Getting Organized in 2015 — The Perfect Planner for Work and Tips to Organize Your Blog
Dot Mine Day Planners are a great high quality planner. I struggled with finding the right planner for years and tried to organize everything for the blog, my work, and my family in the same place. Well that did not work. What I have concluded is that I need a great planner separate from my family one for work. The Leather Dot Mine Day Planner ($32.99) is my choice of work planner for 2015 and I have to admit that I love the one that I received. I love that I can organize all of the companies that I need to contact, when I need to post my blogs, and when I receive products for review. This is going to be one tool that I do not want to be without in 2015.
As part of me sharing with you my personal getting organized in 2015 series, I am going to give you some tips to organize your blog.
Tips to Organize Your Blog
Tip 1 — Be Adamant About Organization
When it comes to my life I am terrible with organization. In the past year this has ended up with me messing up a few times and owning up with some big apologies. Thankfully everyone that I have worked with has been nothing but wonderful but I know for 2015 that my goal is to no longer have this type of problem. So I wanted to be able to offer something completely different for the clients that I work with. I also want to do some series, work on some challenges, and the biggest one for me is getting organized.
Tip 2 — Keep Track of Important Dates
A planner is a must for any blogger. It is important that you be able to keep track of all of your important dates and keep things organized. One of the things that I have found that is working well for me is keeping my Dot Mine Planner full of all of the important dates that I need to know for the blog. This includes following up and ideas for future posts based on seasons/holidays and more.
Tip 3 — Find a System that Works for You
I have tried spreadsheets, email folders, and more but there has not been a system that I have used that has really worked well for me. The system that I like the best is a good old fashioned pen and paper and a planner is a great way for me to have that system. So I am using the Dot Mine Planner because it is what matches my needs the best.
When it comes to getting organized this is something that is very hard for me. It is something that I have to try and put a lot of effort into. I have been living in a cluttered, messy world for far too long and in 2015 one of my biggest goals is to be organized for the blog and for my house. Stay tuned as I am going to be posting about my journey to organization throughout the year.
