I find that using 3 small notebooks helps me to organize not only my work and
school-related schedules, but also my creative ideas and my blogging "stuff".
Here is what I use:
1. AGENDA
I do not have a fixed weekly schedule, instead I hold several part-time jobs and my teaching schedule varies throughout the semester. So I find having an agenda/weekly planner to be extremely useful. This year I decided to make one myself (tutorial coming up) and this cute red and pink notebook holds all important dates, deadlines and appointments. I find it useful to use pencil rather than pen in my agenda - this way I can "move" things around easier, keeping pages (more or less) "organized".
2. IDEAS NOTEBOOK
Do you remember recycled notebook I've made in October? Well I am
using a similar one as my Ideas Notebook. The size makes it perfect for caring
around and I use it to write my "to do" lists, phone numbers, ideas that pop in
my head throughout the day, shopping lists ...Once I go through all the pages in this notebook, I will make a similar one to use next month. Oh, and I will definitely share a tutorial for the new type of binding I use.
3. BLOG PLANNER
I bought this agenda on a whim, while gift shopping in December. At that time I had no clue it would become an essential part of my idea organizing package. Now, I use it to plan everything blog-related. I schedule posts in the monthly preview and use the rest of the month pages to jot down topics and to sketch post content. I also have blog outline and plan upcoming series on the "notes" pages of this agenda
How do you keep organized? Where do you store all your favorite ideas?
