Just Create Weekend!

[silvercat17]

 What have you gotten done this week? Have you done anything fun lately? What are you working on this weekend? Have you seen anything cool that you'd like to share a link to? Got anything new for sale?

I haven't had a super productive week, but I'm doing okay. This weekend I'm looking to open a Redbubble store.

Got most of the soap wrapped for Battlemoor (the rest needs to sit another week). Got the tent poles mostly done; I need another couple of long bolts, which I'll be getting Tuesday. I made a double batch of breakfast bars (after not getting round to it for like three days) & a batch of burrito fillings.

Today I took the cats for a little wander outside cos I was fuzz-brained. They all had fun & I'm a bit clearer-headed. I'm gonna be trying the no-knead bread recipe from Bread, Toast, Crumbs this afternoon, working on some sewing, & possibly making another batch of food for leftovers, but I'm not sure about the latter. We shall see.

Yay for getting things done! \o/
And best of luck doing more of the things later! *\o/*

[kellan_the_tabby]

SO MANY THING *flop*

thank

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yay Redbubble shop! Potential income is a Good!

[seerofrage]

I finished an art thing for someone yesterday! Hopefully they like it C:

Otherwise have had my hands full caring for my kitties this week, after one hurt himself last weekend. I am planning another art thing, although probably won't get to that today; if I can look for and compile some references for it today, I'll call that a win!

Best of luck setting up the Redbubble shop btw! That sounds super cool, what would you be selling on it? O:

[kellan_the_tabby]

YAY an ART

oh no, I hope your hurt kitty is recovering okay

little steps is a Good Thing, getting references together is a good way to be set up for tomorrow -- the only reason I'm managing the bread today is I did the research yesterday & got all the ingredients out.

[seerofrage]

Kitty is doing just fine! ty <3

Yes! Little steps C:
Hope your bread turns out great and tasty~

[kellan_the_tabby]

[seerofrage]

[kellan_the_tabby]

[seerofrage]

That's awesome! :D \o/

[silvercat17]

I'm going to mostly do queer pride stuff, probably focusing on aromantic and asexual stuff. But also some art prints.

[kellan_the_tabby]

ACE PRIDE ALL THE THINGS

[seerofrage]

Oooh, that's really cool! Ace & aro pride things! <3

[lb_lee]

Oh man, I finished the rough advance review ebook copy of All in the Family! All that's left for me to do on it is inking the first chapter! So I'm pretty excited about that.

[seerofrage]

Oooh, that's really cool omg! :D
Good luck getting the last bit done!

[lb_lee]

Thanks! My health shat the bed on me, delaying that, but it's only fifteen pages! I BELIEVE IN ME! *fist pump*

I've gotten less done this week because the Four Job Fiesta started last weekend. I spent all day on Sunday watching The Run, and then have been playing my own run since.

I did finish a blanket square, and am slowly working on another, along with a shawl. I had a goal of finishing the shawl this month but I don't think it will happen, so I need to finish another project instead for my crafting tournament. It will probably be a hat.

I also used considerable mental energy this week over contemplating streaming video games myself. I wouldn't be in it for the money or fame. I just want a small stream where I can practice being social. I think it would be good for me because I have some bad social anxiety. I still haven't completely made up my mind, however, due to fear.

[kellan_the_tabby]

...okay, that fiesta sounds like fun! I don't play a lot of computer games but I want to play more than I do now.

Also I like the idea of streaming as a low-stakes way to practice being social, cos people are kinda terrifying.

[althea_valara]

The Fiesta is great fun! This is my fifth year playing, and I've always had a blast. It's a good way to play Final Fantasy V for the first time. Since there are over 20 jobs in the game it can get overwhelming with the abundance of choices, so the Fiesta is a nice way to combat that.

Replying to myself--i forgot to mention I released a new knitting pattern last week! It's the Morrigan Doll Clothes, inspired by Morrigan from Dragon Age and sized to fit my Heartilly Doll pattern. Here is my Designer page on Ravelry:

Well, I've gotten my email down to less than a hundred (mostly old patreon posts that I need to read). In doing so, I discovered a blog post about webhosting and it turns out my website host has gotten awful, which clears up why the ftp stuff wasn't working right last time I tried. So I need to look into that and maybe change hosts.

I've made a Redbubble account, but I need to make an avatar and cover art for it and while I'm doing that I should do the same for Patreon

I have harassed the cats and filled the birdbath

I have added a bunch of to-dos to Habitica, which is LIKE accomplishing things, right?

[kellan_the_tabby]

SO MANY THING

& yes putting things on a list is a vital part of doing the things

[silvercat17]

My problem is that I never end up checking the stuff OFF the list.

[kellan_the_tabby]

hmm. do you do the things but not check them off? or do you forget to look at the list, or otherwise have trouble with that part?

(feel free to ignore/tell me to bugger off if advice is not a good thing)

[silvercat17]

I don't look at the list. I'll ask my ADHD coach to stay on me.

And I end up having a half dozen lists on different notepads and apps (I should move the Habitica stuff to Trello maybe? so it's with the rest of the lists?)

[kellan_the_tabby]

Sounds like a good plan. I had to fart around for YEARS before I found a way to keep track of stuff that actually WORKED for me, so I'm always up for talking about it, & I've gotten some of the best ideas from fellow weird-brain folk.

[silvercat17]

I listen to Kevin Sonney's Productivity Alchemy podcast (I was a guest on it too) and a lot of the people he interviews have ADHD. Lots of ideas and SO MUCH support.

I've got a daily to-do list printed out next to my computer in a picture frame so I can use dry erase markers on it. I can only add FOUR things, which often stay for a few days.

Then I've got Habitica for more immediate things and my Trello kanban boards for longer term things.

And this community is SO MUCH HELP for me. Having the support and cheerleading makes a huge difference.

[kellan_the_tabby]

UGH i wish i could do podcasts, my auditory processing is shite tho.

The rest of your structure sounds kinda like mine -- I keep a notebook next to my keyboard for the day's tasks (& also shopping lists, I can't do em on my phone), I print out a weekly thing with spaces for each day + whatever I'm working on that week, & then I keep my big list-of-things in Workflowy. I like the dry-erase board, though, I might try something like that for the weekly thing.

& OMG YES, this space is helping SO MUCH.

I commissioned fic and ended up realizing that describing what you want and don't want is a big job that's important to do well. (I'm still working through that as far as art goes...)

In lieu of Six-Sentence Sunday I'm hoping to post a couple of short genfics involving my rapidly-multiplying group of OCs for The Dragon Prince. I almost never post fic on DW lately, so I have to remind myself how to do headers and cuts and stuff.

[lonespark]

Oh, and I made a bio/blog description on Pillowfort. It's not comprehensive, but usually I try to think up something comprehensive and therefore never post anything.

[silvercat17]

Go you!

[lonespark]

Thanks!

I didn't end up closing the deal with the fic cuz I was tired & now I'm busy, but I'm getting there.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Half a thing at a time!
