Hi everyone. New month, new goals.
What is everyones creative goals this month?
How did you go last month?
I actually did ok. I think there was 2 days where I couldn't get on to my computer tick it off and accomplish my goals.
This month I plan on doing anything creative. Whether it coking something new, colouring in with my daughter or fussy cutting (I hate fussy cutting). Any of these things are creative and therapeutic to me.
Hope everyone is staying safe..
I've done much better so far in May than I did in April--it seems that having some hope of actually being done with this move is making the difference in having inspiration to do anything! (I really should load up that June BT palette and get started on it, though!)
It’s silly I know but I’ve meant and well exceeded my goals. BUT I missed checking a box and now my goal counter is missing a day. Why does this bother me? I’m not sure but it’s bugging me.
That's just a normal psychological thing, Jill. As humans, we thrive on competition with ourselves, and on the sense of satisfaction that we get from completing everything on a list. That's why what's referred to as "gamification" works so well to get and keep people engaged. Check out an article on it here; it's fascinating reading, in my opinion, but I'm a gamer at heart and a nerd of a few dozen different stripes.
I missed a day too Jill and it's bugging me because I know I did my challenge for the day! I'm hoping Jordan will make a tweak so you can at least check the previous day's box as well as the current day's. I'm more likely to be on DigitalScrapbook.com in the morning before I've done my creative work and then I forget later in the evening! Also I need to revamp my challenge because I had a change of interest in the middle.
He replied to me. I think it's the overachiever in me that needs to see it checked. I did 100 layouts in April and 250 + for the year. I know I did it. Why do I need to see I did it? LOL
I want to get a layout done every day this month, except Sundays, because I don't get on my computer that day. I want to keep up with my photo a day.
@Jill - very understandable. Normally that would annoy me as well. I'm learning to be kinder to myself, hence my fluffy goal
Wow, what an amazing number of LOs though!
@Tammy- Great goal! 5 days down....
@Holly- Moving saps your energy and creativity (hello stress). Glad to hear you're starting to regain some back
Cassie,
I retired in December. I've only a 17 year old at home who attends college. BF is gone half the month for his job. I spend most of my time (all if you ask my family LOL) on the computer. I dislike TV.
Goal for May is only 50 pages.
And it's fixed!!!
