My 2012 Blogging Planner {FREE Printable}

Confession time…I used to be a MAJOR perfectionist. Well, that spirit of perfection is LONG gone! {I think having 5 kids in less than four years could do that to you!} While I am thankful that I am not as anal as I used to be, I do kinda wish that I was a bit more on top of things. One of the areas that I battle with is blogging. In case you aren’t aware, there was a time when I deleted my blog. Once I was “released” to blog again, I knew that I didn’t want my blog to have the same “power” over me! Well, in effort to make sure that I keep blogging in its proper place, I decided that I needed to become better at planning. So, I have since come up with my very own blog planner!  

This is what my blogging planner looks like and I am loving it!

There are four different pages included for each month of planning! The first page is the Monthly Blog Calendar. I write my blog post titles on the date I plan to post the blog. Once I have written and scheduled the post, I check it off the “Scheduled” box.

The second page is the Monthly Blog Planning page. Included on this page are check boxes along with the following topics: Major Posts to Write / Giveaways & Reviews to Complete / Link-ups to Participate it / Upcoming Holidays or Event to Post About. There is also space to keep track of my Blog Related To-Do List, Monthly Blogging Goals, and Future Blog Post Ideas.

The third page is the Blog Post Notes page. This is a place for me to record notes and reminders about blog posts, which allows me to have all of my blogging notes in one place! I actually printed 4 of the pages (per month) to include in my planner.

The fourth page is the Giveaways / Reviews page. This provides a place for me to record information about various reviews and giveaways that I post on my blog. Again, it allows me to keep all of the information in one place. I printed 2 of these pages (per month) for my planner.

I also used some large construction paper to make folders in my planner. This allows me to keep various blog-related papers all in one place.

Finally, I had everything hole punched and spiral bound at Office Depot for under $4. In addition to the binding, I had them to include clear page on the front, a back cover, and a piece of cardboard just before the back cover to make the planner a little sturdier.

And, there you have it! My 2012 Blogging Planner, which I absolutely LOVE! I would like to thank Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler and Amy Bayliss from Cajun Joie de Vivre whose blog planning pages provided inspiration for my own blogging planner!
