I’m stymied
I have just an hour of babysitting left and I’m sitting here totally unsure of what to do. I’m trying to do one creative thing everyday (I already worked on an essay idea I’m trying to flesh out) and one career thing everyday. I’m stuck on the career thing.
I know I want to redesign this site so my blog isn’t on the front page (the feed will remain the same so that won’t be a big deal) and make it more professional so I can direct my dawnfriedman.com address here. But I don’t want to get that started yet. We’re giving Get Them Blogging a rest for the holidays since everyone is swamped. Brett’s working on setting up our LLC anyway.
OK, I’m off to read some other smart useful things that will inspire me somehow.
Yes, reading! Always a brilliant strategy.
Hey, I loved your intro essay at anti-racist parent, by the way, though I never managed to comment there to tell you so. Especially the idea that you’ve been working at being an anti-racist parent since Noah was born. Makes me smile.
dawn — not sure how reliable your email is, so is your mailing address still “sweet”? i can’t remember when you moved.
Hi Dawn!
I am new to your blog, and I like it!
I also work from home, have been for over 5 years, and I know exactly how it is.
I do tons of writing for my business, I am a professional life and business coach, and what helps me is music. Music fires off these unstoppable bright ideas. But the trick to getting these bright ideas down is, I have to be near my computer. I have been typing so long that I am having trouble using a pen and paper! (Ha!)
Many Blessings to you and yours!
Coach K!
Hi, Dawn, long time no comment.
Are you wanting to keep the creativity to writing? Or other things as well?
Sometimes when I’m creatively stumped (which is often since I’m really not creative at all), doing something completely different, particularly a hands-on, activity helps. I like beading, for example, so I’ll drag out the beads. Or needlework. Something like that.
