I was stuck in that cycle with starting my business. I was expecting certain sales and reactions but they didn't come. And with all these ideas going around in my head, I was getting nothing done.
So I turned off the computer, went to Starbucks with my iPod, put on my fave worship tunes and started writing down ideas for marketing and blogging. As well as daily goals ... And this week has been much more productive

You know Susan, that's how I used to start my day, with really loud praise music in my convertible. This morning, driving to Starbucks I realized that's what was missing, that time of complete shut out with the Lord. Thanks for repeating it to me!
Um... I'll let you know when I get out of this latest one??? ;-) After a week of babysitting my BFF's 2 yr old... I'm totally unproductive this week!
I came here to find out how others do it. I'm a perfectionist and even chew my nails until they are all even...
My head buzzes all the time. I do find that I work best if I can find some private quiet time to get with God and hear myself think (I am such an auditory learner!)
I do something completely out of the ordinary for me. Gets all of that static out of my system.

I understand. I am a teacher with summer's off. When I don't have to be working- I don't to anything. Literally- I sit on my couch all day long which is great for the first week but then I get depressed especially when I can see the dirt house filling up around me.
I am trying small steps this summer. I am gtting up early and showering to jumpstart my day. Then I am choosing one area of my house to clean. Today I organized my closet and put laundry away. Tomorrow, I will do the floors. So far it's working.
AAAARRRRR! (Pirate stuff for you...)
Sometimes it seems like I live in a constant state of unproductivity, but I believe that has something to do with two preschoolers. I don't know what I'll say when they go to school...
Right now, I'm struggling with the lack of time for creativity. I'm getting the house stuff done, but by the end of the day, I'm too tuckered out to feed my spirit with some artistic endeavors. And that stinks. But it's just a season, I think, in my life. That's what I'm telling myself.
I'm impressed you got to Chapter 4, with all the stuff that was complicating. Atta girl!
