Thank you. I know this sort of topic comes up from time to time. Some great thoughts in that other thread.

Cardio? I lift weights, it makes me feel much better than cardio, even if I am the only girl in the weight room.

I don't think getting up earlier than my current 7AM would work for me. But perhaps I can make my morning time more optimal. Thank you for the suggestion.

Any advice for how to find such a partner? Even someone to check in with would help. Most of the people I know are through work, and I don't want to tout my moonlighting.

Thank you for your comments. I am not sure not telling people will work for me. External accountability has always been a big way of getting myself to do things.

Some great tips that I think will work, though. Perhaps a marathon day at the weekend to just get started on one single idea?

I'm not doing this for money, specifically. I can achieve my financial goals with my day job paycheck. However, I am terrified of not being able to pay the bills if I do leave my day job, and so working on a skill that will get me insta-employment if I need it. :-)

How much does Yardsale rely on Craigslist to stay alive? I posted a few items on Yardsale but got empty, flaky replies from Craigslist and still had the "crazy inbox" problem. Using this as a jumping off point to divorce from Craigslist, it would be good for Yardsale to differentiate itself with quality of buyers and manageability of enquiries rather than act as just a portal with all of the same problems and no real benefits.
