Welcome back for Part Two of my four-part series on content planning and strategy. In this week’s installment, we’re going to cover planning and creating your content. Because once you have a strategy and you’ve identified the objectives and tactics, you need to do the work of actually creating content to reach those goals and objectives.

As we approach the end of the first quarter of 2020 (in the midst of a global pandemic no less), I wanted to share some books I’ve read recently and over the years (as well as ones that come highly recommended) that have helped me remain inspired and goal-focused.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared one of my Amazon hauls, so I’m back with a summer travel edition that I hope will turn you on to some great products. Also, Amazon Prime Day is coming up soon, so here’s to hoping some of these products go on sale that day!

So sorry for the unexpected hiatus, but as you’ll learn in this post the last several months have been consumed with a lot of work. This is a long one, so be prepared to take a few minutes to get through it. And at the end of it all, I hope you’ll share your thoughts or questions with me. Thanks for reading!

I committed myself to reading more in 2019. In the vein of simplifying, I wanted to fill my free time with more enriching activities than just watching TV or scrolling my phone. I decided 4 books per month (one per week) would be my goal for this year. This is what I’ve been able to read or listen to in 2019 so far.
