A Blog Confession #NaBloPoMo

What is the one skill you see in other bloggers that you wish you had?

 

Blog Confession

Good question… where do I start?  I hate to compare myself, that is something I’ve learned is NOT beneficial at all, but for the sake of today’s blog prompt, let’s do this. NaBloPoMo has shown me that I SUCK AT TIME MANAGEMENT/ORGANIZATION, there I said it, it’s out there in the world. DONE.

Okay, I guess I should share a little bit more. I would love to say I have a plan of attack and then I slay it, but that’s not always the case. Well, I do finish, but it doesn’t happen as I planned, and it’s most certainly NOT a slaying.  Most days I’m rushing to finish editing pictures, catching up on comments, scheduling, and responding to tweets or other social media outlets.  I’m all over the board.

I’ve tried to sit and blog a week’s worth of posts  over a weekend, but it’s hard for me to do.  I’ll have two posts done or halfway  done, but it’s the weekend… I wanna go out and have fun. Plus, there’s Mommy guilt.  I only have so many weekends with these guys underneath my roof.

I create schedules for myself, but for some reason after a few days, I drop them.  I purchased a big calendar to keep blogging organized, but it’s nowhere near what I dreamed it would be.  I’ve seen other bloggers who have immaculate desks, with cute little inspirational aspirations engraved in the bark of a tree from one of their camping trips (blogged), and their calendars are color coded!  Aside from their color coded desk calendar they have the most beautiful planners with their blog plans planned throughout the year!!  I wish I could do that, and stick to it.  

Do a quick search on Pinterest for blog organization or blog time management, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.  There are tons of free printables to help bloggers become organized, and trust me, I’ve pinned them all.  Have I printed one yet…. no.  I’m on that. I let you know how that goes because 2015 will be a whole new organized Dean.

I see people post daily, stay on top of their comments, as well as comment on other blogs, and I’m thoroughly impressed with this skill.  I hate that I sometimes dawdle, what the heck is wrong with me!!!!!  I don’t want to take my sweet a** time answering back and returning the favor, I really don’t.  I appreciate every single visit here, plus if you leave me a comment an angel gets its wings, so, of course, I want to THANK YOU!  I always comment back, but sometimes it takes me a minute, because what you don’t see is everything I’m doing on my end besides blogging.  I don’t feel like that’s even an adequate excuse because I see other bloggers keep a well maintained blog, comment, and share beautiful pictures of their happy non-chaotic-looking life. Nevertheless, I will get there.  I usually post 3 times a week, which is why I’m not use to this {NaBloPoMo} schedule just yet.

 

 

So there, that’s it, there’s my blogging confession. I want to, and need to be more organized and manage my time more efficiently, especially now that I’m posting every day.

Okay, I spilled the beans, your turn.
