I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…

Why am I so unmotivated about Craigslist?

When I started listing things in June on craigslist I got really gung-ho about it and excited and I was on a huge roll as far as listing goes.  But by mid July I was just in a slump about it, and I still am.  I took pictures of two items to list a few days ago now, and I even downloaded them off the camera, but I haven’t gotten around to listing them yet.  And I have a new ad for the baby girl clothes all worked out on paper already with a lot more specific information, and yet I still have not gotten around to posting it.

I’m just super unmotivated about the whole craigslist concept right now.  I don’t know if it is the lack of recent sales, or all the recent sales that have fallen through for one reason or another, or what.  I am *supposed* to be meeting someone tomorrow to sell them some bath and body works lotions and body spray for $10.   Hopefully that works out.  Maybe that will provide some needed motivation.

I lack follow-through.  For example, I spent about an hour last weekend going through all of the 12 month, 18 month, 2T and 3T sized clothes I used with my son, and sorted out all the things I knew I wouldn’t be using with my daughter because they scream “I’m a Boy!” on them lol.  I have two boxes of clothing now ready to be listed on craigslist and yet I can’t be bothered to write an ad.  I keep thinking I want to sort the boxes a little better and figure out what season each size corresponds to (which really would not take too long, maybe another half hour) but I don’t get around to doing it and writing a 4 sentence ad.  Ugh.

Follow-through.  Follow-through.  I will list this stuff before the weekend is over.  I will.  I will.  Maybe even today.
