I had an idea for a long, thoughtful post on beating procrastination (and being productive) that I wanted to share today. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to write it. I have so much work that I've even turned a couple of assignments down. I love irony, don't you?
I did find a few minutes to procrastinate in between projects. Here were my favorite three time-wasters this week:
1. Picnik
2. Social Mention
As a change from Googling yourself, you can see how your blog or website rates with this search engine, Social Mention. It looks at places like Facebook, Twitter, and Digg and calculates things like reach (range of influence) and passion (how much your readers repeatedly talk about your brand). This site just reaffirmed what I already knew: you are amazing!
I missed this weekly chat, but I still spent time scrolling through the conversation after it ended. This week's topic on Crafterminds was SEO (search engine optimization). It's helpful info and I definitely want to participate sometime, but it's not what I should have been spending time on this week!
What online sites to do enjoy visiting as a break from work?
Button Swap Reminder
If you're participating in the Button Swap, you should be mailing (or have already mailed) buttons to your partner. I know that April seems far away, but it's actually starts next week!
