On with the 21-Day Productivity Challenge! Short backstory: I quit my job last year. I didn’t realize at the time that I was quitting to become a creative blogger…I just knew corporate life was no longer a lifestyle I wanted, even if it meant making some cuts and flying by the seat of my pants. I'm good at getting moving and staying busy, but I have NO routine. This is a problem. My routine consists of waking up when I want to wake up (but no sleeping more than 8 hours)...then I eat what I want to eat…and then it’s on to doing what I want to do. Rad, right? It really is awesome. I consider myself very fortunate to make my own schedule…but my routine needs some serious structure. I have a million ideas and I MUST start them all immediately. I want to do every project right now. So I become paralyzed and mostly work all day and complete nothing. There, I said it. WELL, LUCKY ME… the first challenge of the 21-Day Productivity Mission is to revamp my morning routine. Surely by revamp they mean START a morning routine. Mayi and April over at Connecting The Gaps shared some of their morning rituals…which include herbal teas and green drinks and lemony water and yoga. As much as I would love to be that person, I mostly accept that I’m not. Yet? If I could find a way to make biscuits and gravy (with a side of mimosas) work for me, I surely would! But since I’m open to new things, I’m going to try something Mayi suggested in last night’s video chat. Wheatgrass. Um…can you say barf? I’m making this small, gross addition to my morning routine for two reasons:
So I'm getting on the Green Train tomorrow (really!)…because today I looked all over for this wheatgrass stuff and couldn’t find it. I will NOT take that as a sign. In following with the challenge goals, this is what my morning looked like. I will continue implementing some of these things going forward.
NOW I GET TO PAINT THE REST OF THE DAY! And that's what it's really about. This is what I'm working on. I'll show my progress tomorrow!

Wheatgrass. I tried that one time......stayed with it for awhile too. I don't remember why I quit. I probably just ran out of it.

"Wheatgrass...can you say barf?" -- mwahahaha. I actually really love the taste, but you know I'm weird. Good for you for getting some green stuff in you, drum circles ARE next. 7/3/2014 03:18:03 pm
Thanks for the shout out! No kidding - I love your voice and I can't wait to read your next entry!
