LOL to all the people that think bloggers spend their day’s playin dress up, taking selfies, & going to cool insta-worthy events. I WISH it were that easy.
If you wanna be a blogger, or you are one struggling with the daily hustle, the one piece of advice I have for you is to be RIDICULOUSLY organized. Streamlining my work flow is literally the only way I keep my sanity.
Whether you write to-do lists on paper, schedule your iPhone calendars to the last minute, or use a time blocking cube (IDK about those, but people swear by them)- keep your shit organized. I’ve been diagnosed with ADD (who hasn’t though?) in the past, so it’s extremely crucial for me to get super OCD on what needs to be done in a day. If I didn’t have a plan I would get distracted by EVERYTHING around me. Dishes, dogs, taking 20 pointless photos of my shoes that I end up deleting, killing flies with my brutal new fly swatter, shopping for pointless shit on Amazon (like inhumane fly swatters)- whatever it is, it will 100% distract me.
WHICH IS WHY MY DAILY BLOGGER CHECKLIST IS KEY FOR MY PRODUCTIVITY LEVELS. I have been compiling this list over my years of blogging & alway use it as my home base for what needs to be done. Maybe I can’t get to ALL of it every single day of the week, but I sure as hell try & it really reigns me in when I feel I am starting to stray.
My list is in the form of a messy notes doc on my computer, so I got all fancy & made a FUN printable for you guys! Save it to your desktop, print it out, laminate it, grab some fine tip whiteboard pens (yes, fine tip is a must!) & get your daily schedule ON POINT.
AM I MISSING ANYTHING? LMK! My daily checklist is always growing/changing/evolving & would love to hear what you guys may be doing that I am missing.
