Bloggers Block

Evernote.

Yep. That’s how I got out of blogger’s block. My husband introduced it to me a couple of weeks ago and since then my brain has been in overdrive. Ideas started pouring out and my mojo was back! I believe it’s because Evernote , Pinterest and Polyvore, which are all FREE. **If you don’t have a Pinterest account, email me and I will send you an invite. If you sign up on your own, it can take a few weeks to receive an invite from them**

What exactly is Evernote? It’s like a catchall for business notes, an organizer for shopping and grocery lists, it keeps notes about inspiration for blog posts, and it store pictures. It syncs to your computer and phone, so whatever you document shows up on both. You can even send notes or photos that you create to email address or share them on Facebook, Dropbox, Twitter or as a Text message! It’s like a virtual journal! Simply. Genius.

So now I have notebooks within Evernote like:

  • Blog Topics
  • Blog Categories
  • Showit Site
  • Elopement/Small Wedding
  • 2011 Holiday Mini Shoots
  • Office Decor
One of the most important notes I created was Blog Categories. This helped me establish a blogging schedule and get organized with what I was going to write about:
Monday: write blog posts for the week, clean computer hard drive, look for office supples to finish office decor
Wednesday’s Word: anything inspirational/spiritual with words; quotes, pastors messages & scriptures, tweets
Frame It Friday: a picture of anything or anyone and explanation of why it inspired me
Self-Portrait: twice a month
Business: updates and changes to the business; branding
This & That: concerts, music, massage, juicing, health, hair journey, shellac, husband, kids, church, events, work, food
Fabulous Finds!: shoes, jewelry, clothes
DIY: do-it-yourself
Wear In Love!: polyvore boards with couples wardrobes for small weddings and elopements

How did I come up with these categories? I took a good hard look at who I was and what was important to me.

  • Wife, Mother, Christian
  • Photographer
  • Massage Therapist
  • Church Photography
  • Natural Hair Journey
  • Juicing
  • Shopping
I now have a schedule and everything is categorized and organized. So what are you doing to get out of bloggers block?
