Is it too early for the New Year? Well, I’ve decided already that I’m over it. Skip Christmas (who needs that?*), and move straight to the new year’s refresh. Sounds good, right?
*alright, alright I’m enjoying the neighbor’s pretty lights :)
Take these shelves, for example.
So as the test goes, does it give you joy? Otherwise it goes in the trash. Sometimes the same stuff tends to collect on the shelf. Do these give me joy? Well, I’m just a bit tired of looking at them.
But the shelves definitely need a refresh. A little goth-ing up. (And several years ago, somebody bought way too many plushies! oops XD)
If it doesn’t bring you joy right now, put it in a box in the closet.
That’s what I did, digitally, to a bunch of old designs in the store a while ago, ones I didn’t want to look at anymore. I turned them off so they would sit silently as “unpublished”.
Then somehow, in December, I realized that all this old stuff had been turned ON again and the store’s categories were full of them.
No, we didn’t suddenly sell loads of them. (We sold a couple, which kind of sucked as I had already thrown out the screens.) And I realized even more that the store was full of things, even the “published” ones, that I just didn’t like.
And that maybe it was time to bring in the big trash bags.
Because I want something new, something exciting, and most of all something I like.
What does that look like? I’ll discuss it in Part 2 with the next email!
(But here’s a hint! If you’ve got your eye on a particular design that isn’t new, consider this your warning to grab it now! Changes will be coming. *insert evil laugh*)
