We had a great #FreelanceFriends chat on Thursday about mindset. Here are some takeaway tips!
🏃♂️ Start the day with exercise for a good mood.
📆 Have some structure or a plan in place for your day.
🧘♂️ Schedule rest/recover/reset days for work balance.

Mantras get my brain into a good place, so I'm more focused, creative and productive. #FreelanceFriends
Exactly. It's changed over time, and I'm sure I'll adjust it as needed. Finding a good way to start the day in creative mode rather than business mode gives me a better foundation, and when I switch to "business" later in the day, I'm more focused.
#FreelanceFriends
I've been reminding myself and clients that the little things add up to big things over time.
#FreelanceFriends
I need to be good about taking pictures this year. I'm part of a breeding project this year so I have 12 plants that I literally have no idea of what I'm going to get as far as size, color or taste.
#FreelanceFriends
I wish I had all the answers. There are thousands of varieties. There are only 5 varieties that I'm growing this year that you could find at a box store. Craig LaHoullier's book, Epic Tomatoes, is a great place to start, though. Most of what I'm growing are suggestions from him.
#FreelanceFriends
You're welcome! Thanks for working around the glitches with me! #FreelanceFriends
Some of the names are fun too. Raspberry Beret, Ruby Slippers, Emerald City, Yellow Brick Road, Kiss the Sky, Hungry Like the Wolf...
#FreelanceFriends
Have a great week all of my #FreelanceFriends. And thanks again @angelatague.bsky.social for hosting - especially with all of the platform's glitches today.
And colorful!
#FreelanceFriends
I didn't need to read it to see who he his and how he operates. Once you recognize his patterns it's impossible to find any of his antics truly surprising. #FreelanceFriends
The hard part has always been remembering to do it. I keep it up all the time now. This year is the first year in several years that I've done it that I haven't missed a day. It's finally become a habit.
#FreelanceFriends
Awww! Puuuurfect! #FreelanceFriends
I should have you on speed dial when buying my tomato plants. Which of these will work better in pots? Is this sweet or tangy? How long will this variety take to produce fruit?

#FreelanceFriends have a wonderful week! Thanks for the tips on mindset practices. Staying positive, but realistic is necessary!
I read The Art of the Deal when I was in high school. The bragging turned me off, but I've followed him since then. There's nothing he's done that has surprised me. He's actually really predictable once you understand who he is.
#FreelanceFriends
Thank you for attending #FreelanceFriends! And, for sticking it out with the many platform glitches today!
This chat is coordinated by many freelancers on Bluesky. TY!
The chat will be back next on Thursday at 11am CST here on Bluesky. Stay tuned for updates and happy freelancing, friends!
I honestly thing a little fear of the unknown is good. It keeps us on our toes and prevents us from getting lazy.
#FreelanceFriends
I just keep it in a spreadsheet. But I'm sure you could set it up anywhere you wanted. I have four columns: Quarter, Date, Praising - What Did I Do Today That Made Me Feel Good?, and Redirections - What Do I Wish I Could Do Over. T
#FreelanceFriends
I also like to remind myself that things have a way of working themselves out. If something is (or isn't) meant to happen, it will (or won't) happen. But we still have to put in the effort, either way. #FreelanceFriends
It sounds like words on paper are the key. This is a nudge for me to use my journal more! After writing all day, I have let that habit slip. #FreelanceFriends
My year started strong, but slowed down this month. And summer can be traditionally slow with a couple of my core clients. So I'm also taking those micro-actions (and some bolder ones) to ramp things back up. #FreelanceFriends
I LOVE water aerobics! I usually go twice a week to a class, but lately I've been staying away from the water because it gives me a skin rash on my legs. #FreelanceFriends
I've often wished my #FreelanceFriends lived closer so I could share. This year is going to be interesting. I have reds, pinks, greens, yellows, purples, brown, and stripes. I have cherries, cocktail tomatoes, saladettes, and slicers. I think I've got most of the bases covered.
Haha! Isn't it fun? #FreelanceFriends
Last week, when the convicted felon threatened war crimes that would destroy a civilization, I honestly felt like nothing really mattered anymore. Then I realized that working as if the end of the world isn't nigh is indeed what matters. #FreelanceFriends
