Don't Fight Nature

I am an introverted Highly Sensitive Person.* Maybe you can relate? This trait affects the running of my Etsy business in this dog-eat-dog world. I get easily rattle in stressful situations, perform poorly when being watched and multitasking makes me absolutely bonkers!

What's a sensitive entrepreneur to do? I've always felt a little out of step with my surroundings. My catch phrase is 'the world was not built for me'. First, don't fight your nature. Instead, learn to be comfortable with who you truly are. I am accepting my trait into my lifestyle and business choices.

Enhantsy

Love it. 

Enhantsy works by tightly integrating with etsy.com making enhancements and features requested by the Etsy community but not inmplemted by Etsy. Some enhancements are re-introducing functionality once present at etsy.com and since removed. Others are new ideas not (yet) implemented on etsy.com. 

 My favorite part is Treasurease. I can collect all my beautiful objects in one place then install them in a treasury. At first, I was thinking messy closet...

...but Enhantsy is elegant. More like collecting this way...

Eye of the Needle

 I can't see to thread my needle any longer. My eyes are blurry and tired. Any activity that requires intense use of the eyes -- such as extended amounts of driving, writing, reading or, in my case, stitching -- can cause eye fatigue. Time to give them a rest.
