March 2023 was a weekly mess of quiet preperation followed by a frenetic activity followed by prep followed by activity. I left the month almost as exhauted as when I entered it.
Highlights from March 2023
Spent the first week trying to get ahead for a writing workshop, and the seond trying to get ahead for a week’s vacation time. I wasn’t as successful at getting ahead as I’d hoped. It just made me think the nature of burn out, and attempts to overcome it.
I also sorted out my summer and winter wardrobes, I did think about
I did my bit for read an ebook week with a bunch of short romances, so I’ve now read 40 books of my 100 book reading goal – 11 ahead of schedule.
• One Sweet Christmas • Tango Love • Ghosts & Garlands • The Cottage Next Door • The Rumba • The Widow’s Auction • Style Me Sexy • In Her Dreams • One Masked Night • Dear Stranger • A Family Affair • The Kissing Season • A Twist of Fate • Kinfolk Islands • Inside Your Japanese Garden •
Goals
There’s no change on the kanban boards. As I mentioned last month, I’ve found the amount of stuff that needs doing dispiriting, especially in light of the day-to-day business I’ve been trying to get ahead of, so there’s no actual change in the boards.
| Goals | SCORE | NOTES |
| Finish some of my long-term outstanding items. | 4.35% | I started with 23 sticky notes on the board, with one completed. |
| Rebrand my businesses. | 15.79% | 19 sticky notes, but I know there are more to add as time goes by. Currenlty working on 2, with 3 completed. |
| Consolidate the online stores. | 12.82% | 78 tasks, though again, I know there’s more coming as I fninsh my back log of stories. Some of it requires reformatting the existing books. |
| Revitalise the websites. | 0.00% | Haven’t fully quantified this as some of it is waiting on the brading, and some comes our of consolidating the stores. |
While March 2023 has been an unusual month for doing, I’ve though more about how I could better adapt my usual way of planning to deal with the uncertainty; there’s going to be a lot of that about for at least the next quarter, if not the rest of the year.
More on that in the Q1 review, and Q2 plan.
