I use a calendar, but I’m not as strict with it as I need to be. I’m definitely going to have to check out that plugin though. I would probably be better at sticking to my content goals if I had the publication dates staring me in the face 🙂

Thanks for this! We will definitely be looking for this plug-in. We use WordPress for all our clients, and managing their blog calendars in this fashion will definitely make things a lot easier.

We also use Google calendars to keep track of their posts. Just like every writer, every client has their own calendar and is color-coded so that we can tell at a glance who is up to date and who needs work. It’s also a good place to make notes, schedule meetings, etc.

I could probably spend all day organizing to be honest. It’s so fun…but I usually have way too much work to do for that. Drats!! But I do love me a good shopping trip for office supplies eh! 🙂

Girl, who says you have to choose? When it comes to organization you can use ALL the tools #whatitellmyself #notaddicted

I’ll have to give that plugin a shot. I’ve heard others promoting before as well…I am just so addicted to Post-its and actual calendars that I tend to default there. I suppose a plugin could be a step up from that 😉

+1 Arienne. Definitely a keeper. Between my real editorial calender and that plugin, it’s hard to get disorganized 😉

Hey, Kristy. If you haven’t heard me promote it before, I will now:

If you use WordPress to manage a blog, I highly recommend the “WordPress Editorial Calendar” plugin. It lets you drag and drop posts to rearrange them, in calendar format, and it’s very simple to go back get an overall view of what you published when. You can also add/schedule new posts right from the calendar. I LOVE it.
