Last week was all about list making. I hadn't been making many lists lately, but in an effort to get more accomplished during my unstructured days while unemployed, I returned to my tried and true organisation tool. I made daily lists (job search, job applications, blog, create), shopping lists (soap, shampoo), and theme-specific lists (computer-related things I need to do). It was a list extravaganza! And it worked fairly well - I got a lot of things done. There's room for improvement though - I'm still getting distracted easily and procrastinating on the not-so-fun stuff (e.g. writting yet *another* cover letter), but I'm doing alright. I did pretty well with last week's creative goals too: I made three cards, I knit almost every day and finished the knitting for the pouch, and I have come up with a general design for my blog, which admittedly is still mostly in my head, but it's a start.
I'd say it's keeping up with knitting that I'm finding the toughest. I think I need to actually schedule it into my day somehow. Hopefully I'll do better with it this week. Speaking of which, my creative goals for the week are:
- Make two Mother's Day cards
- Make a graduation card
- Knit at least 8 rows of my lacy scarf
- Sketch out the blog banner that I've dreamt up
And in non-creative goals, I'm going to keep up with my list making and schedule planning, because it's definitely helping me be more productive.
As for the visiual component for today's post, here is the retirement card I made for my father-in-law.
The inside of the card reads "...everything!" The photo is one I took of the port in Hvar Town on Hvar Island in Croatia. Thanks to The Leopard for the photo of the card itself.
And with that, I can now cross Monday blog off my list! :)
