Curious to know -- Did you participate in Map My World Week on March 13 - 19, 2017 by yourself because you didn't have time to meet-up with your Local Guides Community or you don't live near a Local Guides Community?
I did my Week alone because my schedule is hectic, but I still wanted to actively contribute to Google Maps. Having Map My World Week got me to think how I could map out and post what I would be doing during that week.
I ended up mapping some of the things that I do as part of my daily life living here in the San Francisco Bay Area - go to a bakery cafe, grocery store, post office, meet up with friends for lunch, get coffee at Starbucks, try out a new milk tea and bubble tea place, etc.
1) Met friends at our local Paris Baguette (Bakery Cafe)
2) Had lunch at Banseok Jeong Korean BBQ Restaurant
3) Tried a new milk and bubble tea place with a friend called T4 Livermore
4) Went to a local US Post Office
5) Went grocery shopping at Whole Foods Markets
6) Met a friend and tried out a new upscale cafeteria called Urban Plates
7) Went to Starbucks and ordered a grande Mocha Frappuccino
What surprised me is that I didn't have a majority of these places that I do go to NOT ALREADY on Google Maps!
Lesson Learned: Always double check your Google Maps for your reviews!

Make It Part of Your Day: Post to Google Maps Only Once A Day
What I liked about contributing to Map My World Week every day during the 13th - 19th was it reminded me how easy it was to just review 1 place or business each day. It also got me back in the habit of using my iPhone to quickly take photos.
Now I Can't Stop! How About You?
Since Map My World Week ended on the 19th, I'm still continually posting once a day to Google Maps because I am now hooked again (see below image).
I've made it my goal to post at least one review a day on Maps until the end of this year. How about you?
2) Went to my 1st charity local library fundraiser, Friends of the Dublin Library Used Books and Media Sale, bought two bags full of books and 9 CDs for my family
3) Took my kiddos to my local Barnes & Noble bookstore for Storytime
4) Went to Hap Magee Ranch Park, my favorite dog park, with my dog to get fresh air and exercise for the both of us
5) Shopped at my local Old Navy - Owned by The Gap: clothing, shoes, and accessories for the whole family
6) Browsed at In Between Stitches, a local independent sewing and quilt-making store
7) Went to a lunch seminar at Roadhouse Market & Conference Center and saw "Shangrila" in the middle of the complex
😎 Had a BIA Mocha and gluten-free chocolate brownie at Panama Bay Coffee Co.
9) Watched kids run through the water fountain at Lizzie Fountain Park
