Full transparency - I'm struggling

Added 2024-06-19 07:52:05 +0000 UTC

I'm not sure what it is about this month, but I'm really struggling to get things done.

My goal was to do the ceramics update at the end of next week, but I can feel myself falling behind day by day as I try to reach my goal of doing a huge restock.

And when it comes to Patreon things, I will admit that I still haven't figured out what the extra will be for the happy mail and I'm scratching my brain to figure out a digital download for the month.

I think I over planned what I wanted to do and now I'm really stressed out.

It's strange because looking on social media, my recent videos have never performed better. But as I write this now, maybe this is the cause of the struggle. I suddenly feel very pressured to perform and continue the success that these videos have been receiving.

The balance between content creation and creating work to sell has been a constant battle through the years of running my small business.

There is a 50/50 chance I change the restock date to the start of July, depending on how much I get done this weekend. And as for the Patreon extra, I have a cute idea for a postcard :)

It's a day by day struggle and I know things will fall into place eventually. But I just wanted to give you a heads up of what's going on, because outside looking in, you'd never know.
