Day #31 Halloween Greetings

 
Did you do a project? Yes. I set out to make a Halloween Greeting for each of my Facebook friends. Ended up giving out 140 out of 215

Did you complete it? No :(

What did you learn? My right hand cramped up just as much as my left. If you make an effort, people will notice and feel loved. for next time spend less time trying to come up with wordy things. just draw!

What did you learn about yourself? I'm impressed that I lasted 14 hours. I am also surprised at how my brain is still trying to come up with different things we could have done on the pictures. I notice that getting to 'milestones' (for example completing everyone on the family list) didn't motivate me. they felt instead like ending points and that I needed to do an extra push to keep on going. Have little awards replace final goals for me?

How do you feel about the project? I loved this. A friend asked me to do something in the morning. I thought about forgoing a couple of hours to hang out. I'm glad I didn't; this is a commitment I made to myself at the beginning of the month and I'm glad I kept it. I'm glad that I could and did put this on top of my priority list. Next time I'm going to organize differently. Plus prep work could have helped. I couldn't tell you how many times I had to look things up how to spell a name, other ideas for pictures, what someone's kid dressed up as. etc.
