Lately, I have so many ideas going that it is hard to figure out which one to focus on.  The kids are still home for the summer (yay!) so I have to really choose to use my time while they are asleep wisely…

When I thought about my plans & ideas…

I felt like this:

So I needed a goal.   I wrote everything out that I wanted to do (Like a HUGE list).

Then I went back and made a chart (think of what you did in elementary school – mind maps).   I made a mind map for each of my things.     (Some people swear by mindmeister.com – I’ve never tried them)

Then I made got a plain old sheet of notebook paper & seven different colored markers.  I picked my top 7 goals and I wrote them at the bottom of the page and separated them with a thick black line.   I had 7 columns.

I wrote the way that I was going to get there at the top.

Example:

Goal—>>> Sell my new printable organizing binder.   I wanted to think of a good way to market it because it was brand new & took months to go from idea to product.  Now it needed to sell itself… with a little help.
Solution –>>> Do a declutter course & have the printable organizer for sale at the end of it.
Problem–>> what about those not in the declutter course?
Solution –>> take pictures & add it to the bottom of other posts for people to purchase.

So my paper now says:
Top:  TAKE IMAGES/ADD TO POSTS/ADD TO COURSE
Bottom: Printable Organizing Binder

That is column one.

I did this 6 more times for 6 more products.

It takes a few hours (or days) to really get you where you need to be, but you will feel so much better getting all of your ducks in a row & having a plan to get them there.

Now… I feel like this:  

Whatever your blogging goals are, take a piece of paper RIGHT NOW and write them down.
Then (today, tomorrow, next week) start going through them, one by one, and figure out how you will get there.

Good luck!
