It’s only week two, and I have already faltered.  I fell short of my listing goal by quite a bit.

This week I only listed  60 new items.

Since June 1 this puts my grand total at 158 new listings.

I really struggled with balance over the last week.  From listing, to working my other job, to my boys being out of school, to having fun family activities planned – I did not get everything out of it that I had hoped.  But, another week starts tomorrow, and I plan to do better!  Which includes going to bed early-ish tonight and getting up early tomorrow morning to get back to work.  I find that I am generally more motivated to work early in the morning before anyone else is up than I am when I put it off until after my boys are in bed.

Unfortunately, along with my lack of listing, my sales have dipped this week:

And so it goes.  Gearing up for a better week to come.

How are your summer goals going?

This week I listed 81 new items.

Since June 1 this puts my grand total at 98 new listings.

So, I stayed just above target this week . . . barely.  Next week I will try to list even more.  I am still a little behind from the first few days, and I would like to have a bit of a buffer already in place because I know there will be some busy summer days during which it will be difficult to complete all of my listings.

I am happy to report that my sales are up a bit right now too.

How are your summer goals going so far?

I have set a kinda big goal for the summer: 1000 new listings.

But really?  It’s not so big.  Because if I consistently list 11 items every day between June 1 – August 31 I will hit my goal.

Of course, I only set the goal this morning, so I am already behind.  Since the beginning of the month I have only listed 17 new items.

My plan is to check in every Monday with an update.  Anybody want to join me?  I would love to hear your summer goals (eBay or otherwise).  It would be great if we could help hold each other accountable!
