So right now, I'm trying to blog everyday and I've been pretty successful... but I like sort of having an organization method so that I can keep up with it, and it kind of works.
What I use mostly is the Penultimate app on my ipad. Basically this is a notebook on the ipad that you can write on with your hands. It isn't for everyone, I used to use it for Math Notes and for other note taking sometimes. A lot of times I like to hand-write things down for classes, especially if there are charts and pictures and stuff... but it isn't really for everyone.
It is kind of ideal for blogging though because I can easily write down any ideas I have, change things if I have to move around posts or something like that and check things off after I write them and post them and stuff like that.
I have a few different notebooks in this app for my blog. One is where I keep all of my ideas for blogs and any notes that I might need for future blogs. For example on my beauty blog I have been posting collections of different make up I have from different brands. I just list stuff down here and then I'll expand more on it when I write about it in the blog. Its just kind of helpful.
I also write down all of my upcoming blog posts, and check them off as I do the things. If I write something but I haven't posted it yet, I'll put a little check mark next to it. And once I post it, I'll either cross it off or erase it.
I also keep track of how many chapters in books I have left to read and how many chapters I should read a day if I want to finish on a certain date... don't know what it is about this, but I always like doing it anyway... and its helpful if I want to write a blog about something. So that is fortunate I suppose. Lol. And it doesn't always mean I follow it, I miss some days and don't read anything and some days I read more. So it is a little helpful... but it gets skewed I suppose. It helps me know what I have I guess. Lol.
For the upcoming blogs, I keep both this blog and my beauty blog in the same notebook because its just easy to have them in the same place.
Something I've started doing recently that I think has been pretty helpful is going back on my blogs every few weeks and keeping a list of everything I've posted in another notebook. This is useful now that I link to my blog posts more often, and so that I know who I've already done Man Crush Monday's and Woman Crush Wednesday's on. It also helps me take a moment to look back at old posts and see what posts I like and what posts I didn't like, and what I should be doing more of and stuff like that. I also keep all of my It lists, that way I know what I've said. So I won't repeat anything, and so I know for my end of the year It List. I figured it would be useful.
I have a seperate notebook for all of my Scribbles About Beauty posts, and I do have weekly and monthly favorites... but I sort of know throughout the year what I've liked the best on that front... so that works.
I also have a separate notebook for Scribbles about News and Scribbles about TV, but I haven't actually been using that this week. I may continue because I like having quotes for the week in Scribbles about news and quotes from the best tv shows of the week... so that may be something I start using again and I'm glad I have it.
And I guess that is about it. This might have been the most boring and basic thing I've ever posted... but I figure why not give the behind the scenes details of daily blogging? Lol.
Byeee!
