Organizing Your Writing into Binders, Guest Post by Christina Hale

When I asked for readers to share their organizational ideasChristina Hale wrote this comment, which I decided to use as a guest post:

I am often made fun of for my obsession with office supplies because I am always cleaning and reorganzing things. I have issues with my work space currently because we have such a small area to work in, and I have way too many projects going on at once.

Have you ever tried something like a writing binder? You can organize it in many different ways depending on the type of writing that you do. I have one that is for my three blogs. Each blog is it’s own tab.  It was kind of messy until I read a post on Problogger.net about a blog binder. I now have it oragnized like she suggested.  In each blog section you have a couple of different blank sheets of paper. On the top you have a short description of what that page will be used for. These are the ones that I have: Article Ideas, Must do list (the things that need immediate protection), Running To-Do List, Blogs to visit (to learn about your niche).

I have another binder that is just for my freelance writing. I have a different section for each company and have the same general idea of pages. I write down whatever assignments I have, or sites they recommend. I also write down any ideas or questions that come to mind so that I try to do things in a specific order each day. I am one of those people who every time I do one task I come up with 5 more to replace it, so detailed organized to-do lists are very important to me.

I also keep a folder for things that I need to read or review so that they are easy to access at any free moment.

What ideas do you have for organizing your office and/or writing?
