Hey friends hey! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday and that your week has been better than you expected! The weather is finally breaking here in NC and I am so excited to start doing work outdoors again. In this post a few weeks ago, I talked about all my Monday routine and how I like to change my workspace to keep my motivation up. Today, I’m sharing my tips and how I work on my blog when I make the local park my office for the day.

As many of you know, there are several components to running a blog and about two pounds more if you want to be successful. For me, I love to grind out work in my home office, with my pup under my feet and access to unlimited coffee but getting out in the fresh air is so nice, especially when you work primarily from home. Lately, more and more of y’all have been asking about alternative places to work when you WFH instead of the normal coffee shops and co-working spaces, since most of you don’t have a surplus of either in your area. That being said, I am so excited to share my strategy for making our local park my home office for the day and my must-haves for doing so. The first thing I do is grab my laptop, planner, colored pens, to-do list, picnic blanket and bottled water. Then, I head to my local Circle K and grab a few sweet treats starting with the NEW Sweetos™ Froster Cinnamon Sugar Flavor & Cheetos® Sweetos™ Combo. For a limited time only you can have a Sweetos combo for only $2.50 when you buy Sweetos™ Froster & Cheetos® Sweetos™. Sweetos™ Froster is an exclusive and limited time offer only found at Circle K. These treats are 1. Super affordable and 2. The perfect thing to satisfy my sweet tooth before I get to working for a few hours. Since I live next to two Circle K locations and there’s another Circle K right by our local park, picking up these snacks are so convenient and easy for me to do on my way!

Though I usually write out my to-do list the night before when I’m working from my home office, I save that task until I get to the park so I can enjoy more time out in the fresh air. I spend 30-45 minutes finalizing my to-do list, going over my schedule/Google calendar for the week and writing in my planner. I’m definitely the type of person who has to write things do, add it to my planner and have it in my phone calendar to ensure it gets done. After that, I’m on to planning content and editing pictures. For the most part, I try to plan content 2-3 weeks out and have atleast pictures edited, URLs created, category tags and the title/description for each post saved within 3 days of shooting. Lately, I have been trying to knock out two blog post at a time so if I have access to our towns free wi-fi, I get in writing mode on my blog and if I don’t have wi-fi, I use MS office Word to create my post then transfer over later.

Once I knock out 2 posts, I take a snack break. Out of the new Cheetos® Sweetos™, the Cinnamon Sugar Puffs are my favorite! I’m a total cinnamon sugar lover (I use it in my oatmeal, homemade muffins and tea) so between the Sweetos™ and the Sweetos™ Froster (aka Flavored Frozen Fun), I’m in total cinnamon sugar lover heaven. After a quick break, I go back to my computer and work on emails, contracts and invoicing. Since i’m outside with no access to electricity, I always make sure my laptop is 100% charged so I can get at least 3-4 hours of work done. I spend about 2 hours handling these tasks, going back over my to-do list to check for completion and adding new items. By this time, my laptop battery is probably low so I make sure my phone is charged and all my pictures have been transferred to my phone so I can schedule IG, Twitter and Facebook posts for the next day. I grab my Cheetos® Sweetos™ snacks and my workbag to head down to the lake for a 15 minute walk/pictures/relaxer from work. Since Circle K makes it easy to get everything you need in a one spot, I pick up a Sweetos™ Froster on my way home and spend the rest of the evening cleaning, making dinner and hanging out with my pup.

Where are you favorite places to escape for work? Let me know in the comments below 🙂 Thanks for reading y’all -xo, Azanique
