Each month, we like to set goals, make plans, or just put together a quick list of the things we want to accomplish, resolve, achieve, or finish during that month. This thread has been a tradition of the Building/Starting An eBay Business boards for as long as I can recall. It's also a chance for those participating to socialize a bit without violating board rules.
So what is it you'd like to commit to (non-binger - we all realize life happens when you make other plans!), or are working to continue during the month of June 2021?

Only six orders so far, but one was for 7 items and the other was a collection of 12 elongates, so my sales dollars are up even in my unit count is a bit down.
At work, sales have really dropped off - down about 45% in both units and dollars. The slide started pretty recently and quickly. I'm in the process of targeting old/stale listings by group, ending, reviewing, and reposting. It works well - when I started do the same with an earlier seasonal product line, we started picking up sales again. So now I need to make time to do more groups, focusing on seasonal sellers and getting them reposted first.
All the bruising from my tumble has cleared up. Still tender kneecap, but range of motion is almost 100% and a lot of the tightness when bending the knee has gone.

There is definitely a lot of pent-up angst, especially amongst the more mobile, younger folks. But I do have to say, it's a lot easier to do what I do without having to breathe thru a mask - got enough issues as it is!
Sales picked up this weekend - waiting on payment for 19 elongates going to 2 different buyers!! Makes this one of my better months in a while - and it's barely 1/2 over!!
Had a good weekend with the grands. We had two young ladies with us from Saturday early afternoon thru Sunday after lunch (actually breakfast - we rise late on weekends, really late!). Journey pretty much knows the routine - how much screeching is allowed, what not to mess with (most everything in Grandpa's room), etc. Her younger newsister (age 7) is still learning the ropes and has a few bad habits that her mother, grandmother, newfather, and now newgrandparents are hoping to change... tattling being the worse at the moment. She almost seems to enjoy it....
So we went out Saturday evening with the young ladies for Italian. One nice step up from Olive Garden - got a change to introduce the girls to a few things they hadn't tried before (olive oil & chopped green somethings for dipping the bread, real Italian sauces), so that was good. Like every restaurant, they were a bit short-staffed, so the girls were almost done eating before our food arrived -- they made the most of it by peeking over the wall behind them and watching the hustle in the kitchen. Favorite was when they'd flip the steaks and the flames would go all the way past the fire conrol system and nearly into the exit vents! Even I was a bit impressed! When we got home, two of the four of us had upset tummies from eating too much... pasta, cheesecake (Journey) and ice cream (Isabella) combined with naturally excitedness at spending the night at Grandma's made for some groaning and moaning. 🙂
Overall a great weekend. My tires are in storage waiting for Friday, when youngest will swap vehicles, load them back into the Expedition, and then mount them after his day ends but before they close the shop. If he can't get all four done, he'll do the rest Saturday after his half-day. I'm hoping he'll have time to check/replace the grille (I'm trying to install a Raptor style grille) and at least the speakers in the front doors (driver's door is dead).
Be safe everyone - drier but warm days ahead for Memphis, with the rain returning just in time for the weekend!! Seems to be the normal summer weather pattern for the last gazillion years! 😞
