I’ve been in a bit of a slump the past couple of months. But my daffodils are blooming so that gives me hope that springtime and my missing motivation are on the horizon. I’ve been reading and listening to and watching some of my favorite time management and productivity sources in the hopes my spark will return.
It seems that most people I’ve talked to about this recently have admitted that they have been experiencing the same lack of motivation. Maybe it’s the long, grey winter. I’m solar powered so the lack of bright, sunny days definitely takes its toll on me. If you’ve been dealing with the same issue and could use some help in the time management and productivity department, I’ve collected some of my favorite resources for you (and me!).

I had the pleasure of interviewing Laura McClellan – The Productive Woman:
Amy Landino is one of my favorite YouTubers and she has many wonderful videos on productivity, time management, daily routines and more. This one on time batching is excellent:
For me, the key to kicking my butt back into gear is getting my morning routine under control again. I’ve been sleeping too late (because I go to bed too late) and then piddling around for too long. Before I know it I’ve wasted a couple of hours (or more!) of prime morning time. I’m determined to change that, however. If anyone reading this needs to do the same and would like an accountability partner, email me or leave me a comment. I’m definitely open to this possibility!
