iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

What got me out of it? Not a clue. But here I am today! Your takeaway? 'Waaay more than I can stuff into this message. However, I will try to get something together soon. Hope y'all are having a spiffy day!

And the hell of it? I knew *logically* that there was zero issue for my inability to operate to the best of my abilities. But emotions didn't care for logic whatsoever. 🤕

It unexpectedly hit me on Sunday. From then until yesterday, I was more useless than a toaster at a spa party.

I'm back and let me tell you, burnout is one heck of an extremely painful issue to deal with.

Ah, memories of my business 28 years ago when I’d travel about the country, providing Internet Recruiting seminars. Good times.

Welp, as it’s now past 2am, methinks it’s a good time to actually call it a day/night etc . Unhappy with this week’s output. Must regroup. Anywhos, Nn all.

Finally after some time, my arm has come alive once more. Working now on finalizing the sales page graphics. Ideally, I'll have a few hours to get this stuff done. Hope your day was grand!

A definitely great way for progress to pause is waking up and missing an operational arm. Hopefully should re-emerge later on. Have a great day, all!

Can anyone put my arm to sleep? As the Mooses stated it’s not even 2:30am, it suddenly hit me - I fell into my classic trap yesterday of complicating my task. I have a good starting point tomorrow. Err today. Sleeep…

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Welp, so much for that idea. One of the biggest challenges I have is I go >Squirrel!< at the worst possible moment. Sigh. Sigh. More tomorrow. Nn

Anywhos, I hope you're able to make your day superb for whatever it is you want to create! Not to mention, should you enjoy coffee, well then, enjoy. :)

Your takeaway? It's okay (it really is) if Life flings a truckload of lemons in your direction; freeze 'em up and lob 'em back at Life! Betcha Life would never be expecting that!

that "will you have fries?" question that fast food places always ask to get more money from the customers (aka upsells), both beginners and experienced buy from me, so I make sure to include projects for all levels. Finetuning all of that, so I suppose things could be worse.

100

Which is SO helpful when chatting with the surgeon. ARGH. Anywhos, 'sides that, regarding my current project, I've knocked out 2 sales pages and am adding in all the products that I want to include in my sales funnel. While I know that some customers hate fries (ie,

I'm going to do me best to return to my past style of socialMediaizing and simply share whatever is on my mind. Which brings me to today. Omg I highly recommend NEVER EVER fracturing your humerus because while healing, the pain is so weird its indescribable

100

Good morning! I hope your sleep was restful and your ideas brilliant for today! I myself had a thoroughly miserable evening/early morning so I decided that I'm old enough and venerable enough and ornery enough that

Massive setback during the day but hey, these things happen. Tomorrow (today?) time to rebound once more. Nn all!

000

Moose declares its 1:40am. Carry on.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Welp, what another insane day (but insane in a good way. Got lots of the sales page done. Alas my arm tried breaking itself off and running away; not fun at all. Tomorrow, another adventure awaits! Nn

000

My brain has finally relented to my body and get this (gasp!) - I might finally be tired enough to sleep. Extremely content with how I chose to react to the disaster this weekend. Nn

010

Gooood Morning! How's that rising and shining coming along for you? Me, well, as I have yet to sleep, the answer there is "The Jury is Out!" However, I did rebound quite a bit yesterday; the key, however, is to ensure that reignition continues! How did you every stoke your fire?

000

Anywhos, hopefully sleep will gently barrel its way through the door and I can regenerate. Hope y’all have a superb day! Nn

That one step is virtually guaranteed to save a future day when time is of the essence but your mind is so fried, you just opened Google to search for Google.

The only thing that really stops you (for the most part) is failing to give yourself permission to simply *try*. Earlier, I showed Claude my writing samples and made sure, then and there, to request a markdown file for future use.

100

Welp, sketched out me ideas, began creation and methinks I’m at a good place to pause (especially as 3am looms in the distance. But! One coolio thingee I learned;

100

So it’s now around 1am and for whatever reason, I find myself unable to stop my mind. Recently got an insane urge to write about Etsy… … and I’ve learned that whenever such urges whomp on me, I should follow. Stay tuned!

#4 that actually *works*. Your takeaway? Mourn what you've lost, get that negative energy out.... and allow yourself to view the future as something you alone can create... for yourself. Enjoy!

#3 For now, most of this afternoon was spent on taking meece to vet, asking my arm to pretend its perfectly healed (spoiler, it did not), and finally getting pissed off enough at myself that I took all that failed ChatGPT stuff over the weekend and retooled it into something ...

100

#2 I have an oooooold body (not to mention a humerus that is still unhappily healing from the 4 fractures I inflicted on it. 🙁 ) Still, though, things could always be worse.... and I figure I'll internalize some super wisdom from all of this I can pass on at a later date
