I've been lucky enough to be blogging for a few years now, so I'd like to share some tools that I use to keep this drunken operation running. Today, it's my 2016 Blog Planner and Editorial Calendar.
This is the exact blog planner that I use for The Drunken Tomato. Since I've started using it, I can definitely see an improvement in my organization. I'm getting blog posts done (mostly) on time, and I have a better idea about what my blogging schedule will look like in the months ahead. The monthly checklist keeps me up to date on rather mundane but definitely much needed maintenance for the website. And tracking different statistics helps me measure my own successes (or failures).
I know there are a crap load of these planners out there, but I decided to create my own sleek, modern, not cutesy, not flowery and definitely not mommy-like blog planner. I don't need any pretty blue squiggly lines to tell me I need to write more.
How to Use The Blog Planner
- Download the PDF using either option below.
- Print out the pages you need. Since it's already June, you don't need to print the entire PDF. Also, the entire PDF is done in black and white, so don't print in costly color ink!
- Bind it. I three hole punched mine and put it in an old binder. You can also take it to a place like Staples to get it bound with a spiral or tape.
- Get blogging!
