The Work at home Schedule - It's not happening!!

Every Day I get up and tell myself I'm going to do nothing but work on Beading. Whether it's creating new patterns for my Etsy site or making inventory for a show, or just working on getting a little business started. 
This has been going on for the last 5 months or so. Somehow every day something gets in the way, and the last thing I manage to do is get to the Beading/ crafty Biz.

For those of you who don't know I'm getting ready to move in December. My husband is being transferred for his job, We'll be moving from Maryland to Colorado, so this is no small move. There's lots of coordination, purging of stuff, organizing of yard sales,  Getting Certification classes out of the way for my Day job, seeing family before we leave etc... 

I'm presently scrambling to make some new inventory for a craft fair in the middle of all of this and beating myself up because I knew this show was coming. I've let a lot of this stuff get in the way. I realize I do have deadlines and pressing matters when it comes to the move, but if you want something to grow you need to devote some time to it. 

I have no idea what's in store for me at our next location as far as work is concerned. Five months ago I told myself I would be serious about this. I'm supposed to be gearing myself up to think about a business plan, goals and give myself a chance to see if this crafty business will this really work, and haven't managed to get much done.

How do people do this and be successful at it, while managing life too? Some of them are working full time jobs at the same time.
They have to have a huge pile of laundry to do a messy house and a family that doesn't remember what a home cooked meal is like Right?

I'm vowing to have a schedule, and strive to stick to it. So Far on the first morning, I've failed but maybe it's a good thing, I was supposed to be excising instead I'm writing about getting crafty!

Whether its for this blog or in a journal when your writing your clearing the fog, organizing and setting things stright to yourself. Dont be so hard on yourself Janet....you have alot going on. <3 take care and good luck sweetie
