The weather took a turn at the beginning of last week, and it's been cold, wet, and gloomy all week. This change in weather has put a serious damper on my mood, and it's really taking a toll on my productivity as well. But today, I want to steer the ship around and make sure that next week will be a whole lot better. So, we're gonna spend the day getting some things done that I have left piled up over the week, such as laundry and cleaning. Anytime I'm in a slump, it really helps me to make a plan.
