Nothing is going to stop me!

I have re-injured my back -- AGAIN. I do many things I shouldn't. I just cannot stop lifting, pulling weeds, gardening, shopping, etc. There are so many things to take care of. I have been doing everything myself, with my husband's help, for most of my life. I just do not know how to turn off the "do" mode?
But no matter. I promised myself on New Years 2026 that I would work on my website every single day for 9 months. I vowed to check in everyday and spend a few minutes up to 2 -3 hours everyday. Because life happens, and much of it we cannot control, I have to make adjustments. So on days that are cut short due to appointments, health set backs, or other issues, I then add the time I lost to other good days. But I have also discovered that those down days do not have to be wasted.
For example, I have a very bad back. I was in a near fatal accident 36 years ago. I suffered a horrendous back injury. I have struggled with the consequences for half of my life. It is a very long story, but I will skip that. Anyway, I can go weeks doing fine, and then do something that puts me in bed for days, even weeks, sometimes months.

I discovered that I can do almost everything in WA on my cellphone! Not only am I learning tremendous amounts of information on WA, but I have discovered so many features on my phone that I did not know existed!! So, I can still be very productive on my website. I have been down in bed for 4 days now, but I continue to spend hours everyday working on my site.
I absolutely love the Article Designer! In the last 2 months, I have written almost 40 articles. 30+ are published. The others need some work before publishing, so they are in draft for now. I can lay here in bed, nursing my back and leg, and at the same time, I can write articles, interact with the community, listen to training videos, look ideas up, use ChatGPT, research, use Jaxxy, and almost anything else I can think of.
I have absolutely no excuses now!Anything that I need my desktop for can usually wait. So here I am, in bed, keeping my promise to myself! What excuses do you have? We all procrastinate, but we can usually find a way around it, if we really want to. So what is holding you back? Let me know. Thank you for taking your time to read this. I hope this helps someone, especially newbies.
