Getting Back to a Routine – Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival

September 15, 2021

Janet Barclay

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don't have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I'm away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

When a new school year starts, many of us consider it a new year for our businesses as well. As we transition from a more relaxed schedule to a regular routine, we tend to focus on the goals we set at the start of the year, while we still have time to achieve them.

To help others get back into the swing of things, I invited my readers to share their blog posts on the subject of Getting Back to a Routine for this month’s Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.

This edition of the Blog Carnival is sponsored by Julie Stobbe of Mind over Clutter. Be sure to check out her latest project, Mind over Clutter Courses, and read how it came to be in my recent post, Can an E-learning or Membership Site help you grow your business?

  I think you’re the only one who specifically blogged about evening routines. It’s great to mix things up a bit!

Thanks for including me in this terrific roundup. I’m having fun already popping around and seeing what people recommend. I think a lot of us talk about similar concepts, which I find affirming. If we all believe in routines, they must work!

  I suspect someone who was anti-routine wouldn’t contribute to this Blog Carnival, but you never know – a little controversy could stir things up a bit!
