7 Days Remain in 2024
A Question and an Image to Spark Creativity during the #last100days2024
Welcome to my #last100dayproject!
There are 7 days left in 2024.
One week remains! Many refer to this as DEAD WEEK. The week between where nothing much is supposed to happen. This has never been a reality for me!
Today’s question: Which do you prefer - quarterly or monthly planning? Or some other measurement?
Today’s image:
For the last 100 days, I invite you to join me and experiment.
Each day for the remainder of the year I will share a question and a photo of an item.
You are welcome to write into the question and/or the photo.
Or you can start a new ritual or experiment of your own creation.
I would love to hear about your progress on whatever project you want to begin!
**NOTE**
I do not share drafts of work online because most publications considered this published. You are more than welcome to share your piece in the comments, an excerpt or an update.
I hope for the comments to be a community for us to share these wins.
A little more about me: Tammy L. Evans is a writer, teacher, and coach living in a tiny house on a peninsula with her husband and adventure cat. Her location device is her loud laugh. She is working on a non-fiction book about how to submit and publish your first pieces. She is the creator and host of THE BRADBURY TRIO COURSE. Her poetry has been published in The Storyteller, FoxGlove Journal, Story Hall, Blue Insights, The Partnered Pen, and others. Her fiction has been published in Gone Lawn, Cabinets of Heed, Spelk, Five on the Fifth, Clover and White, Fiction Berlin Kitchen, and others.
This proved to be an interesting question for me, because I struggle with it significantly. Any kind of long range planning (both monthly and quarterly fall in this category) feels overwhelming and paralyzing. There are too many moving parts, and because I don't have any real deadlines, it's hard to even pick a date for specific tasks. It's funny because as a teacher I did reverse design for curricula all the time. I also heard in a podcast the other day about the distinction between strategic thinking and tactical thinking, and how the skill set for each is different and most people don't overlap. Anyway, it was super helpful to think about this intentional, Tammy, thanks!
