What I’ve been up to
General updates
15 weeks in!!!! Things are developing like I expected last week. It’s kind of a slow steady climb and not much is happening, but I’ve fallen into a routine and that’s pretty nice.
Blog updates
My second monthly update for my outfit side hustle project is out now! You can read it here.
Outfit side hustle updates
I’m supposed to schedule more posts but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I kind of am enjoying working just an hour or so per day and then having half the week off. In the next two weeks I hope to schedule more posts or at least come up with more outfit collages cause I’m all caught up on the ones I made.
This week I’m planning on writing a blog post and then reapplying to more affiliate programs. I also got another “clothing manufacturer” spam email this week too lol.
Insights and takeaways
Tips for avoiding burnout
I am a huge procrastinator and I’ve finally reached the point where I’ve run out of material that I had made in advance, so I’m anticipating feeling pressured and maybe even burnt out as I try to create enough material to tide me over. Honestly I wasn’t even feeling like making this weekly recap.
I do think that just starting a post honestly is super helpful to continue, because when I get started I remember that I do actually find this enjoyable and it’s not just like a work thing that I’m doing to make money.
Another underrated burnout avoidance tip is change of place! This is actually super useful, whenever I feel like I’m starting to lose motivation I take my work out to a cafe or library or anywhere that I don’t usually work at and I change it up every day so I don’t get used to it. There’s something about being in a new place that makes your work feel fresher somehow.
Anyways, I hope that helps, and if you guys have other tips to avoid burnout drop them in the comments below I’d love to hear them!
