Is it just me or are others having trouble getting back into their regular routine this January? I’m usually raring to go after I get back from a break….and I got an extra long one this year thanks to all that snow we had!
But I just can’t seem to get going on the things that need doing. Like working on the schedule of events for the next few months. I started on it in November, as usual, and made good progress until the holiday busy-ness started so put it aside for after the holidays. Which is now and I have no energy for it.
I’m wondering if that’s partly because of the poor response to events lately. I put so many hours into organizing the fall months and was quite excited about the offerings. Then less than half of them even ran, and those that did pretty much only had minumum numbers registered (or less….we ran a couple with only 2 or 3 people). Especially in November and early December, it seemed that all I was doing was updating the website to cancel yet another scheduled item due to lack of registrants. Quite frustrating, to say the least. Especially since I’d tried so hard to arrange for the types of classes that people asked for on the survey I conducted in the summer ……and those were the least attended of them all!
But whatever the reason I have no energy for event scheduling, I’m also surprised at how little of anything I’ve accomplished this week. I just can’t seem to get back into my usual rhythm……maybe it’s the lead up to Mercury going retrograde. Whatever it is, I hope it’s gone for next week! I have a LOT to do right now
