Happy Thursday, writer friends,
I caught the simplification bug this week. I mean, it’s about time. I have a tendency to overcomplicate things with extensive to-do lists, repeatedly reinventing the wheel in parts of my business, and pushing harder where it would have made more sense to pull out.
I’m reformed this week. Or trying to be, anyway.
I realized, with some alarm, that I’ve been living in constant time scarcity. And while, yes, some of it is because I’m taking on a ton of freelance clients and completing some exciting projects, most of it is really just a build-up of bad habits.
I want financial abundance. If you know me, you know I love making money and I really enjoy pushing the boundaries of what I feel I’m capable of. But this year I’ve decided that I want this financial abundance to come in tandem with time abundance. That is, I want to keep increasing both my income and my free time.
Anything less just misses the point.
So here I am, finishing up my work for the day. Deadlines demolished early because I didn’t binge on Netflix and leave them to the last minute. I cleared out my computer desktop and shut down all three hundred of the open browser tabs. My to-do list for tomorrow has only four tasks.
I feel free, like I just released a crapload of stuck energy.
Now to make it stick.
Cheers,
Natasha
