Blogging Schedule

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.

    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!

    Smart idea! I should do that too! I have blog carnival themes running around in my head, but it would be a lot easier if I put them all on my calendar. Thanks for the idea.

  22. Kara says:

    This is a GREAT idea! My poor blog has bee suffering from neglect for the last couple of weeks as things pick up around here…I’ve been thinking I need to sit down and get organized.

    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.

  25. 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.

  26. I definitely need to do this! It would make my life a heck of a lot easier!
