Time Blocking

 

Had the stomach flu over the weekend. By Sunday we were feeling better. I used herbs to get rid of it. Sunday we went on a small hike on our acreage and I found sticks to whittle into a walking cane. I have been on occasion losing my balance on unlevel ground and an old injury has been making my leg go out. I need to hike back to the tree later and bring some compost as a thank you. I have been looking for a cane and a spiritual shop suggested a hike to find a fallen branch which I considered but chose first to shop local to support a small business.

I have been spending time watching reels on cats. Our rescue cats who adopted us are our familiars. We want to give them the best indoor life possible since they are terrified of the outdoors. Yesterday we went to PetSmart and bought them new food bowls, a cat scratching box and some broth. The cat scratching box is called ” The chair or this” which I laughed at in the store and then at the ranch house. The cats chose both. They make me laugh.

We do not a accept drop in visit on the homestead unless an emergency. Since doing adult content, plus so very busy during the day, we are very reclusive. Some have come by trying to get our attention through the fence who have been asked to text hubs instead due to our personality conflict with them. Plus with all these religious debates we want to make our presence distant. Instead of texting hubs they work to get our attention many times for unnecessary drama. We are not rude, just busy. For us if we don’t vibe that is alright. We will instead position ourselves for peace. One person I got along with quite well and appreciated his help when we were going through a difficult transition in our life. His wife has shown jealousy before I ever started doing adult content so I removed myself from interacting after starting adult content. I am not a social person offline. I am very quiet and reclusive working around the house.

Here is a small list of my day:

Film content and interact on my sites

Bake, cook, can, dehydrate

Forage

Ferment

Crafting, sewing, needlepoint, knitting, whittling

Animal care

Gardening

Cleaning and organizing

Journaling and reading

Watching how to videos

And more…. My mind is on family, subscribers, customers and work. I really am not looking for anything else other than peace.

At a previous place I used to live when my children were younger and I was homeschooling I had neighbors constantly harassing. One neighbor had to knock on my door to tell me how everyone he talked to considered me lazy and spoiled. I asked is that all he wanted was to tell me this? He said yes so I said goodbye and shut the door. First time ever interacting with him and his friend. Curious how everyone had so much time to talk about me and yet I hardly talked to them. I decided to do a self audit. I wrote out everything I did during the day. I was doing allot more than I even considered because that was my daily routine. That is where I learned about time blocking. I started time blocking to add more organizing to my life plus if I had an unexpected drop in for drama I could be more able to ask for an appointment and account for my business to set a firmer boundary as well as have documentation for legal council if necessary. Was a very interesting and fun outcome.

I need to get to doing dishes and Monday organizing. Sunday we relax and let things be left for Monday clean up. Mondays is my face resting day from makeup to give my pores a break. No lack of work to get done.
