Increase Your Productivity by Organizing 2021 Now

2021 is here! There is no time like the present to get your home and office organized and increase your productivity. Filling in planners, setting up new files, folders, and clearing the clutter can give you a fresh start for the New Year.

Refreshing your blog, social media, and posts are a great way to kick start the New Year energized. This is also the perfect time to organize your paperwork and computer files at work and at home.

Are you ready to start making money with affiliate sales? Creating your own course or eBook? 2021 is the perfect time to reach your goals.

****β€œThis post contains affiliate links in banners/ photos/*words. If you use these links, I will get a small commission from your purchase. As an Amazon Associate, I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.”****

Feeling overwhelmed?

My Freebie Library also has a number of planners for busy households, teachers, and bloggers

and so much more, so check them out.

β€œIf you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” Benjamin Franklin

Fill-in these FREE planners.

  • If you are like me, you probably already have appointments scheduled at least into February. Write to your appointments. If you are filling in the planner for several people, you might use different colors for the different people. (You might use a blue pen for your appointments.)

  • Set your goals by week/day, month, by 6 months… Make your goals attainable.

  • Plan your meals a week in advance. Make a shopping list of items before you go to the store. This will help create a budget you can stick to, and it makes you a more efficient shopper.

  • Update To-Do lists every day. Priorities change, new items get added…

  • Inspirational quotes to keep you moving forward.

  • Plan out some of your blog posts. Brainstorm ideas and supporting details for the next month. (Many bloggers write several posts at once, and space them out in posts over a month or more.)

  • Keep track of the important people in your life. Update addresses.

Do you want an incredibly detailed, high-quality family /household organizer for the whole year? Β *Deluxe Home Binder–by Abby Lawson thought of EVERYTHING! This is the perfect solution to organize your whole year for busy families and households. This binder covers calendars, lists & logs for recipes, meal planning, medical sheets, finance, Chore Charts, fitness, party planning, pet information, call log, travel information, vehicle maintenance… and so much more.

Free Fun Planner for Teachers Pre-K-5th Grade

  • Weekly Lesson Plan Template

  • Monthly Lesson Plan Template

  • Theme Lesson Plan Template

  • Center Activity Template

Also, in my freebie library are social media planners to increase blog traffic. These include:

  • Pinterest Board schedulers

  • Facebook Group Schedulers

  • Linky Party Schedulers

  • Book Challenges Schedulers

  • Watch out for the ever-changing algorithms in social media.

  • Comment on other blogs.

Revamp your Pinterest Boards.

  • Fresh pins are queen. This means new images and effective Pinterest SEO for links to your blog.

  • Only pin fresh pins to 1-3 boards. Three boards max.

  • Create new Pinterest boards.

  • Create new pins. *Ivory Mix has an amazing library of top quality photos that will save you a ton of time creating appealing pins and products.

  • Use quality Pinterest SEO to increase views.

  • Join new Pinterest Groups in your niche. More is NOT better. You want niche-specific SEO optimized group boards, only.

 

  • Use The *Pinterest Ninja Course to skyrocket your Pinterest Business account. This course is the most comprehensive course I have taken. Meghan takes you from the beginning, setting up your Pinterest account, to getting meaningful engagement.

  • I went from 6K Audience Viewers to over 130K. I let my account fail to make it succeed. I let my Pinterest account tank because the Pinterest algorithm shifted dramatically.

  • As I went through the beginning of the course, I realized a made a basic set-up mistake. OOPs, but hey, I learned from my mistake. I revamped ALL my boards and SEO, and saves and pages links increased! Yeah!

  • Invest in yourself and your business. *Pinterest Ninja Course As a BONUS, Meghan’s course also provides a priceless and super supportive Facebook Mastermind with your purchase!Β  Meghan and the knowledgeable participants answer questions the group has about Pinterest. I cannot say enough about how this course and Facebook group are so valuable. I have seen some courses charge 10Xs as much.

Update your Business Facebook page.

  • Read the eBook *Strategies Worth Sharing by Brittany Ann for the best advice about Facebook I have seen in my 2 and Β½ years of blogging. It is very affordable, and it provides a clear map of how to maximize Facebook Business Page without using Facebook Ads.

  • Join a new Facebook Groups. See this post for New Bloggers’ Guide to Facebook Groups.

  • Post reader engagement items often.

Increase engagement on Twitter.

  • Follow more people in your niche.

  • Retweet relevant posts.

  • Make comments on other people’s posts.

Ready to Create Your Own eBook or Course in 2021?

*eBook Ninja Your course does not have to be blogging related. It could be money management, a DIY course, Personal Care… Be creative and think outside the box. What are you enthusiastic about and know about? Transform it into a class. It can take the form of an eBook as Megan did with *eBook Ninja. This can include videos and links.

*Ebook Bestseller Bootcamp Course by Ana-The She Approach – Ana’s step-by-step signature video course that teaches bloggers & entrepreneurs how to write, launch and sell their first (or next) bestselling eBook

Ready to Make Money with Affiliate Marketing?

Β *Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing by Michelle Shroeder-GardnerΒ -– This course is another amazing resource! Plenty of beneficial content focuses on monetizing your blog using affiliate marketing. Resources are well organized and straightforward. I think of it as the quintessential course/manual of how to start, operate, and monetize your blog using affiliate marketing while following the rules and laws that govern the internet. Yes, there are rules and laws to deal with when monetizing your blog. There are six modules in this course and an extensive Bonus section.

Welcome – Introduction to the Course, workbook pages, and access to a private Facebook group. Do you want to know more about Β *Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing by Michelle Shroeder-GardnerΒ -–? Β Click the blue link or go HERE for my in-depth Step-by-Step building your blog post which includes insight into Michelle’s course.

Get Organized Digitally and in Physical Formats

  • Categorize Folder on the computer-Put random documents in file folders on the computer that can be easily accessed.

  • Delete your excess email. Use a bulk function if you have it to do it faster.

  • *Use colored hanging file folders to group categories. For example, all retirement hanging files might be red.

  • Use *regular folders to separate into smaller subcategories such as IRAs, 401 K, different companies…

  • Use a *transportable file folder for the current year with different colored tabs. Put this in an accessible place.

  • *Letter Hanger– We have one with 3 slots. Each slot can be a category 1) Bills, 2) Other Relevant Mail, and 3) Junk mail to be sorted later. Bonus: We save time looking for our keys because now we put them right on the key hooks underneath. πŸ˜‰

Happy New Year, Marifaith!πŸŽ‰ It just takes a little extra time in the beginning to organize. I usually tidy up on Fridays at work to get ready for the next week. I give you a lot of credit for homeschooling your kids!😊
I taught Kindergarten and Second grade for a few years, and then I taught adults for many years, after. How old are your children? You will see I have a section for parents/teachers grades Pre-K – 5th grade. If you subscribe to my blog, you will get a free teacher planner that includes a template for lesson plans, themes, weekly and monthly planner. You will also have access to my free floral planner for busy people, and some free activities for kids.
Thank you,
Christina

Happy New Year, Henrietta! I love Ultimate Bundles, too! There is another one coming soon. I have bought several of them, and I am thrilled with the value. The only con is that the sales are so short. This one is done, but if you sign up for my blog you can get free yearly planners from me for busy people, teachers, and bloggers.
