NaBloPoMo Complete!
NaBloPoMo is ovah!!! I did it! Posted everyday this month. The past couple of days, I thought I wasn’t going to make it. But it worked out.
As I’d hoped, NaBloPoMo has helped me get back on track with my blogging. If I can blog everyday for a month, I can certainly blog twice a week.
And that’s my new goal for a regular blogging schedule. Twice a week, on Wednesday and Sunday. I may veer from that if something unexpected comes up, or if I am away on vacation. Traveling more is a big goal for next year! I should be able to schedule posts ahead of time if needed, so hopefully it won’t be an issue.
I started using the Notion app recently and it’s really helping with keeping track of my goals. It’s free and I’m enjoying it more than expected. I know I mention YouTube all the time, but lots of vloggers use Notion. Starting this past October, I tried it as well. Actually, I use the app on my phone and the desktop version too.
Many of the vloggers also do a 5:00am morning routine, but I’m not there yet. Who knows though? Maybe I’ll try it for a week and see what happens.
So far I’m just using Notion to do a monthly reset. It’s quite useful in letting me define short and long term goals by reflecting on the prior month. What worked. What didn’t. Then deciding how I can tweak things to work better for the upcoming month.
December starts tomorrow, so it’s time for another monthly reset.
Winding Down
So NaBloPoMo is winding down. This month flew by.
There were so many things that I wanted to write about that just didn’t happen. Like bringing back The Chowdah Project! The places I went out to eat weren’t chowder places though. It will still happen, just not by tomorrow.
I went to a funeral this afternoon, so today was rather melancholy. And my mind is just not focused. It’s so dry in here with the heat on, so I’ve been boiling water to help.
Just a second ago, I noticed that something smelled like it was burning. Yup, the pan of water was burning. Well, I was too preoccupied with lingering tech issues that I hadn’t noticed.
Anyway, for my own safety, I’ll just end this post here.
Catching The Light
I happened to look up at the exact right moment to catch the light making a beautiful shadow of my chair. It was right around the golden hour and was gone so fast.
Within a couple of minutes of taking this picture, the light was gone. So glad that I caught it!
