to work on the other things is something I do at work. Usually at nap time if one of my kiddos doesn't wake up...everything wakes them up. It's annoying. September 9th - 15th- Writing: Work on Project Chaos
- Reading: Read books for readathon: 0/7
- Art: Draw something. It doesn't have to be pretty
- Chores: Meal prep | Laundry | Put together bookshelves | Deep clean bathroom | Clean workspaces
- Health: Check blood sugar at least once a day | Check blood pressure | Walk or exercise for 30 mins-1hr
- Work: Portfolios | Organize classroom | Change toys |Try not to be grumpy about the changes at work
- Other: Work on morning and night routines
I'm trying to reset parts of my life. Depression hit early this year so I'm going to have to go through my usual methods of not letting it take over my life. Cleaning is probably the biggest one. I'm also going to have to work on what I eat but that's for next week. I already have my meals for this week. I think I'm going to have to find someone to hold me accountable for working out because I'm terrible at it.

galactic-pirates : Thank you! Depression is tough. I mostly just get unmotivated to do anything and just stay in bed whenever I can. My spaces get very cluttered as well but I'm getting annoyed with all of my mess so that's a good sign that I'm starting to come out of it. September 9th - 15th- Writing:
Work on Project Chaos - Reading: Read books for readathon: 2/7
- Art: Draw something. It doesn't have to be pretty
- Chores
: Meal prep | Laundry | Put together bookshelves | Deep clean bathroom | Clean workspaces - Health:
Check blood sugar at least once a day | Check blood pressure | Walk or exercise for 30 mins-1hr - Work: Portfolios |
Organize classroom | Change toys |Try not to be grumpy about the changes at work - Other: Work on morning and night routines
I was in a bit of a reading slump this week so hopefully I pull myself out of it. September 16th - 22nd- Writing: Work on Project Chaos
- Reading: Read books for readathon: 2/7
- Art: Draw something. It doesn't have to be pretty
- Chores: Meal prep | Laundry | Put together bookshelves |
- Health: Check blood sugar at least once a day | Check blood pressure | Walk or exercise for 30 mins-1hr
- Work: Portfolios | Professional Development
- Other: Work on morning and night routines
A lot of changes are happening at work. I get my assistant back (thank goodness) and I'm getting so many new children in my classroom which is awesome because we need it. I also need to focus on professional development this coming weekend. I have about 12hrs worth of classes saved for me to get through and then I should be done for the year unless I get sick again during our PD day....I sure hope not. We are volunteering again this year and that's my favorite part of the whole day.

I’ve been in a reading slump for like a month. It is so easy to just not sit down and read isn’t it? I don’t know where the time goes. Project Chaos sounds really intriguing! I mean chaos! Haha sounds fun. Well done with everything you have done, it is really hard when the brain is being difficult, so you are doing great. Good luck next week! *waves pom-poms*
