I spent the rest of the day tweaking and compiling all my scripts, getting them ready to record next. One thing I do a lot of is to start something and leave it half finished, moving on to start something else.\u00a0 This leaves me with lots of half done projects.\u00a0 Those are the projects I like to pull out and work on when it&#8217;s a nice rainy day and I want a break from my regular work.<\/p>\n<p>I have a whole drawer marked &#8220;Projects in Progress&#8221; which really means &#8220;Unfinished Stuff&#8221;.\u00a0 I so often surprise myself by going in there, and finding some gems that only need a little tweaking before they are ready to go.\u00a0 So in the drawer yesterday, I found 8 scripts I&#8217;d almost completed for my self-hypnosis audio series.\u00a0 I&#8217;d forgotten about them, so they just lay in the drawer for the last 16 months.\u00a0 And if I hadn&#8217;t been so darned lazy, I could have added these recordings to my website for sale a year ago.\u00a0 But noooooooooooo, I was so lazy that I didn&#8217;t even think of them.<\/p>\n<p>It made me wonder what else have I not been thinking about?\u00a0 What else do I have lying around that is unfinished, or that just needs a little tweaking to make it useable and sell-able.\u00a0 I&#8217;m lucky in that I get to hear people talk all the time about what creative things they do and what projects they are involved in.\u00a0 Listening to them always sparks creative ideas in me, too.\u00a0 In readings, when they ask questions, they call forth answers that I am excited to hear also, especially when it comes to questions I haven&#8217;t thought of myself.<\/p>\n<p>So I think now, what other projects have I not been thinking of, what else do  I have lying around that just needs a little tweaking to finish up?\u00a0 <em>I&#8217;ll bet you have half a dozen of them yourself<\/em>.\u00a0 Half a dozen ideas, anyway, that you have begun thinking of to use your talents and capabilities to bring some extra income in.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">There are a lot of us who are choosing to not participate in a recession.\u00a0 We are going to make this our best year ever and you&#8217;re invited to join us.<\/span> Take a look around you and see what you have that you could put to use, or ready for sale.\u00a0 Something that may just need a little tweaking.\u00a0 Begin a list and you&#8217;ll be surprised at how quickly the list grows.\u00a0 Make a new list for the ideas that come to you as you do the &#8220;projects to finish&#8221; list.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, this isn&#8217;t a list of more things you have to do.\u00a0 This is simply a list of what you have in process.\u00a0 What you have available and on hand.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t have to finish or work on anything on the list if you don&#8217;t want.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s helpful to know what you have.\u00a0 Like if you wanted to bake a cake, you&#8217;d want to make sure you have eggs and flour and sugar and a cake pan.\u00a0 If you didn&#8217;t, you&#8217;d simply put them on a list so you knew you needed them for next time.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s on your list?\u00a0 If nothing comes to mind, <em>pretend you know <\/em>and just make up a bunch of stuff and write it down.\u00a0 Doing that helps you release resistance so that real answers come forth from your subconscious and you start to write them.\u00a0 Pretend you know.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s on your list?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;
