Embracing my chaos
I have been struggling to get started this year, but I think I’m starting to make progress. Last year I tried to be more consistent in the way I worked with a nice timetable for each day so that within a week I would make, photograph and list new items. What actually happened was that I was consistently on the back foot because if something came up on one of the days of the week (something always did) I then didn’t have the prerequisites done for the following days.
I therefore decided to abandon that plan and just get some of the outstanding things from last year finished so I could start fresh this year. I have discovered that I work better in spurts (for example making a whole batch of jewellery rather than trying to do a couple pieces each week). So I’m going to work on a new plan, perhaps more like a monthly or quarterly cycle and see how that goes.
In the mean time I have photographed several pairs earrings that have been waiting for months so that I can finally make them available for sale. I have chosen a small selection that I will keep for my newsletter subscribers to have first dibs on.
