Getting Things Done Bloggiesta Style

{Sep 28, 2012}

I decided to get a head start on some of the Bloggiesta Fall 2012 Mini-Challenges last night - working

Getting Things Done Bloggiesta Style

1. Mini-challenge: Using a Blogger Journal and Calender
- Done! The picture at the beginning of this post is of my notebook with to-do list. I've tried using calendars for blogging, but it doesn't work for me. Instead I just draft the entries in my blogging software and save post ideas there.

2. Mini-challenge: How to Use Evernote
- Done! I downloaded this last night, and I'm using it to keep track of books read from different countries for my Olympics Reading Challenges.

3. Mini-challenge: 20+ Discussion Post Ideas For Your Book Blog (my own post) - I've already written and scheduled 2 Book vs. Movie posts coming up in the next few weeks.

4. Mini-challenge: Get Personal
- I don't usually share too much personal stuff here - BUT let me step outside that a bit and share that I started In Vitro Fertilization treatments at the end of August (after 2 surgeries to get ready). And egg+sperm met on September 11, 2012; I had the embryo transfer on September 16, 2012. And on September 26, 2012, I found out I'm preggers! Just 2 weeks which is VERY EARLY - but I can't help but be excited. The picture below is of the 2 embryos they transferred into moi!
