Blogging Schedule

[ 30 ] November 10, 2009 | CupcakeLady

Recently I have found myself quite overwhelmed with all I need to do. And with the holidays quickly approaching, it will only get worse.

One of the things I was feeling overwhelmed with was keeping up with all the different topics I needed to blog about.

There are lots of fun carnivals and festivals going on now and in the near future that I didn’t want to miss out on. And several of the carnivals that I regularly link up to have themes scheduled for the upcoming months and I didn’t want to miss any of those either.

So, I decided to create a Blogging Schedule.

Blogging Schedule.fixed.1

I printed off a calendar, and wrote everything in. Then went back to the computer and typed it all in, I color coded each of the carnivals (memes), it’s a little easier that way, plus it looks pretty :) Now, of course you could do this on your online calendar, but I’m a paper and pen kinda gal.

After I printed off the schedule, then I was able to plan what I was going to bake, cook and blog about. I also have room on the side to write down ideas as I see them, recipes or tips I would like to blog about.

  6. I love this idea – I do something similar. It helps me stay organized and avoids last minute trips to the shopping store. It also avoids stress because my posts are ready to go when I need them.

    Good Plan! I started scheduling my blogs early summer 2009. It saved me a lot of hassle. Other than memes, I found that I have to do a lot of brainstorming and leave some topics in a list form. I’m often inspired and motivated by reading other blogs and come up with a spur of the moment post – but having that list of topics keeps me on track if I’m having a “blogger block” moment. I love your pretty calendar – pretty and functional totally rock!

    That’s a fantastic idea! I think I need to do that too! There are so many carnivals starting up and I keep missing ‘em, telling myself “Oh, don’t forget to come back to that one” and then forgetting! LOL Thanks for that idea!

    Have you tried Google calendar? Several people recommended lately and I LOVE it! Seriously give it a try. My husband can view it. I can view his on my account and it sends me email reminders. I almost forgot to pick up my kids school fundraiser this week except for the Google calendar reminder that popped up.

  28. I’ve got to get more organized with blogging stuff. I end up just starting a ton of post drafts and keeping them in my “drafts” section until I complete them.
