Letting go

Letting go.

Autumn to me usually feels like a time for fresh starts and new endeavours. But right now for me, it feels like a time for letting go.

I've already let the Everyday Knitter Facebook group go (and am loving the Mighty Networks alternative). I genuinely didn't realise the negative effect that Facebook had on me until I cut my usage by 90%.

And now I find myself looking around at other aspects of my life and wondering what else can go.

What else do I not need?

Next up, rather obviously is Ravelry. I'm already well underway with my Payhip store and I'm now at the stage where 60% of my sales are now on Payhip - and my Ravelry invoices are the lowest they've been in 3 years.

Something else that I've previously thought to be essential, turns out not to be.

That's the thing about disruptive change I guess. Once you start it really challenges thoughts and ideas that you've always held true.

Do I really need this? Or do I just think I do? Interesting times for sure.

If you were challenged to let one thing go, what would it be?
