I like to be organized...I need to be organized...I'm just not great at finding products that help me accomplish those goals. I usually take a random piece of scrap paper, jot something down and wonder where I put it later! When it comes to my blog, I never even thought of using a planner to help me plan, gather my thoughts, keep track of stats, etc....well, DUH!!
I've always been a random blogger. I blog what's going on orwhatever strikes me at the moment. I wasn't really sure how I would like being more intentional about my blog posts. When you've always done something one way, it's hard to change.
When looking for a blog planner, I knew I wanted something simple to use and something to fit my needs now. That's when I saw Infarrantly Creative's calendar! It was perfect for me!
There are 4 different downloads to print:
Monthly with a design
Weekly with a design
Monthly without a design
Weekly without a design.
I choose to print the planners with this cute background design:
Infarrantly Creative gives you a great tutorial on how to use your new calendar planner, as well as suggestions on how to bind them into a book. I actually just printed out a couple of months and the corresponding weeks and used a binder I had on hand.
Here's what I really liked:
- Seeing the whole month at a glance--I can plug in special days and other posts I know ahead of time. Then, see holes and plan out those days later.
- The To Do list was great to help me break down posts and behind the scenes work on my blog.
- The space to list ideas for post ideas was just what I needed--a place to jot things down that I wouldn't lose.
- There is space to write extra ideas and even a box to plan encouragement to other bloggers (never thought about being intentional about that,either)
I'm not really big on tracking my stats, but I really appreciated how Infarrantly Creative approaches this topic. She says, "Each week when I write down my stats it helps me measure myself against myself — which I highly recommend." I like that!
So, if you are looking for a simple, yet great blog calendar planner. Check out this free printable blog calendar at the Infarrantly Creative blog. It was totally free to download and you can't beat that price!
