Sailing into the New Year with Ease???Hello Fallen Friends,
Yet another year has arrived. More resolutions have been made. So many goals need to
be conquered. Are we feeling overwhelmed yet? If not, kudos to you. If you're like me though, you're in that other group.
Everything under the roof, hill, sun, and other things is keeping you from finding that precious time to stick with those
goals. Never fear, good advice is here.
Okay, so maybe that comes across as somewhat cliched but you get
the point. But really, everyone has a full roster these days. Kids, jobs, school, family, trips, parties, bills, etc. etc.
We have to strike a balance between those things. I like to call it portion control. It's easy really. Simply sit down and...you
got it, relax. If you get all worked up over everything you can and cannot control, you'll burn out. They key to life is
simply knowing what to do next...after you take a moment to just NOT think about it all. But someone should write a blurb
about finding the right shaped key as well, I think.
Regardless, you can conquer the dreaded list and meet
your writing goals and even have time left over to tackle those new year resolutions as well. Take one or two portions each
day. Set aside a time for balancing the budget. Make appointments to get your kids or pets checkups done. Then enter them
in your trusty buddy calendar (and no, this doesn't have to be a smartphone version). The next day, repeat steps one and
two but with the next items on your list. Soon, you'll find that happy medium so very necessary to succeed not only in writing,
but also your life in general. And always remember the four vital 'F's to creative success: family, fun, food, and friends!
Yours in Prose, KaSonndra
