Like the new WFMW button? You can get one here.
I live by my calendar. If it’s not written down, it doesn’t happen. (And that’s not because we are super busy, it’s because I’m super forgetful!)
I started a habit when I first started blogging, I keep an ongoing list of blog post ideas in a word document. Whenever I have a thought for a future post, I jot it down. These little notes don’t always become posts, but sometimes they do.
I also keep a calendar of future posts. Since I regularly schedule giveaways, I like to plan for them. Since I write most of my posts ahead of time, I plug them into dates on my calendar about two weeks out. If a timely posts happens, I just move it in ahead of what I’ve already written. I put the numbers 1-5 (for Mon-Fri) and I fill in the blanks. I know I’ll have WFMW on Wed and usually a giveaway on Tuesday.
Whenever I actually write the post, I change to color of the type, so I know it’s ready in my queue. I erase each post after it’s been published and usually have three weeks or so planned out.
This works for me and keeps me off the computer when I need to be with my family!
**Updated to Add** Next Wed., June 2 will be a themed edition: “Mom, I’m Bored” Share your best tip for keeping your child busy in the summer!
