Hi everyone,

Have you ever had too many things to do and your brain just wants to shut down?

Well I was sick for 7 months and I have many months of work to do and it can be overwhelming!

So I've reduced things down to just acting on ONE thing at a time. I don't even have planned what the second thing will be until after I accomplish the first task.

It frees up my brain to focus on what needs to be done.

I should also note that doing what I least want to do is a high priority for me otherwise it just adds to the mental noise and continuing stress.

For example, I finally responded to KDP Amazon that had blocked (not banned) 2 of my books. Its a pain to deal with their customer service, but if I want the books published that's what I needed to do. Now I can focus on the next books to publish.

I'm slowly starting up my businesses again and whatever I do, I want to be enjoying it. There are endless ways to make money, but I don't want to work for work's sake alone.

#1, I need to take care of myself, physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally if I want to optimize my progress.

Hopefully a month from now, I'll have a greater vision of exactly what I want to be doing on a consistent basis.

To Our Success!

Why were the books banned? I didn’t know they banned books other than porn.

They were blocked, not banned, because they require more info regarding public domain books.

Mel

Thanks.

Does Amazon actually ban certain books, or was there simply a publishing type error that was fixed so that your books could be listed?

They were blocked, not banned, because they require more info regarding public domain books.

Mel

Does Amazon lay out specifics on what is required for public domain books? Was there something regarding these two books that was different from your other books published?

I'm very curious to how this works.

Well done, Mel. Focussing on one thing til it’s complete helps us move forward. Hope you’re feeling better each day .

Thanks Melissa!

Mel

Overwhelm is not easy to deal with but that’s a good plan tackling your least favorite task first. It helps build the momentum. Take care of yourself, Mel.

Thanks Susan!

I hear you, Mel!!
One thing after another...
Good advice to focus on one solution at a time.
Today, I had to get new coverage for house and car, as my premiums went up big time, after my 2 house flooding this year.
What a racket!!
You pay for insurance, but don't dare but in a claim!
Glad you're feeling better, too, Mel.
You've inspired me!!
Best!

Absolutely, Jeff, it does become very overwhelming, we keep plugging on.🙏

Yes, we do, Brian! We constantly face obstacles in our daily lives, but we get through it. If we never faced obstacles, life would be incredibly boring! Happy HUMP day!🐫
