Main Suggestion for Today

Given the need to balance productivity and personal care amidst the stress surrounding the studio sale, set up a dedicated reading station in the studio today. This space will serve as a haven for focused reading and note-taking, helping to manage mental wellness while still allowing for productive breaks.

Quick Action Points

• Set Up Reading Station:
• Choose a specific location in the studio for the reading station, preferably the table next to your main workspace.
• Arrange it with your current non-fiction books, a notepad, and some stationery for annotations.
• Plan Short Reading Sessions:
• Schedule one-hour reading sessions during your less busy periods today. Ideally, this should be a quieter time when you can focus without interruptions.
• Play some background music to create a calming atmosphere.
• Mix Reading with Other Tasks:
• Use the 50-min work, 10-min break rule to balance between your reading sessions, postcard plotting, and other administrative tasks.
• Begin with finishing up outstanding postcards and then move to the online shop, as previously mentioned in your plans.

Affirmation

You have the ability to balance work and self-care effectively, finding peace and productivity even amidst uncertainty.

Other Thoughts

• Considering your long-term goal of going to the gym first thing in the morning, perhaps integrate a short walk or light exercise into your day today. It can serve as a bridge towards more consistent physical activity.
• Given the stress linked with the studio sale, remember that short, focused breaks between tasks can help maintain your energy and mood. This focus method has proven beneficial for you in the past (like the body weight squats during breaks).
• It's good to acknowledge that setting personal priorities, such as the proposed reading station, can have a positive impact on both your productivity and mental health.

This approach aims to create a productivity-enhancing environment while also addressing your well-being needs effectively.
