unfocused
Last week was a wishy washy mess. It, and by extension me, lacked focus. My writing lacked focus and I got little done. I have been missing The Prompt which has taken a break - come back Sara all is forgiven! I didn't realise how useful I have found Sara's prompt to get me thinking and writing. The scary story I am writing has stalled - I think I know what I want to do with the main character but I'm unsure how to get there. I have intended to re-read something I have written before, looking at picking it up again or adapting it into something useful but I've not done that either.
A few weeks ago I started a bullet journal. I was excited to see how useful I would find it after reading/watching loads of people raving about them online. I could see how people with really busy and packed lives would find a bullet journal useful but I thought that my life was too slow paced and frankly boring for it to be of much use. So without really intending to I stopped bullet journalling this week. And guess what? I've had an unfocused, less productive week! Lesson learned and the bullet journal will be back next week, focusing my time and intentions.
Sounds like a frustrating week for you. And how dare Sara go on holiday?! Hope next week is better, and that recommencing the bullet journal helps you x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
ReplyDeleteNext week will be better, the bullet journal is poised and ready! And I'm sorry Sara, you so deserve a holiday and I didn't intend to sound mean...
DeleteWe all have those weeks sometimes - when the words just don't flow and the thought process is all muddled! I hope next week is clearer for you ... and Sara and her #ThePrompt returns!
ReplyDeletePopping over from #WoTW
Felt like a head stuffed full of porridge, so anything will be better! Welcome back Sara as well!
DeleteI think we do all have weeks like that.....Hang on in there and I hope you find some focus soon x
ReplyDeleteStill frustrating when they hit though. Will endeavour to be better next week.
DeleteOh gosh it sounds like you have really had a hard time focusing of late, I hope next week will be a better one for you and a lot less frustrating!xx
ReplyDeleteThe unkind around me blame my age ... they may have a point!
DeleteSometimes and some weeks everything just goes to pot doesn't it, good luck for next week and maybe the bullet journey really does help focus the mind #wotw
ReplyDeleteI found that once the week had started to slip away I got carried off on a tide of ennui. This will not be allowed to happen next week (I hope, fingers crossed!)
DeleteI very nearly didn't do this week.. my mind was a total fog yesterday. But it's cleared today so here I am! sometimes you need to step back :)
ReplyDeleteThere should be a word for foggy mind, I suffer every now and then. Glad your focus is back, here's hoping the determination of the weekend continues into next week for me too!
DeleteI saw the video on youtube of this journal system and I can see how effective it is as it looks like list! Focus is what I am after for in the past weeks too. Hopefully you can get yours back soon =) #wotw
ReplyDeleteSome of the videos make me feel a bit inadequate - they are so awesome and creative. I'm just starting with the bullet journal and am still finding my way with it but it adds just enough focus for me. Thanks for commenting pixiedust (love that name!)
