Now I don't have any kiddos, so I haven't used a regular planner much at all. But what I want to share with you today is my blog planner. Yep, a planner for all that goes on behind the scenes at this blog. 

I have a page with a calendar where I can see at a glance what posts I have planned for the month. Saturdays and Sundays I do not post at all so those are filled with a pattern. Then I have different color codes that I can use to see at a glance what I still need to work on. The light green and light turquoise are the regular calendar background. 

The gray is for a post that is finished and scheduled. Yellow for in process projects, Pink if my project is finished but I haven't written the post or taken pictures. Dark turquoise for posts that are already written but still need photos. Finally there is dark green for posts that the photos are ready, but the post needs written. 

Who needs this many different color codes? Someone who works full time and hops around from one project to the next. You can see I've been kinda slacking on the blog lately... A full time job and 7 credit hours of college courses are really cramping in on my crafting/blogging time lately. 

There are many more useful tabs in this spreadsheet that include a page for cataloging roundup posts, a weekly to do list, master to do list, post ideas page, expenses and income pages, blog stats, blog maintenance, and contacts. So much blogging info all in one spreadsheet. 

Use the code; CRAFTSTORAGEIDEAS to get this blog planning spreadsheet for JUST $0.50 in my Etsy shop until 3/31/15! I tried to have it listed for free until the end of the month, but Etsy just won't allow it. So with the coupon code you can get this blog organizing tool just for 50 cents.

Now I also picked up a simple planner from Walmart to try out the amazing stamps I was able to get from V's Sweet Ideas for a discount to review for this post. I chose her Organize It! and Organize It Too! stamp sets and they are so absolutely and completely adorable! They make organizing all your to-dos in a planner fun with all the check marks and fun images. 

That "DONE" stamp is so fun to use when you have completed one thing on the list and so are the check marks! So cute! With just a few bright ink pads you can add some fun colors into your otherwise dull and boring planner. 

These fun stamp sets will really help me use this new planner to make sure I get everything done on time for once! Rather than dreading the to list within I get to play with some stamps and add some fun into an otherwise boring task.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Next on the Hop is Hazel’s blog.
