Getting Unstuck and Following My Path; Changes Are Coming
HaHa,, Shopping is Something which we females never get bored off. I second that. (y)
Have you ever been stuck? I have been stuck for a over a year now. I’m working hard to figure out why and to wade my through through the muck.
Project Balance???
I tried to use #ProjectBalance last year to get unstuck, but that just left me frustrated and feeling guilty because I didn’t accomplish any of those goals. I started out 2013 doing better, but let it all go in March.
I love blogging, but I haven’t been feeling it lately and I finally figured out why. I haven’t been dong any writing about me. Writing about what is going on in my tech-filled life. I enjoy doing reviews and bringing new products to you, but lately, it’s taken over my blogging. It’s not going away, I’m just going to be modifying my policies.
My Blog is a Business
My blog is now a business, but I haven’t been the best at treating it like a business. It’s my fault. I am going to be spending much of April putting policies and systems into place. I’m going to set up and/or updating the following:
- About Me page
- Media page
- PR information
- Review Criteria
- Comment policy
- Guest posting information
- Financial records
- Business plan
- Business Goals
- New Logo (maybe?)
- New theme
- Editorial Calendar
- Major blog cleanup of old posts & comments
Then come May, I’m going to get back to teaching you more about how to use technology to enhance your life. I’ve lost my way and I’m getting back on that yellow orange brick road.
Getting Unstuck
What do you do to get unstuck and find your mojo? What would you like to see on this blog? What topics?
Please fill out this survey so I have a better idea of who you are.
Michele, you have no idea how close to home this post is to me. I honestly look forward to following your journey – no pressure but you’ll be helping me in the process 🙂
Personally, I think it’s doing a little each day that gets me out from being stuck and finding my mojo. When I look at everything together I get a bit of that rabbit in the headlights feeling and just freeze. 1 step at a time moves me forward.
Being at a standstill is always a nuisance. Unfortunately, I find myself in the same situation every so often and, thus, you have my full empathetic understanding. A little advice for you would be to start focusing on yourself rather than on others. I`ll be waiting for the changes. Good luck!
Thank you Simona! You are so right. I definitely need to take some time for me.
Whenever I get stuck at something I take some time off doing something completely different. Some time away from the problem can help your subconcious figure out a way to solve it. You know, the best ideas come when you least expecti them. Good luck with this. Cheers!
I feel you as well Michele. \”Help, I \’ve fallen and I can\’t get up\” comes to mind for me! It has been four months since I have blogged – Eeeks! I shall be doing similar steps as you, however, I struggle even with my goals while being in a \”metamorphosis\” of sorts (life altering changes I refer to as an adventure!). How funny. I have been doing a lot of online shopping as of late! LOL! Looking forward to the return of your technology posts Michele. Meanwhile, I shall join you and Margarita. Here\’s to the the safe and rejuvenated return of our mojo! 🙂
Oh girl! I feel you! I have been so bad with my own blog for the same reasons. My self editing has been ridiculous lately. I’m changing everything as well. Maybe we are having a mid-blog crisis? 🙂
Oh I love that. Yes. A mid-blog crisis. Maybe I need to run out and buy a hot new car for me and my blog. Or at least a hot new gadget.
Or maybe you and I need a trip to a nice hot beach to find our mojo. It might just be at the bottom of a Margarita.
Good luck. Hope you get your mojo back!
Thank you, Nicole!
When I get stuck – I go shopping! It just seems like the best way for me to wander around window shop, look at what is in season etc and get fresh ideas for my blog.
Since you have 4 kids .. you may want to focus on how you’re teaching technology to your kids (or are they teaching you ? )

Monica – Shopping is always good. My real problem isn’t ideas, but sitting down an getting them on paper. I have more ideas than time. Jusf no mojo to write.
