I’ve made some changes this fortnight. First I left my job and went full-time in my blog and social media consultancy. THEN I got offered a great 6 month contract for that consultancy and since Monday I’m busier than ever. It’s the same, same sort of hours, the same work I’m good at doing, similar environment that I’m used to. But I work afternoons instead of mornings four days a week and it’s thrown everything out of whack.
So I need some help friends.
Help meeeee.
Heeeeeeeeelp meeeeee.
Please.
I need you to give me your best tips for getting into a new routine. As far as I can see in these early stages I will need to be blogging in the mornings, probably exercising too. I need to get to bed earlier {I’m not sure I’m programmed that way}. I need to finish the backlog of work I have now and create the new opportunities I started cultivating last week so that they are available when this contract ends. I’ll need to generate content in blocks and probably try to photograph ALL my weekend outfits so I have them. Which means I might need more clothes. Haha.
See I have the plan, now what? Show me the way folks. Give me your best how to sink your teeth into a new routine tip. After a couple of weeks I’ll let you know how I’m going with a follow-up post. Sound good? Let’s roll.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I have gone from working from home to in an office. I have everything in my phone as an alarm every workday. “Get up”, “stop playing with the animals and get dressed”, “go to work”, then when I get home there are a few more and the final one is “go to bed”..
It worked for me and 8 weeks in I am in a routine!
This is a great idea actually. I’m going to start this tomorrow! Thank you.
Good luck in your new adventure Suger. I would love to give you tips, but Im also in the throws of “Insanity”. Looking forward to listening to how you go.
Thaaaaank you! Fun, right? Keep an eye out for an update post.
First of all congratulations!!!
I Write down my entire week hour by hour every Sunday night and make sure that I account for everything even just hanging out on facey connecting with friends (I allow this in 10 minute slots three times a day). I cross each task off as I go and if something unexpected happens that takes more time, I reduce my playime (facebook, Instagram and Twitter with friends) and I hate reducing my playtime 🙁
I am only contactable via email so I am never on my phone, this helps a lot and my clients have adjusted to this beautifully – I don’t even answer texts as I recieve hundreds of these a day.
Good luck and well done xo
Thank you! I appreciate the luck, it’s going to be a whirlwind 6 months around here. Real hold onto your hat times. Haha.
Nice. A bit of scheduling suits me just fine. I’ll get started tomorrow being a little more specific with my time. Really working out where the heck it’s going. I have a feeling it might have something to do with napping. 😛
