#3 made me crack up. Oh, MAN. I could go to town on that one!! These are great ideas! I’m pinning this post right now so I remember to refer back to it the next time I’m stuck for ideas!! Great way to kick off the week!! –Lisa
The Dose of Reality recently posted…“Arie” Ready To Choose The Next Bachelor Now, Fleiss?!
Thanks for pinning it Lisa!
I just pinned this. Great list! Going to check out your survey.
Kenya G. Johnson recently posted…I’ve committed a crime…
Thanks Kenya! The survey gave me amazing insight! I highly recommend it to my fellow blog boos!
I would use everything on this list. I pinned it also so I can refer back to it. One that I would add is just what you did here…a “list” post. 30 things…, My top 10… etc. Great post.
Hope recently posted…Live Full…Die Empty
Good add Hope! I love a good list! I can usually use at least a couple of the tips even if I don’t agree with all & that’s always a win for me.
This is now the second post on your site I am bookmarking in the last 20 minutes. I have set myself up on a bit of a roll with blogging, ideas are coming in thick and fast. But in the last week I have had to inspire myself a lot more to think of new topics to write about, this is just perfect.
Legitimately, I could cover everything on this list!
Kate recently posted…Budget travel series part 2 – Cheap transport
Super Kate! I’m glad it was timely for you!
Hmm a tour of my blog is a good one I think I will incorporate that one for my new online magazine so people can get familiar with the content. Thanks for sharing will pin this for future references.
Kita recently posted…Communication sucks with the hubs
Perfect for Kokoa Magazine Kita! Thanks for pinning!
Fantastic prompts, I was honestly surprised by how many I have already done!! I do see a few that I want to do though!! Will be pinning once I get back to my desk 🙂
Nellie recently posted…The Color Run Brooklyn – The Most Awesome Race Of All
Lol, I was equally shocked while I was going through back linking…I was like hey, I’ve already covered a few of these 🙂 Thanks for pinning!
This is a great list, I might have to turn it into a personal one month challenge! Pinning!
Angela Gilmore recently posted…Me and My Fitness Pal become Pals
Whoa now, lol! You can turn it into a 7 day challenge with me for the next MBC 🙂
That sounds great! I’m in!
Angela Gilmore recently posted…Me and My Fitness Pal become Pals
I’ve done several of these when I’ve been in a funk, especially the Instagram one. That one is my favorite funk killer and has gotten plenty of comments! LOL! The 30 Things list I did a few months ago had a lot of those prompts on your list.
Britton recently posted…Motivational Monday: Fitness Survey
Yep, I’m sure you were the only IG round up I’ve seen and Carli is really good about sounding off tweets, FB, & Pins in her Real Into reads.
I really love those type of posts!
Love this list, Joi!
Yes, I would (and will) totally do some of these ideas!
Thanks for sharing!!! I pinned it so I can check it on those days when I’m at a loss!
Kim recently posted…Is it about the Journey or the end Destination?
You always seem to tie something in with your workout effortlessly. I’m thrilled you find it useful.
What a great list! Pinning it for when I have dry spells. Although, I find it’s finding the time to write that can often be my bigger challenge!
leah Davidson recently posted…Happy 12th Birthday Zach!!
Oh yeah, that is a challenge for sure and worth a blog posts 🙂
I think you covered so much. I adore 23 and 26. As you already know about me, I used to be a Pizza Delivery Girl and I have so many confessions from then! I also was an Innkeeper at an urban Bed & Breakfast in San Francisco. The main point I took away from that is that people are slobs!
Tamara recently posted…Peek-a-boo.
There are a lot of names I can call sick people that visit the pharmacy! Instead, I’ll share some names they call me…stay tuned Monday! I think you’ll like the post I have scheduled and I want to hear the Pizza delivery confessions….like soon 🙂
Fabulous post ideas! I especially like 4, 9, and 19. I could write something about all of them. I am constantly seeking ideas to write about, so this is perfect. Had a guest post on my blog last week for the first time. Working on a second one. Thanks for sharing, Joi!
Kimberly H. Smith recently posted…Pick A Peck Of Pinterest Picks
I always enjoy reading what lessons people take away from certain life events. I would love to read a lessons post from you Kim. I bet we would be on the same page 🙂
Very useful suggestions. I have only done some of these. So stay tuned for future columns, lol!
Dr. J recently posted…Lab Notes: Prenatal Smokers’ Kids Risk Hearing Loss; Dead Woman Wakes As Docs Prep to Take Organs

Great list! Thanks for the brainstorming. I’ve done #15 and #25. Sometimes when I get stuck with blog topics and content ideas, relaxing, and stepping away from the computer for a moment will help me get my mojo back.
Honeybee recently posted…30 Days 30 Letters: An Open Letter To My Diet Buddy #4 – How Kate Dropped from 77 to 59 Kilos!

Rabia @TheLiebers recently posted…Follow and Connect
There ya go Rabia! That’s what I would do too!
Oh I so needed this right now. The blogging pet peeves one is a thought I’ve had. Also something along the lines of why so much of the blogging advice I’ve read is total BS, especially when it’s all the same on so many blogs. Does anyone come up with anything original?! Yeesh. LOL
Stopping by via SITS. Have a great weekend!

Great list! I think I’ve probably used at least ten of them in the past. The cool thing is, many of them could be used over and over, but tweaked a little, making it kind of an endless list. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Sharefest. I hope you have a great weekend.
