To write a blog requires a little planning times, especially if you write a creative blog that require you to have created something to blog about. To help myself a little bit along the way, I have a section in my binder for my blog. It contains my plans as well as a calendar. The calendar, however, was skipped very quickly, it’s easier to use a calendar in Google Calendar to schedule when and what I want to post.

I don’t do everything on this list every time I blog, but I have tried to cover all the bases. This list may not work for you, but hopefully you get inspired by it. Of course you can download my version (as a  file for Silhouette Studio or as a PDF) and using Washi tape to cover what’s not working for you.
I have used this a couple of months now, and have things I’ll change when I create the next one. I have among other things been adding something and I have things that are unnecessary.

Material List:

Today there will be a new small package of loose pages from my binder.

The package contains one page for notes, one page to remember all the books you’ve read (with a little connection to Goodreads) and two pages that I use to get my Silhouette cutting machine to work optimally.

I use my pages of notes as a small notepad or notebook. Since my binder is always beside me at the desk, it is easy to write down things I don’t want to forget. The piles with notes that’s always have been all over my desk is now almost completely gone.

Sometimes my note is something I just need to remember right now before I write it where it belongs. I working on reducing my stress, but I don’t always have the time to write everything on its proper place. On those occasions I use a little note that I (washi)tape it into the note pages.

My annual list of books tend to be quite long, this year my Goodreads goal is 70 books. Usually I finish a book in the evening, and it’s not always the best time to put it on Goodreads (their app and I’m don’t totally agree). Moreover, it is great to stock up on the list when it is so visible 🙂
On these pages I fill in the title of the book, author and ISBN number. There is also space to record the date when I started the book, and when I finished it, and what kind of book it is (this makes it easier if I’m not already have the book in my library on Goodreads, and will have to look for it). I also try to give the book a rating and then there is a box to tick when I brought the information to Goodreads.

Last pages is about Silhouette Studio.One page holds the settings for the knife and the other page is a blank page for notes. I use the last to remember the little tricks and tips. I use the settings page when I try a new material. These settings do not always work, but they give a clue to what I usually use. It hangs very much on how much the blade is worn.

That was this package. I create pages faster than I can blog about, so I will package pages this way from know. There are going to be theme packages and mixed packages depending on how many pages I have to fit together.

The files are as usual available in a PDF so you can print out and put in a separate folder, or as a cut file for Silhouette Studio if you use the same type of binder as me.

Materal list:

To make my very full head less messy, I write to-do lists. Lots of lists and then a couple lists to the lists. All these notes and papers are everywhere and I lose them. Not a great way to reduce the mess and stress.
These pages are now in my binder, and they help me a lot. I know where they are and they are not lost. I combine with the weekly planning and every Sunday I sit down and check the coming week and write down everything important.

I use the daily one to sort out what is important and what must be done in a day. I mix the cleaning with blogging and job tasks. I use the blank page when there are bigger things going on, a party, a trip or something that require a bit more tracking.

As usual, there are two files, one for Silhouette and one PDF that you can print.
