Well my somewhat unintended blogging break has gone on for quite a while.  Perhaps long enough.  You see I committed to working on blogging today as part of the Bloggiesta festivities hosted by my sister at Maw Books.  I’m over a day behind in getting started, but I’m now officially joining in the festivities.

This long break didn’t really start out as an intended blogging break, but…

It all began with that post back an entire month ago,  A Productivity System for Getting Things Done , in which I began a quest to get my productivity back on track.

Don’t get me wrong.  I was still being highly productive, but not as productive as I could be.

You see, my systems had fallen by the way-side and I’d fallen out of the habit of using those system that helped me produce the most amount of work I could in the shortest amount of time.  Things were falling through the cracks, I was missing appointments, and forgetting important things.

So I made a conscious decision to not even think about blogging for the past month.   Sure it hurt my blog, but I’ve made big gains in other areas of my life and it was well worth it.

So in my effort to focus on the most important things, as part of today’s Bloggiesta activities I am going to concentrate on just a few things.

• Focus the bulk of my time in creating the landing page and follow-up system that I want to have in place before I can add the bulk of the blogging posts that are you on list.
• Do a little blog housekeeping.
• Spend 45 minutes helping Natasha with one of her blogging tasks in which she said, “Talk to my sister about my huge list of template sidebar changes that needs to be done.” (OK.  I spent much longer than 45 minutes.  But most of it is done.)
• Upgrade three of my blogs to the latest version of WordPress.
