Organizing, Planning, and Giveaways


I need to get better at planning and organizing my blog and life in general? At work, I'm awesome at organizing and planning (you should see my work calendar - pictured in the image above) but when it comes to my blog and life, I fail at that. I've been seriously thinking about getting an Erin Condren planner but it is kind of expensive (at least for me). I found an alernative that I think may work but I'm still set on at the Erin Condren one. I have it all set up and sitting in my cart... I just need to get the funds.

I also want to run some giveaways on Polka Dot Heart and I think a planner would benefit me on that too. Speaking of giveaways, what would you like to see? I'm thinking of doing a group giveaway where everyone gives like $5-$10 and then combine the money to give out in a giveaway. Obviously I need to work out the details, but if it sounds like something you may be interested in, DM me on Twitter or email me at tinaxo@REMOVETHISgmail.com.

Anyway, what do you all use to plan/organize your blog and life? I'm open to any and all suggestions! I find it better for me if I have something on paper and not just my phone. I still prefer books to eReaders, but that's just me.

By the way, if you haven't seen the Erin Condren planners, check it out:

  4. I don't have a printer and that's to bad cause I also would like to have a blogplanner. Do you know about any good digital blogplanner that I could use instead?:)

  5. I know... it is a great investment. However, depending on the add-ons you get the price isn't $50, like I got the 18 month one for a few dollars extra. Then, you can add markers, a pen holder, more stickers etc. The only add on I got was the 18 month. It is so worth it though, if you're a planner like me!! Hey, maybe you'll win the giveaway at This N That with Olivia for a $50 Gift card ;)

  8. I am an avid journaler so I keep all my notes and appointments in my journal but it is very inconvenient- although it is nice to look back later and see some things I was doing, I generally don't look at past pages in a journal until well after it is completed and stuck in a drawer so I still end up having to just remember appointments. Ugh, it's very sloppy and I am very unorganized but I saw this planner and absolutely fell in love with it. I don't think I could ever afford one either that is simply too much to pay for a planner but damn.. it is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing!

  11. I keep hearing about those planners and I hadn't looked till now. Oh em gee. I need to go home and build one and cringe over the price. Maybe it will motivate me?

    I use Google Docs for my blog -I can email you the template. I love it. I've used it for various social media jobs too. I always write it down in my regular planner as well though
