Wondering off track

Bubbles (I did not name her)

So I've learned that I suck at keeping a self imposed schedule. The consequences of not doing what I set out to do are really immaterial. Still, it's only failure if I stop trying, right?

I heard somewhere that forming a new habit takes about a month on average. So I guess I should focus on writing more, instead of getting distracted by everything else in my life. Not that everything else isn't important, but, it's busy work and not getting me closer to my goals.

I can't really call myself a writer if I never write. Nor will I ever convince someone else that I'm a writer if I have nothing to show for it.

I'm great at starting projects, not finishing them. It's not laziness. It's boredom, distractions and negative feelings about what I'm doing. It's a big hurdle to overcome. I know I'm not the only person to sit in a chair and feel this way, but it sure seems like it at times.

On the other hand, I've gotten a good deal of jewelry made in the last month. Enough that I could potentially sell some somewhere. I've also learned  a great deal about starting a business. So not a complete waste but not perfect either.
