Nothing like a deadline to stress your ass into productivity

I have a market on the 20th and 21st this month, and I've been preparing for quite some time. But now that the deadline is coming is when all the ideas really solidify and I have the urge to do everything in a rush.  

I spent the last two days without touching my computer. I crocheted all day. I did the same on Monday, but had the computer on with something playing to "keep me company". Tuesday and Wednesday I used no distractions except music playing on my phone, and I worked so much more! No surprise there, really. 

I decided I's use all of this week to crochet all I still want to make, and then next week I'd focus on all the digital stuff I still want to print. 

The thing is, after 3 days of crochet, two of them quite intensive, guess what? My hands aren't happy. I'm considering having a rest today and switching to digital. 

I don't want to! I can handle more crochet!  

I know that is a lie. I mean, yes, I can handle it, but I will regret it later and at that point even the digital work will be hard on my hands. So... *sigh* 

Look at all the pretty things though! 



 

I've also been feeling an urge to play Sims4 again. And get back to streaming, at least sometimes. 
I know I won't be doing any of that until the market is done, but maybe after? Maybe I can convince myself that it's ok to "waste time" playing games if I stream it and call it work. 

Honestly, I've tried that before. Didn't quite work. But maybe this time? Also, maybe I'll try streaming on Youtube this time and see how that goes? Not that I didn't like Twitch, but I'm curious to see if there's a significant difference between the two. 

So, even though I'm looking forward to the market, I also can't wait for it to be done so I can move on to the next thing.
