I always admire your transparency. It helps me keep on chugging along. My daughter and I both came through periods of deep depression and attempts at suicide. Now, we sport matching tattoos that say "Worth it," to remind ourselves that we are worth taking care of so that we don't fall back into that dangerous pit. This simple visual reminder helps me on dark days. As do your videos! Thank you so much for singing the song of taking care of your mental health. We can be most vicious when we are talking to ourselves, saying things that we would never think of saying to another soul. Giving ourselves grace and time to renew are precious gifts indeed. Thank you, Sarra!!
Yes NaNoWriMo diaries! I enjoyed them last year. I love your planning videos. They inspire me so much especially today as I am feeling burnt out and in need of a reset. Will be working on reorganizing and resetting this weekend. Thank you!
Personally, as an avid reader and lover of books...I am always excited for that next book in a series but if life happens and an author isn't able to get a book out by the original release date...I rather wait for a book that the author is happy with than have access "on time" to a book that the author felt like they had to rush and produce in order to meet the deadline. Good stories are always worth waiting for.
Hey Sarra! Would you consider a mock-up calculation for an income goal? I know it's personal so not looking for your actual numbers, just the thinking behind them. I imagine it takes into account your spending/ budgeting needs and past income, but what else?
I'm resetting my Kanban tonight while I'm watching this video. May and June was intense while I got ready to publish my first book which was live on June 22nd! Thank you so much for your inspiration!
You know what has helped me meet some of my July goals? Your 30 day don’t break the chain challenge!! It’s so motivating that I’ve decided to have a new 30 day challenge every month!
I can't wait for your Publish and Thrive course! Will I receive an email to sign up and get the discount since I signed up for the last HB90 bootcamp? Would also enjoy another Nano diaries series. Back to writing now... :)
If you hired a housekeeper now, it could mean you not only have someone to clean now, help with the move out cleaning, the move in cleaning and also, the packing up items to be moved... markings all the boxes with room assignments and contents. Leaving you more time to write and get projects done as I didn't see any blocks of time for these moving things. 💖🌞🌵😷
I love that you have changed from available days to available pomadoros. I actually did a version of this with your Q2 planner. I did full hours, but it worked much better for me than full days :)
Once again I need to let you know how helpful this is for someone with ADHD. This makes time so much more visible for us who struggle with time blindness!
Last night I was working on something, but was in a very bad mood, partially due to dreading a dental procedure on Monday. Suddenly I thought, "I need to switch my energy!" and I asked myself what I needed, right now. Turns out I needed to finish the book I was reading that I was almost finished with, to do the dishes, and to refill the hand soap dispenser in the kitchen. I felt much better after that! And I would never have known about the energy shift thing if you hadn't talked about it. Thanks!
I love your transparency! I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only one who completed my Q3 schedule and Kanban board on 6/12 lol. Unfortunately due to an new reality I have to either can Goal 2 or switch it back to last quarter's goal 2, which is good but sad. Back to the Kanban board.
I would love to watch new NaNoWriMo vlogs! I found this channel through last years series. :) Maybe even prepping for NaNoWriMo videos, if you have time to film them! And thank you for this video, it gave me ideas how to move forward and changed the way I see my goals. :)
such a strong message!!! YES mental health is so important and it's so easy to not to take care of it for all sorts of obligations that honestly wouldn't matter if you were in the hospital! So appreciate your message always. I don't comment often but always watch you
Sweet Sarra, you are an inspiration and a joy. Thank you! Your mental health message is so heartfelt and needed for so many. Getting my board up today :-)
Hi Sarra, When will your Publish and Thrive course open for registration? I want to make sure I don't miss it. Thank you so much for your awesome video!
You have no idea how much I have been waiting for this video. Because of your kanban board videos, I get to learn so much about planning and how much this is helping me 😊
Why SOMEONE/ANYONE would one-star a book because of a delay or two, or three - - that is STUPID! You rate the BOOK, not the delays. I hate when people do personal attacks/reviews when really you are rating the BOOK not the person. Congrats Sarra!! Keepin it real.
Sarra, I rewatched this video a couple of times. My husband and I have just moved into a new house, and I feel so much behind and so drained. I really needed this! AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Yeah Q3! Ask your CPA if they will interview prospective bookkeepers. They will now what to ask and determine their level of knowledge and experience. Many people call themselves BKs, but really just have some knowledge of Quickbooks. There’s much more to it to help you with the financial side of your business. It’s tough to watch an owner struggle when that position isn’t held by a truly knowledgeable person. Good luck! And I’m loving the 6 Months for Life💕
Fresh Starts are always a good plan. Rather than focusing on what's been missed - focus on looking ahead. You can only do what you can do. I want to re-evaluate my Q3. Sunday (tomorrow) will be a good day for that quiet time. Thanks for always being here for us... and know we are here for you. Creative Blessings!
If this is something specific to the HB90 course I understand, but I was curious if you take those 5 minute breaks for the pomadoro blocks and what you do with them? Are they really more like transition time? Or do you save them up and take a 15 minute break every 75 minutes? Thanks, love your work
Yes to the NaNoWriMo diaries!! I love watching all of your videos from the diary vlogs, to the productivity posts, and the things on your other channel. I sometimes listen to some of your videos while I'm writing a sprint or editing because your voice is soothing and makes me smile because you're so genuine.
People who leave bad reviews because a book was late need to get a life! They need to realize that Authors are people and life happens. Sorry that happened to you.
The motivational speeches at the end of your videos always make me feel better. And reflective. I’m so happy you’re getting back on track with taking care of your happiness. Cannot wait for the new NanoDiaries!
This is so inspiring and motivating! I finally started doing theme days (one aspect of my writing/business per day instead of task hopping) and the 90 days planning after watching your videos and it's made such a difference in productivity and keeping me from getting completely burned out! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your wisdom with the world!
Yay for a fresh start! Thanks for watching and please don't forget the thumbs up!

