Those who believe blogging is easy are very mistaken. Blogging has become my passion, I absolutely love it. At times I can be a bit perfectionist with my blog because it has easily become part of my everyday life. Unfortunately there are so many external and internal factors that affect my productivity. So, in order to accomplish my blog goals I have a few essentials for productivity.
Early morning start with touch of COFFEE– First of all I am not a morning person. At times it’s very difficult for me to get my head off the pillow and my fingers keep sneakily pressing the alarms snooze button. That’s something we are all guilty of but honestly the earlier you began your day the more you’ll get accomplished. My mornings must start off with a dash of French vanilla coffee which gives me the extra energy I need to be a bit more productive.

Comfortable and organized work space- Having a messy work place gives me stress. In order to keep focused my desk has to be organized and clean. I can’t concentrate on anything thinking or worrying about the mess surrounding me. Working in a comfy area rid of all messes provides easy access for my creativity to flow.
Aromatherapy-An easy way to boost productivity is through aromatherapy. Scented candles not only freshen up the air and relax but they can also improve attentiveness. A few of the scents I use to keep me alert are peppermint, lavender, rosemary, cinnamon and jasmine.
Eliminate all distractions– I’m pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADD because I’m easily distracted. This means that when I’m working I eliminate all distractions. So in order to stay completely focused and productive while I work there is no cell phone, no TV and no social media. These are just distractions that waste your time.
Prioritize and plan- A storm of ideas constantly pops into my little head so I keep a notebook with me at all times to write everything down. Forgetting your creative ideas is horrible that’s why it’s crucial to write them. Prioritizing is also important to keep a successful blog running. Keep an agenda to jot down all your meetings, photo shoots, blog post uploads and events. Planning everything you want on your blog simplifies you life greatly. There’s so much that goes into blogging from writing posts, proof reading, editing, creating themes and outfits, carry out photo shoots, maintaining social media up to date, answering countless emails and comments, so on and so on. Prioritizing and planning are essential in having a productive day.
So those are the simple essentials I use daily to be productive. Whether you’re a blogger, entrepreneur or business owner I’m sure these tips will be very helpful to accomplish your goals.
