Productivity and Planning

Productivity and I did not always get along. It took me having a new born, working from home, being a single mom and moving out of my "home" state to finally get with the productivity program. And even that did not fully convince me that I was going to have to learn some major productivity hacks to make my life work.

Productivity and blogging go hand in hand. Having blogged for decades but never seriously and now wanting to take it to that proverbial "next level", I can tell you that changing how I approached my blogging life as well as my actual life, is what changed how productive I was going to be that day. Taking all I had read about getting productive, I created my own system using the tooks and tricks of the trade to create the perfect productivity system. And that system has been adopted by several of my friends, family and even my clients!

I used to have a very in depth app set up that involved more apps than I can count. But after I changed my productivity plan I also decided to do a device clean up as well and evaluate how I was spending my time. 

Social Media | All About Linkups, Blog Hops & Social Sharing

I haven't really touched on the topic of linkups, blog hops and social sharing as a way to expand your social reach. So I thought, why not! When I first started blogging I was an avid user of hops and linkys; but honestly I just haven't had the time lately. 

Still, without the parties and the blog hops, my personal blog would likely not still be thriving. And without the personal blog, I never would have started blogging for business. 

So are you ready to learn the difference and why they can benefit you and your blog? Read on lovelies!