Your numbers are huge and a dream! 👏👏👏 I’m trying to grow my newsletter to 30. 😆😆😆

love this!!!! would love to see Nanowrimo diaries again!!! also irrelevant to the content, but I love your haircut & highlights ❤
I would love to see another NaNoWriMo Diaries series!
I love that you have changed from available days to available pomadoros. I actually did a version of this with your Q2 planner. I did full hours, but it worked much better for me than full days :)
I’m in a all digital phase right now so I’d love the digital planner!! But don’t worry I always make the PDFs work 💕

Thank you. I am 2 weeks behind. But I I am working on my goals and making some progress.
Sweet Sarra, you are an inspiration and a joy. Thank you! Your mental health message is so heartfelt and needed for so many. Getting my board up today :-)
Hi Sarra,
When will your Publish and Thrive course open for registration? I want to make sure I don't miss it.
Thank you so much for your awesome video!
It will open on Sunday next week!! July 23rd!
Love the update, and yes, please to more Nanowrimo diaries!
I hope you know how inspiring and helpful you are!! Thank you for this video.
Yayyyy!!! I was waiting for this video all week 😂🥳
As always, you are so genuine and inspiring. Thanks for this great video.
I love your NaNo Diaries!
Sarra Cannon When you said u needed a book keeper and assistant? are those the same thing? I would be happy to help you if u need anything
No it's two different things. I'll be posting a job listing soon for the assistant!
You have no idea how much I have been waiting for this video. Because of your kanban board videos, I get to learn so much about planning and how much this is helping me 😊
Thank you so much! Totally makes my day!
Yes love the nanowrimo diaries😍
I love you more for your openness and vulnerability! You are truly amazing!!! Big hugs!!!! 🤗 💕
NEVER apologise for children being children! Life happens, children play and are loud. That's normal and not something to be sorry about.
Why SOMEONE/ANYONE would one-star a book because of a delay or two, or three - - that is STUPID! You rate the BOOK, not the delays. I hate when people do personal attacks/reviews when really you are rating the BOOK not the person. Congrats Sarra!! Keepin it real.

I always get pumped to do a Kanban board, but then I get discouraged when I don’t meet my goal. I just need to get over myself lol.
Maybe set more realistic goals! Or "Good/Better/Best" where the good, lower level goal is much easier to achieve. Have you tried that?
@@HeartBreathings I haven’t tried that, but I will this time and see how it works out. Thank you for all of your great videos!
Thank you for being so honest about mental health issues - you are completely right in that your mental health MUST come first
People who leave bad reviews because a book was late need to get a life! They need to realize that Authors are people and life happens. Sorry that happened to you.
Are you part of any supportive pcos groups or do you know of any that aren't pregnancy centric?
How do you get so many sales and how do you estimate it? How does a first-time published author garner sales?
I love your energy and your spirit you are so generous and a real help for anyone wanting to organize for any project not just writing.
With taco Tuesday on you meal plan why not make large batches of taco meat so there is a batch made ahead
nice to see you. you are beautiful as always
Love this message ! Here’s to the next Q!😀
Great video. Yes to Nano diaries🥰
Do you have or had a life coach?
Love you sarra ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great video Sarra!!
I feel sick that it is Q3 and I havn't accomplished a damn thing.....PTSD sux. TY for sharing tho, very motivating.
Yay! So glad to see an HB video 🥰 I'm currently reading Screenwriting Tricks and it's amazing... love this channel... it helps so much.
The motivational speeches at the end of your videos always make me feel better. And reflective. I’m so happy you’re getting back on track with taking care of your happiness. Cannot wait for the new NanoDiaries!
Woo new quarter 🎉

Great video Sarra! Always enjoy your content and process, very helpful to helping me
turtle tee yessss!
I love your goals on mental health as a fellow anxious writer, I am so inspired by that!
love the time blocks... so much more manageable
Omg I was thinking of trying the kanban board and I think this vid is my sign lol
Would it be possible to train George to be your PA?
I love these videos :)
Now I understand why you don't use your HB90 planner that much-because you're using other planners!
