Working from home is a double-edged sword. On one hand, I work alone and make my own schedule doing what works best for me. On the other hand, I still work alone. While I enjoy the quiet moments, I miss my days in the newsroom where I have a team of creatives to bounce ideas off of at any given moment and word nerds that I can rely on when something just doesn’t fit right with my writing. And I’m not going to lie, it’s a helluva lot harder to adhere to my own deadlines when I don’t exactly hold myself accountable for not meeting them. So, to kickstart my creativity each week and set some solid goals, I’m reaching out to the blogging-sphere for some inspiration and motivation.
This week I’m joining Meylssa from The Nectar Collective, and a host of other fellow bloggers, in the the pursuit of of meeting goals and encouraging one another to make shit happen. Let’s get to it!
This week’s wishes/goals
1. Set up CoSchedule. I’m terrible at managing my social media content with my blog posts. I’m even worse at staying consistent about posting anything. Solution: Schedule all of my drafts, ideas, posts and stories using this sweet little calendar that looks to be a lifesaver. If you’re anything like me I highly encourage you to check it out and I’ll hopefully reporting back to you next week with how productive it made me 😉
2. Publish three blog posts. I have some great stuff locked and loaded, I just need to get it out there for your eyes to enjoy.
3. Put together a resources page. I can’t tell you how many people are curious as to what camera and lenses I shoot with, how I edit my photos, what’s in my equipment bag, etc. I’m thinking a little guide to what goes into my photography would be useful, stay tuned!
What are you hoping to accomplish this week?
Hey there! Visiting from Weekly Wishes!!! Good Luck on your goals and have a great week!

Nice post!
Oh yes it’s hard when nobody’s pushing you to achieve a deadline! With my posts I found myself to frequently say: “oh, I’ll do it tomorrow!” Now I make a weekly schedule of everything I’d like to achieve and try to stick to it, at least for 75% 🙂
Thank you so much for the coschedule push! I registered today and can’t wait to see how this works for me but it looks completely awesome and may tai some of the stress out of planning! Thank you!
I’m glad to hear it, Liv! It has helped me stay on top of my posts and makes everything so much less stressful! Have fun with it and good luck 🙂
