Hello friends,
You all voted, and the winner of the new newsletter name, with 50% of the votes, is Letters On Being. This was secretly my favorite option, so I'm pleased many of you are on the same page. Those who didn't vote for Letters on Being are not getting my psychic messages. You can go now.
I'm kidding. Obviously, or at least I hope it's obvious. Sarcasm does not come across well on the Internet. But I love you all. Seriously.
That said, I wanted to start this newsletter with how I'd rebounded from last week and was kicking ass and taking names. Unfortunately, that's not the case. I'm not quite as low as last week, but I'm still not where I'd like to be. I have a sneaking suspicion that my period has something to do with this, but it's hard to tell because my cycle was off last month, so I'm not 100% sure where I'm at right now.
I do know, however, that this newsletter is one of the things helping me get through each week. I feel accountable to you all and don't want to disappoint you. Freelancing is challenging for several reasons, but a big one is thinking I can put stuff off because I don't have a boss telling me what to do. Now, though, I feel like y'all are my collective, supportive, encouraging boss. Also, just then, I accidentally wrote boos instead of boss, and I wanted to keep it. I feel like y'all are my boos too.
I know at least a few of you who subscribe to this are freelancers. How do you stay motivated? How do you remain accountable? Let me know. I could use some tips.
See you next week,
Yardena
