November Plan With Me / 2020

I have an online secondhand bookshop using Etsy, Depop, and Mercari. I also have a rare nerve disease called CRPS that is gradully getting worse. Hyla brook Books isn't just a distraction, it's a benediction. I applied for my dream job: an children's librian assistant at the library. I had hope that I could make a living of $300/ week reselling - but my record sales in a month was $351.13 (August report). It's my dream to make a living selling my art and books.  What are my top 3 goals for the month of November? Make $390 - sell my art work - list 300 items across all platforms What are my weekly goals to accomplish my monthly goals? One resin project a week - make a scheduling routine-  focus on books with high resell value - create space to photograph  What could I have done differently in the previous month to improve my shop revenue? List every day 2-4 items or 10-15 listings. Use art to heal. Engage more. List clothes! | How Much Did I Make in October ?...

What Happened To the Declutter Deathpile Series?

 There were two main objectives in the Declutter Deathpile series, or The Minn Game: 1. Get rid of clutter by removing items from my apartment.  "out with the old, in with the new."  "everything must go"  "letting go of what no longer serves my business" and not listing items that are not worth my time. 2. complete within 30 days removing 1 pound of stuff on day 1, 2 pounds of stuff on day 2, and so on and forth. "a weight off my shoulders" "quantifying how much I let go." "make sure items are removed by midnight that day" I had planned to make consistent content, a video update every 3 days throughout the month I cleaned out stale inventory.  Declutter My Deathpile / The Minn Game / Days 1 & 2 New Years Resolutions Declutter with Me// Reseller Deathpile/ Days 3,4,5 of The Minn Game Declutter my Deathpile with Me / The Forgotten Stories / A Poem Declutter my Deathpile day by day / reseller plays minamlist game I want to br...
