***Please Read Before Linking
When I first started “Anti-Procrastination Tuesdays,” the vision was a weekly THEMED link party, one that focused in on what it is we tend to procrastinate on and the motivation to do something about that. I envisioned women visiting each others blogs and writing comments of encouragement, and being inspired as we watched each other accomplish whatever it was that we had been putting off.
This is happening on a small scale, and it has been beautiful!
I have noticed the last few weeks there have been a lot more crafty/project type posts, which fits in a way, because something got done. It has been exciting to see the numbers grow each week, but it has got me thinking about just what kind of link up party do we want this to be? Do we want it to be strictly “procrastination” themed, or are you enjoying the flexibility of “anything goes” and the participants/traffic that brings? I communicated that I was flexible in what “getting something done” was, so it was only natural that there would be a variety of link ups. My fear in this is that we will lose the uniqueness of the “Anti-Procrastination theme.
Donna @ Funky Junk has been asking all type of link party questions, and the answers have been fascinating. Her solution to a problem similar to this was to have 2 separate linky themes on the same link page/party. I am going to try the same. That way we can keep the traffic going, but still keep the uniqueness of the procrastination theme. I think it will be easier for those who come for specific reasons to find exactly what they are looking for.
The first one will be “Anti-Procrastination” Themed:
~things you’ve wanted to do for a long time
~before & afters
The second one will be much more flexible:
~recipes
~crafts
~projects
Please give me your thoughts on this. I will be featuring posts from both camps, but I will be honest and tell you I will tend to lean toward featuring more of the procrastination themed posts, just because that is where the vision was from the start, which is my heart:) Does this all make sense? I will try it out this week and see how it goes. Again, your thoughts matter!
