I couldn't live without mine. But will be adding a new folder now.

I've just recently started using google calendar too to organise my blog posts and since I co-own our company with my sister, it's especially helpful that we can share the calendar together so there's no chance of double posting! I didn't realise you could drag schedules around though. Something I am now quite excited about :) Thanks!Candicehttp://www.paperlaceconfetti.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-40439836296962028312012-01-12T15:25:52.399-06:002012-01-12T15:25:52.399-06:00This is such a great and helpful post!

I've also been trying Elsie's categorizing method, and I will definitely try out your google calendars ideas! 2012 will be my most organized year yet, haha, thanks!michael annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992011734040889183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-25177212661855521372012-01-12T08:04:36.644-06:002012-01-12T08:04:36.644-06:00Oh dear.

I have been writing them out on paper and sometimes misplace the sheet of paper. The first month I did some advance planning (and scheduled posts ahead of time) was in December. I felt I spent less time on the computer overall and was better organized. I have been slacking on the planning and really need to get back to it.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512285222993565838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-61851024791241217712012-01-11T10:05:59.060-06:002012-01-11T10:05:59.060-06:00Gretchen: I don't have a set theme.

Instead I try and fit things in as they feel right in the overall plan. <br /><br />For example, I'll look and see that I haven't done a pattern for a while, so I put that in, or maybe the posts have been super full, so I add in a post that is quick and Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-86020339297868461282012-01-11T08:50:25.443-06:002012-01-11T08:50:25.443-06:00I do the same thing and my calendar fills up fast ...I do the same thing and my calendar fills up fast too (except for this month for some reason).<br />I run 2 week long series on my blog and am getting ready to start a 3rd soon.

I do have a notebook with ideas in case I get get stuck though. <br /><br />I'm wondering, do you have a set theme for every day of the week? I've been playing with this idea and think it would work pretty well for me. Thoughts?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174855352177969984noreply@blogger.com
