I've been looking around online and have found some fabulous resources to get started.
I found this great website - Ahhh-Design where there are all sorts of free downloads for year-long planners, index cards, and weekly snapshot planners. She also posts about her own planners - so much inspiration. Now if only I could make a binder look as fabulous as this :)

I found this sheet over at 74 Lime Lane on planning out blog posts each week. It has spaces for the title, links/resources, how you're going to promote it and a to-do list for each day of the week. Brilliant!

I went to Target last night and purchased a Liberty of London (!!!) 3-ring binder to put all my new DIY planner materials in - Yay! :) I will be putting it together this weekend and will give a peek once I have it all together (and organized ;)) and start using it.+ What about you? How do you stay organized? Any tips or ideas?
+ If you blog, do you plan your blog posts way in advance? How do you keep track?
+ Please share! :)
Have a fabulous weekend! :)
I wish I were nearly as organized. Somehow I never really manage with a paper-based calender. At the moment I just post blog-posts whenever I have the time. It takes me hours to touch up the photos and write the post, so it's sort of slow going and I just get on it whenever I have a moment. I've got a backlog of projects I want to post about, so I just grab the next project from my pile when I've got a moment.
ReplyDeleteThese planners looks really great and I've heard others are rather good at planning their whole blog year ahead. Hope it works for you :)

ah wow! I feel so guilty. I really need to organise my craft stash. Badly. Its all over the place!! I was thinking of making an envelope book to store and organise my magazine cut outs and another for fabric scraps. I might go and purchase some more boxes for scraps!!
ReplyDeleteI really love the folder at the top!!
I try to be organized but it's hard. I started with post-its but obviously it didn't work. I have a very bad memory and being very busy doesn't help at all so I have a diary where I write everything I have to do, this saves my life. Then I have another diary for the school and there I write what I do everyday with the students and what we have to do the next day. I suppose it would be a good idea to "merge" both. I like the DIY planner you've got, maybe I can adapt for me.
ReplyDeleteI never plan my blog posts ahead, maybe I should do that as well...
Thanks for the links, they're cool!
Ahhh... you are speaking my language. My two loves, organization and crafting. I use a three ring binder system to organize my craft life (a bit, mostly I am just scattered). In the binder is a calendar I print from iCal because it has birthday/anniversary info already plugged in for me. Behind the calendar I have divided into different categories for things like random craft ideas, doll ideas, supply lists, blog post ideas, etc. In the front pocket I throw some blank paper and my current moleskine notebook for doodling. My binder is handy, but not very beautiful. Your organizational finds are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI bought that same planner off Etsy earlier this year! I had an Etsy friend, nightowlcraftworks, bind it for me into a beautiful hard cover planner.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post and thank you for sharing. I could definitely be more organized! Happy organizing...
