Washi Tape Blog Planner

My blog is just about 4 months old now. It took me a little while to get into a good blogging rhythm and one major help was this:

I got the idea from Jessica over at Lovely Little Things. This blog planner has been a life saver! Or maybe just a blog saver. Each week has its own spread dedicated to it. I use this to compile my inspiration for each week, as well as to track my social media stats. I track blog views, bloglovin' followers, facebook likes, twitter followers, Pinterest followers, and Google+ followers. It has been extremely helpful (and enlightening) to see these numbers climb each week and helps me focus my goals for the following week.

I also try to choose a fellow blogger to encourage. This has been fun and has led me to discover new blogs and other new bloggers. I make an effort to read their blog at least once during the week and leave a well-thought-out comment. I also try to pin something from their blog.

The rest of my weekly spread is dedicated to scheduling blog posts and checking things off my to-do list. I don't always adhere to the schedule, but it helps me have direction and variety in my posts.

Of course, a notebook needs a cute cover. My notebook is one that I found on clearance at Target. I paid less than $2 for it, but it was a little too flowery for me. So I covered it with washi tape. It was a quick and easy project that gets a lot of use.

How do you keep track of your blogging schedule?
