Waffle!

Good morning!

It's Monday and it's a new week so let's see how we can make it a good productive one!

The question then becomes how..What you can't see is the time between writing the line above and this is about half an hour. Mainly because the mind went blank. How can we make it a good productive week? The initial thought was absolutely no idea. Last week was pants week, how can we make this week a better week? Still the answer was no idea. Maybe the large amount of Pink Gin drunk over the weekend was a mistake and the brain is too foggy to think. Actually its not that at all. So this is what we do when that happens..

Stop staring at the screen trying to force writing, we step away and park it for a little bit. Look around and see what needs to be done, preferably a very mundane task, this morning it was simply work out what shows we have at the weekend and write out what stock we would like to take. When this was completed, put the kettle on and have a coffee. At this point we have started to build some momentum, so we then come back to the screen and start writing.

For some people this might just seem like waffle, but it works for us. By the end of writing this we then have a plan of what needs to be done first this morning and then once we have had our morning meeting and another coffee we will have a plan for the rest of the day. You have to have a plan, as we have written before, the plan can change and very often does, but you have to start with a plan. 

So that's our plan..

We have two small shows this weekend, Holbeach and Parsons Drove Farmers markets, both on Sunday. We will also be looking ahead to next week because it's Easter!!

Right off to the meeting with coffee in hand

Have a good day!
