Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of the last month of 2015?!
I plan to spend much of December planning for 2016 so that it will be my best year yet and I want to help you do the same.
Let’s Get Ready for 2016!
Dreams & Goals
Write the Vision
Get your favorite notebook and your favorite pen (you know you have one) and set aside 30 minutes for free writing. Begin your writing with this: “It is November 23, 2020 and I am so proud of the life I have created.”
It was with a writing prompt much like this one that I began the process of writing a vision for my life and my work.
How to Get Up Early
It’s 4:27 a.m. and I’m sitting in front of my laptop working on a blog post — this blog post.
I am a firm believer in the saying “The early bird gets the worm.” I get up between 4 and 4:30 a.m. most days of the week. People often ask me how I manage to juggle blogging, freelancing, and running a business with working a full-time job, being a wife and trying to have a social life. And one of the secrets to my productivity is being an early riser.
How to Handle Haters
There are two important facts of life you need to know if you’re writing for the web: Bloggers gonna blog and haters gonna hate.
How I Plan My Day
I have a confession.
I am addicted to planners.
I am currently using two different planners and contemplating buying a third. I use my Day Designer planner for my daily to-do lists and monthly overviews. I use my Ban.do agenda for planning my blog posts. And now that I’m working with my business coach on my 5-year vision I’m probably going to soon buy a Kate Spade agenda for keeping track of my progress on my weekly, monthly, and 90-day goals.
I have a problem.
