Summary
I'm currently taking a break from being a salary woman to work on several personal and professional projects.
On professional grounds, I'd like to redefine my way of working and earning money.
On the personal side, I plan to work on my garden to create a haven for bees and butterflies (and all the other creatures that are less attractive but still deserve to live), read a lot of books, be more consistent in my yoga and pilates practice, and in my study of Japanese, and improve my drawing skills, so I can illustrate my travel diaries. And many other things.
Priority project
Content creation for my websites
During this sprint, I'm focusing on creating content for my websites.
Why I'm doing this
I decided to adopt a content-first strategy and to rely heavily on content optimization for search engines (SEO), instead of spending time promoting my products on social networks. Content creation allows me to reach more people.
I'm also planning some articles in advance to cover my next trip to come.
What is on my todo list
- A few post ideas for my own websites and my Substack publications for "The Flonicles" et "Lis et écris en français !"
- A few improvements to the look&feel and functionalities of my websites
Sides
Those are projects that I'm building on the side when not busy with my priority project or when I need to put my mind at something else. They're either maintenance tasks, one-shots, or groundwork for future "priority projects".
Slow down
Why I'm doing this
I've been very productive the last few months, so I deserve to slow down a bit before leaving for a month of travel in Japan.What I'm actually doing
- Reduce my productive time by a half, read, garden, read, nap, read.
Write my new novel
Why I'm doing this
This wasn't planned at all... but I got a killer idea and I want to explore it right now.What I'm actually doing
- The plan of my story is ready, so I started writing the novel.
