I am taking the plunge and packing up my bags in May and heading to Bentonville , Arkansas for my first blogging conference. I am not sure what was holding me back all these years, but I decided it was time to really take this blogging thing seriously and set some goals for myself as well as my blog. I am participating in this monthly series and sharing my personal & blogging goals, called Feelin’ SoFabulous for SoFabCon14.
So what are my goals? You might be wondering really what kind of challenge is this? The prompt for this month is: What aspects are you working on (mind, body, spirit) to feel SoFabulous for SoFabCon, and what you are going to do to achieve your goals?
My biggest goal before May is to set a schedule for my blogging and be more organized in my daily tasks. Since things got a little crazy in November, I spent too much time on my bum and not at the gym or outside exercising. I have been an avid gym goer since college and feeling overwhelmed with writing posts, syndicating them etc, left me feeling tired and out of shape.
This month I am going to start writing out daily tasks for my blog and using it like a regular appointment schedule. I plan on including daily work outs, weekly outings with friends as well as all the work related tasks.
So while I would like to tone up what I gained over the holidays I think it is more important for me to make a daily schedule that will make each day of blogging productive as well as rewarding for me. I created a weekly worksheet with a few tasks and time limits for these tasks.
You can find my daily blogging tasks here.
Have you set goals for a conference before?
Meet the other ladies participating in #SOFABULOUS Challenge as well.
thanks, I just now need to stick with them:) can’t wait to meet you and see what next month’s prompt is.
I still have not used it, need to print it out and get going. UGHH
These are great goals and I love the spreadsheet you’re using. It’s a fantastic way to stay organized and on top of things. Can’t wait to see you in May.
I love your goals! It is so important to stay organized, especially with everything involved in the blogging world! SO MUCH!!! Can’t wait to see you at SoFabCon!
thanks Heather, I have not been able to start this week as I was out of town but hopefully on Monday! look forward to meeting you as well.
I love that you are making a schedule! It is so hard to make time for everything. I am sure you will be much more productive by doing this! I am excited to watch your progress and see you at SoFabCon!
What is the plugin Jennifer? I also need my hours limited to different blogging tasks.
I have finally gotten to the point that I can actually feel a bit organized in my blogging. I downloaded the editorial calendar plugin and it has been a GODSEND! Now — I never forget a post 🙂 and I can kind of get my month going with what I will be doing.
I’ll bet the conference will be fun and restorative. You’ve set some great goals for yourself too!
LOL I forgot to mention the other big step of going with a On line friend:) Look forward to meeting up in May and hoping your back is feeling better
