Right time to step up and accept my public humiliation.

*bows head in resignation*

I said failure wasn’t an option and there’s a week left in the month and yeaaah not going to happen. I’m talking of course about the long neglected Painting Layers of Love. I must have been having an optimistic moment BUT I might be having one again *braces self*

It’s energy-sapping hot so I must be crazy but I just time blocked my calendar. I’ve done this before (to no avail). This time I’m following the “Rule of 3 system” that I watched a video on last night. Nothing has done the trick so far in getting me productive but I live in hope.

It was a very good video actually. I felt like it was talking to me when it said things like – “don’t try and do too much at once” because yeaaah. When I decide I want to ‘do better’ I tend to go all-in 0-lightspeed (forget 0-60) and so predictably it falls apart.

This time I’m just going to try and build 1 habit at a time. The first one I picked to instil in myself is “review a fic at least 3x a week” because I’ve been so rubbish at reading and I feel terrible about it.

I’m also only going to look at one fanfic this week. I’m going to go over the edits the always-wonderful Marie sent me for this oneshot I wrote. I may even *gasp* post the thing. It’s not Painting Layers of Love but hey any forward motion at this point is welcome and knocking something small off the list seems sensible.

Next Monday I’ll review what I managed this week and then plan the upcoming week. We’ll see what happens. *fingers crossed*
