Thank you!
I am gonna be honest. Sometimes I am NOT always the most organized in certain areas of my life.
Yep, it's a confession that may have some of your jaws glued to the floor... but it's OK. I am OK with that. It's all about being happy, human and picking your battles.
One area I wasn't really that organized in, ironically, was my blog. There were some nights I would stare at my computer screen as I was getting ready to post and not have a clue what I was going to write about. I would "wing it" and hope that a reader might be happy with it and come back the next day. Yep, that's how I rolled.
Then recently I decided that I had to get control of my organizing baby. So I started writing down my "ideas" on a blog list, which I also shared with you here. That helped, at least then I had a list of ideas to pick from when I was staring at a blank screen.
The blog has actually gotten to be a pretty busy place and I am grateful to be organizing giveaways and ideas and have some guest posts coming up as well! I needed more than one list so I started using the calendar pages in my daily planner to try and keep track of things. Until now. This Household Binder is giving new life and order to my blogging life!
Let's start with the "Blogging Ideas" list. I am still using this as a way to jot down future ideas for topics or titles or things I don't want to forget!
I tossed a couple in here to jot down all my hair brained ideas {you get to see a blank version of everything so I don't spill any blog beans - so sly of me!}
And one for you...

On the opposite side of the divider pocket, I slipped some additional checklist sheets. However, these are to be used differently. The first set is for "Ideas", this set is actually for my "To Do's" such as keeping Etsy orders, Style Tile orders, Giveaways and other blog related projects all down on paper, so nothing slips my hair brained brain.
And for you....

And now how I plan to ensure that I am not staring at a screen with googly eyes wondering what's next? I created a full year calendar to keep in the "Blog" section of the binder:
Now I can write in specific post information for each day of the week, and "Pre-Plan" things out a bit! LOVE THAT! Love that it's all in one place! Love that I finally got another little area of my life organized! Love that things are going to get easier for me now that I got my act together!
And for you....

The PDF is actually a full year calendar. All 12 months of it! And all 365 days. And since I typed every last bit of it in myself late one night while my family was fast asleep and my eyes were droopy, let's hope it's all correct!
The calendar could absolutely work as a great addition to any section in your Household Binder, such as for your children's schedules, or for important dates, or for meal planning or for your family calendar. It's really versatile for however you would like to use it, there is nothing specific about it that says it has to be used for "Blogging".
So there you have it. Hopefully you haven't noticed the chaos that can be this blog, and if you have, hopefully now that I have my binder working for me, you will notice improvement!
Your turn! How are you keeping all of your blogging ideas in check? What do you plan on using the calendar download for? How obvious is it that I am the most unorganized organized person? haha!
I decided a little challenge would be fun! This month we are creating a Home Management Binder! Wanna Join in? Take photos and blog about your awesomeness as you go! I am hoping to do a giant, "We did it!" celebratory post where we can all link up our binder creating success stories at the end of the month!
