So my little project is moving right along. Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement and support! It's such a relief to know I'm not the only procrastinator/hoarder/overthinker here in our little vintage world!
It's been a little more than a week now since I announced right here for all to see that I was going to list one item a day, and that pledge has kept me motivated and focused.
I am trying not to think too hard about that one item; I'm just grabbing and going with it! Most of my first week's listings were stashed in a cupboard not far from my work station; I got the added bonus of decluttering that space while adding to the inventory checklist.
Most days I'm scrambling at 10PM to get that listing up, but at least I'm getting to it. If I didn't have this project to spur me on, I would certainly put it off until tomorrow. And tomorrow. And tomorrow.
Some of you have expressed interest in listing every day right along with me. If you'd like to commit to doing this, please feel free to grab the button above and post it on your own blog. I will update weekly here on how I'm doing; you can add your comment to that post so we can all follow along and inspire each other.
Sort of like an online Weight Watchers® group. For those of us trying to lose some of those extra vintage pounds!
Congratulations on keeping it going. Love the button and will keep that in mind when I start up again in Feb.

Love your idea and your button. I know i am not an every day lister, but I have a goal of listing 5 a week. I am very hopeful that will work for me. I will keep following your progress.

Hi Gina!
I love your idea! One of my goals is to list more items too, so I'll be following you throughout the year. Don't disappoint me now, lol...

That's a Great Idea! If I could get at least one project done and listed per week I would be more productive! Thanx for the inspiration, I'll keep checking back and checking in, LOL You Go Girl!

I may just do this, because I am so impressed with that button! (I did some listings today but I inactivated them so I could have a bunch all go live at once ... that counts, right?)

This has gotten me moving again, Gina! I know I'm not an everyday lister, as I don't work on the weekends, but I've listed quite a few things this week and am motivated to keep with it! Even one item makes a big difference over time and sales sure pick up, too!
