Top Productivity Tools for Busy Bloggers
Struggling to stay on top of your blogging to-do list? You’re not alone! In this blog post, I’ll introduce you to the productivity tools I use, including simple essentials like a notebook and calendar, plus online resources that can transform how you manage your blogging tasks.
Many, many changes have happened in the blogging world since I began blogging over a decade ago! However, finding a system to organize all my to do lists, ideas, and workflow has been essential all along the way. Here are some of the things I use:
1. A notebook by my computer.

When I first started blogging and using tutorials for everything, I found myself writing notes on scrap pieces of paper…and then looking all over for them when I needed the information again! Now I just write it down in the notebook. If I ever need to reference something I found in the past, it’s all in the same place. It’s also a sort of “diary” of my blogging journey.

2. A paper calendar of blog post ideas. I’m sure there is some fancy, schmancy computer calendar planning program out there, but this time I chose to go old school.
Once I narrow down topics I want to write about, I put them on a paper calendar for the day I want to publish them. Then when they are done and scheduled, I can cross them off the list.

3. Online tools to help streamline blogging today.
Since I first wrote this post many years ago, I have changed many of my systems to accomodate the ever changing world of blogging.
You can find the whole list of online business tools here.
