New Schedule for blogging, reading and real life ~ Task It Tuesday!

Posted January 24, 2017 by Michelle in Task it Tuesday / 5 Comments

Welcome to Task It Tuesday! created by the Awesome The Geeky Blogger

Hosted by Michelle at Because Reading is better than real life!

What is Task It Tuesday? It is where every week I list a task or tasks that I would like to accomplish on my blog or in Real Life before next Tuesday. It can be big or small but the goal is to get something done that will make my blog/reading life/challenges run smoother, faster, or more efficient and/or get those simple or complex tasks done in my real life. I will also be sharing organizing tips and linking with posts from bloggers that have some great tips and tricks for keeping you and your blog/real life organized.


I have come up with a new schedule for how I do blog posts, I once again have been spending way to much time on the computer and not enough with my house and family. My new schedule will be all blogging on Thur – Sun and Mon – Wed will be cleaning, family fun and other stuff. I even would like to read at some point. So this week is light because I want to try out my plan and hope that this will be a better schedule for me and the blog in the coming months. Also taking a break helps me come up with ideas and I love when I get ideas. 🙂

A lot of the list is very vague because I wasn’t sure exactly how this week will go but I just want to finish of Jan and start posts for Feb.

BELOW: Don’t forget to check out the upcoming events and upcoming read-a-thons, challenges and memes. Also be sure to check out some helpful blog posts to help make you more productive.

  1. You put me to so much shame. I’m drowning at work, at home, on the blog. I actually put in a request for Friday off and the reason I selected from the drop down was illness. Yep, I already know I’ll be sick on Friday. It’s called Emotional Illness. I can’t take anymore or I’ll explode !

  2. I don’t know, you look pretty organized to me. 🙂 I don’t know that far ahead what the heck I’m doing! But yeah flexibility and being willing to switch things up I think helps with slumps and stuff. Happy Tuesday!
