My Organized Biz

I write several blogs about various topics.  Some have daily deadlines, others every other day.  Then some have a specific number of posts per month and others weekly posts.

How will I keep them all organized and know what I have posted and what I haven’t?  How can I keep from repeating topics?  These thoughts ran through my mind as I considered how to do this.

I don’t know what works for others, but I devised a notebook type of organization.  I have small (4 x 6-inch) spiral notebooks, one for each blog.  Then I jot down the date and the title as I publish it. 

 I also attach a sticky note to the page with topic ideas for upcoming posts.  As I use those topics, I move them up to the posted list with the date of publication or planned publication, because I often pre-post.

Why don’t you set up a computer program to keep track? I’m asked.  Because the computer could go down;  my data could get lost; it’s not right in front of me.  I’d have to go into the computer to find it.  The same goes for other electronic record keeping gadgets.  Data gets lost or they can go down.

Yes, my notebooks also can get lost, but not so readily if I keep them beside my computer.

Do you have a system for keeping your writing organized?
