There are a lot of different ways to define success, but for me, I consider myself to be a fairly successful blogger because I enjoy what I do everyday, this blog provides most of our household’s monthly income, and I continue to get countless opportunities for growth both personally and professionally, just from writing a few blog posts every month!Here’s how I do it..

have a list of the things that I’m going to do for work on any given day.I do think that non-structured, just hangin’ out online time is very valuable for stumbling across interesting tidbits of knowledge, but that’s something that really only happens for me every once in awhile, it’s not the way I go about my work day (OK, work hour) regularly.That’s more for once every few weeks on a Saturday night when I’m sitting in the living room with my family and they’re really into what’s on TV and I’m not.

And all the housework is done.🙂 Usually I make “work time” lists the night before so I can go into my 1 hour of work time completely prepared and they look something like this:.

2)Work on a blog post:10 mins.

3)Email and comments: 10 mins.Who can help but want Spring to come sooner though?.

My felt cut-out table runner and Pottery Barn Emma salt and pepper shakers.I got them for Christmas from my wonderful family, along with a bunch of other pieces and I stop to admire them at least once a day, so they’re staying out a little while longer before the Easter ones come out of the cupboard.. Blown out real eggs.
