Some Blog Love + Keeping a schedule

I have mentioned before and have posted before some of the photography blogs that I follow but I also follow a lot, and I mean a lot, of design blogs.  I love to see how they organize, decorate, and learn a lot of do-it-yourself ideas.  And I have to say that the interior photography is pretty rad!

Here are a few of them that I love to read.

• Poppytalk
• Designsponge
• Aesthetic Outburst
• Life's A Design
• Apartment Therapy

Check them out for some awesome design ideas!  They are on my daily read.

And I recently read on another photographer's blog, Candice Benjamin, about keeping a schedule and really making time count.  I have tried this and I am a little bit embarrassed to admit that I have failed in sticking with a set schedule.  Albeit this fact, Candice reminded me that I should try to make another schedule and really try sticking to it.  A better schedule.  Better than last time.

Here is my new schedule!  Of course, there is some flexibility considering I may have shoots scheduled and meetings but this is the general schedule.

• 7am-745am:  Workout
• 8am-9am:  Shower, get ready to work
• 9am-2pm:  Work ( I work part time for another company as a product photographer)
• 3pm-4pm:  Eat and relax
• 4pm-8pm:  Work, emails, Facebook, blogs, mail, etc.
• 11pm:         Sleep.

Hopefully I can stick to this schedule and so far, we're on day 5.  I've ran every day, made food at home, and I feel like I'm not all over the place with my work.  Now that it's on the internet, I feel a little more bound to it!  

Happy Friday!
