So I've been wanting to get some items done and now have found some challenges to keep my blogging behind in gear! However doing challenges, read-a-thons and the like make me sooooo anxious!!! Does this happen to anyone else? I feel an immense amount of pressure and either do excellent at the task while ignoring all other aspects of my life or fail miserably. :/
I really want to have a positive experience so this time I thought about some things I want to accomplish and then found the challenge to fit my goals. This way I'm not trying to rearrange my goals to fit the challenges. :)
Check out the ones I've signed up for below along with a listing of other challenges I know about but cannot to commit to.
