Working on De-cluttering my Mind...
For months I had been trying to do everything at once. Work FT, while selling items on eBay as well as working on my sites here at WA. During this time I constantly found myself struggling with the feeling of being overwhelmed, simply because I was unable to concentrate on one task without another one popping into my head, dragging my attention off in a completely different direction. On many an occasion I have referred to this as "shiny object syndrome" and it wasn't until a few months ago that I finally realized that I needed to concentrate on one task until it was completed.
Those who have read my profile, or who have talked to me on the chat know that I try to balance, life, work, WA and selling on eBay all in a days work. While I wanted to be able to concentrate solely on my work here at WA, the clutter of eBay stuff that resides in my office, attic and other areas of my home kept dragging me away, preventing me from getting any work done on my sites. My mind told me I needed to write article content, but the clutter in my mind that had been caused by all the physical clutter, prevented me from formulating a train of thought, even though it was a subject I know a lot about.
That is why I had made the decision to concentrate on de-cluttering. While it has taken me away from making progress here at WA, it is something that had to be addressed sooner rather than later. I found I could no longer balance everything at once simply because it always left me feeling like I hadn't accomplished anything at all.
Its been just over a month and for the first time I finally feel like I am starting to make progress on something. That I finally have the chance to knock something off my to-do list once and for all. I just hope I will done with it sooner rather than later so I can finally get back to concentrating on the key to a successful and profitable future, my training here at WA.
Good luck with your de-cluttering and hope you get back to IM-ing quickly
