I So Need These

(You can find this neat little blog planner at Confessions of a Homeschooler)

Major props goes to Theresa of Frugal Experiments for pinning these last night.

A blog planner is exactly what I need to help get and keep me organized. Unfortunately, my printer went kaput over a year ago, so, I can't print a dang thing. I know, bummer right?

A new printer is on my future investments list, but that won't be happening any time soon.

I'm asking around to see if any friends have printers, I'm hoping either they could print them out for me or I could stop by and print them myself. If that doesn't work, maybe I could try Staples. I'm not sure how much it would cost, but if it is reasonable it might be an option.

You can print this blog post planner and put them into a spiral notebook. Each month has it's own color scheme, the front page is a month layout. It has dates listed along the left side of the sheet, there is room for you to write the topic, the title of your blog post and the posts tags or labels. Then going down the right side of the page there are little blue and yellow boxes. The blue boxes are for you to check off if the post is a review/giveaway, and for when you have picked and emailed the winner. This would have been great to have a few months ago.


The yellow ones are the social media boxes one for Facebook, one for Twitter, one for Pinterest and one for Google +. After you have shared your posts to all of these outlets you check them off.


You can go here to download the planner and to read more about the planner and its other pages.

Or maybe I'll just buy a blog planner like this one by Between U & Me...

This is so cute and I think I would prefer this one over the previous. They would both be wonderful, but this one seems to be more detailed and has more room for you to write all of your thoughts, what your inspiration is, where all you promoted as well as follow ups, etc etc.







And I love the giveaway tracker and that has a contacts list. You can go to Between You & Me to get a closer look and more information.


Unfortunately,  this planner has sold -go figure!- and the Etsy store owner is currently on vacation. 


Either one would certainly come in handy*


Do you you have a planner for your blog? What do you do or use to stay organized? Which of the 2 planners do you like better?
