Well so far my year of productivity is off to a rocky start, but I still managed to get a lot done. Now that the first week is over, it’s time to look back at my weekly goals and see how I did.

For week 1, my main goal was to write 7,000 words. I didn’t even come close to this. I did manage to write 2,755 words. Not even half. Part of that was because I had several days fighting vertigo where I literally could not look at a computer screen, and then several days where my husband took over my desk with his projects. I did, however, write the four Medium posts I wanted to. But, none of those were posts that were submitted to any publications. I had originally wanted to submit at least one a week.

My other main objective was to get editing my Vella book and get at least two episodes posted. I didn’t get to work on this at all.

Sounds like a rough start, right?

The weather has been beautiful. I didn’t want to waste that, and on the days I couldn’t write, I spent time outside getting chores and projects done. One of my goals was to get my rosemary and hibiscus transplanted. I restrung the fence out front and got that done. On top of that, my husband and I cut down about twenty trees and cleared an area about a third of an acre. This was a huge accomplishment.
