How To Stop Procrastinating

Sand timer
If ever there was a book written just for me… this IS IT!!!
I have the worst time with procrastinating!  Seriously, I get into moods where I could care less about that stack of stuff on the table…that leaks over to the counter that oozes down the hallway.  This whole week has been the worst. (Okay let’s be truthful it’s wayyyyy longer than a week!)
The point is,  I could have cleaned the house and had everything done for tomorrows Thanksgiving dinner WAY early… but NO not me!!
No instead I waited so long that this whole mess has become so overwhelming!!

This is THE Book For ME!

So when I was chosen to review a book by Trevor Johnson called “How to Stop Procrastinating”.  I knew this was meant for me!!
Trevor writes about the 7 “tried and tested techniques,” and I have to say… it WORKS!!

Did It Work?

AND now/?!?!?!  I have to tell you.  My house is CLEAN!!  Not only is my house clean….  I checked my emails. I entered a few giveaways. I worked on my Google+ (do NOT get me started on that one!!)  AND still managed to have a clean house!!  I’m not frustrated.  I had time to do all things that had to get done and a few that were only important to me.
And…. for those that know me…. I’m announcing here and now I am starting to work on my craft/storage room next week.  (The people that have seen that room have now just fainted…..)
If you are like I am where you start projects everywhere and half way through look over to the other side of the room and …… “OH look! Shiny!”  This book is for you!
How to Stop Procrastinating” by Trevor Johnson  PERFECT timing… the buzzer just went off and I have homemade cranberry sauce to make!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

The Ghost Of PBnWhine Strikes Again

If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.”
Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos.

I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate. Blog posts wake up looking underdressed, like they forgot their pants.

Cue dramatic music.

After the fifth “Where did that image go?” moment, I decided to stop fighting the paranormal and use it as an opportunity. If the ghost insists on rearranging my content, then I’m going to roll up my sleeves and improve my SEO score while I’m at it.

Because if I’m re-uploading images anyway, they might as well have proper file names, alt text, and sizes that don’t make Google sigh heavily. Videos? Optimized. Old posts? Updated. Keywords? Polished like they’re heading to prom.

SEO updates aren’t glamorous. No one brings a casserole when you rename image files from IMG_8472.jpg to ghost-proof-blog-photo.jpg. But they matter. Search engines like clarity. Readers like faster loading pages. And apparently, ghosts like chaos.

While I’m updating, it’s also a great time to remind you about my monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway, where one lucky winner gets PayPal, Venmo, or a gift card of their choice. You can find all the details right here:

And because Google loves good neighbors, here’s an external resource I actually use when brushing up on SEO basics:

So if you notice posts looking sharper and loading faster, don’t worry. It’s not a haunting.
It’s just me, outsmarting the ghost… one optimized image at a time.
