My participation probably won't be as good as it was last fall, but I am planning to jump in as much as possible. I have a small to-do list (and thankfully no design problems to tackle):
1. Update my review policy...some parts of it need adjusting.
2. Create a review calendar for the ARCs I have left for this year. I have them all written down, but I want a better view of what my year in reviewing will look like (so that I know where to fit in my other reads).
3. Try to get ahead on some non-review posts, and get them scheduled.
4. Create a blog calendar of intended posts for the month of April. I did this in December/January and it was great, but I fell off the wagon in February.
5. Organize my Google Reader/Feedly account. It's a little out of control. This was also a goal for September's Bloggiesta...fail!
That's it for now, though we'll see if I add to that once I read through the mini challenges...happy blogging, all!
Great goals, good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monika!
DeleteI don't have a lot of time this weekend to do Bloggiesta, but I'm going to see what I can get done! Updating the review policy is a good idea; I should add that to my list. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I don't have loads of time either. Ended up with way less time today than I anticipated! Hopefully more tomorrow.
DeleteA review calender, I could do with one of those, it's so easy to forget what days you've deadlines and the free days you can write other posts for. Looks like you're going to be particularly organised by the end of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so! :)
DeleteKelly those are fantastic goals, I too really need to go through my Google reader and delete subscriptions that I no longer follow or no longer gets updated. All the best for your remaining goals.
ReplyDeleteMy Bloggiesta Goals
Have a great Bloggigesta weekend!
Thanks Angelica! I didn't do a great job this time around, but I am going to work on the Google Reader thing today (albeit a day late).
DeleteYour list reminds me that I need to do something about my calendar, too. Basically I write things down on notes and put them in order on the spindle. Gah! Not very professional....lol
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your party here...and have a great weekend. Here's MY BLOGGIESTA POST
I wish I could find a calendar for like, the next 6 months, all on one big piece of paper. That would make it so easy to see everything laid out!
DeleteGood luck! Planning ahead with my posts always works well for me!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Bloggiesta To Do List
Yes, me too! I didn't get totally caught up, but made some progress.
DeleteGood luck with your list! I like the idea of creating a calendar for ARCs. I'm totally stealing that idea. ;) As of now I have sticky notes on their spine with the dates they are released written on them. I *thought* that would do the trick but the damn notes fall off! ;) So blah blah, enough about me. Have a productive Bloggiesta!
ReplyDeleteLOL about the sticky notes. I have a spreadsheet that I use, but it's just not working for me. I think a calendar is better, visually, for the way I organize stuff.
DeleteThat's a great list for limited time. I'm planning to clean up Google Reader as I transfer out of it to something that I haven't figured out yet.
ReplyDeleteJoy's Book Blog
Yes, that's why I'm doing it too. I am switching to Feedly, but I think I'm also going to check out Bloglovin'.
DeleteI have a review calendar for all the scheduled reviews and I use it to judge when I can pick up my own books vs review books!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Bloggiesta to-do list.
Good luck with your to-do list!!!
Here's my Bloggiesta to-do list.
That's exactly my goal, Kristin! I hope I can get to that point.
DeleteThese are great goals! I love how Bloggiesta helps me find new book-bloggers to follow -- look forward to reading more of your posts in the future! I grabbed your button to add to my blogroll page. :-)
ReplyDeleteHere is my Bloggiesta To-Do List.
Thanks Melissa!! Jumping over to your blog too!
DeleteI really need a better way of tracking my ARC's - a calendar sounds like a great idea! I hope you check out my Bloggiesta To Do List or join my mini-challenge about getting involved!
ReplyDeleteWill do! :)
DeleteGood luck with your goals Kelly. I was following you before on my WP reader but added you to my Bloglovin feeder as well.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a productive Bloggiesta day. Here are my goals and updates if you'd like to stop by..http://momssmallvictories.com/bloggiesta-2013-goals/
Thanks Tanya, I am following you via Feedly now...I need to check out Bloglovin'!
DeleteGood luck organizing your GR/Feedly account. I just finished that a couple weeks ago - it'd gotten way out of control because I'd not touched it in about 6 weeks. But it's very satisfying to have it neat and clean again. :)
ReplyDeleteMy Bloggiestia
Yeah, mine is pretty crazy. Really need to weed out those inactive subscriptions!
DeleteGoogle Reader is one of those tricky things. It seemed like I would delete and delete and some feeds kept coming back like a bad penny. Now that I'm using Bloglovin' I'm hoping to be able to correct that. :) I hope you got everything you wanted to accomplish done!
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope that Feedly corrects that as well!
DeleteI think you made some great, achievable goals! I hope you were able to complete some of them and had fun during this Bloggiesta!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea! I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but it's a start. :)
