2010 Blog Schedule

I’ve written about importance of a routine before. I am a firm believer of setting schedules and organizing tasks ahead of time as much as possible. I’ve learned that if I do that, I am considerably more likely to get the task accomplished.

That’s why I list the books I will read, the projects I will do, etc. etc. I know that if I’ve already made the list, I am halfway there.

Since August 1, I’ve been posting on my blog every single day. Some days several times a day but every day at least once. And I love that. I love seeing all these posts later and I love reading them later so I am really enjoying having them here. And I want to continue this.

One of the things I did in September to make this easy on myself was to come up with a schedule for the week. And I’ve mostly kept to it. So I am now making one for 2010. Here’s the current plan (always subject to change of course):

Daily – Photos, 3 Things I’m Thankful For, Thoughts of the Day and mindfulness

Mondays – Crafting with David
Tuesdays – Thoughts on Gratitude & other topics
Wednesday – Creative Therapy
Thursdays – A book a week & Digital Downloads
Fridays – Weekly gratitude
Saturdays – 52 things in 2010
Sundays – Weekly Layout

The Tuesday and Thursday posts will be cross-posted on the Weekly Gratitude blog and the Wednesday post will be cross-posted at Creative Therapy blog. Sundays will likely be full of layouts I make for A Million Memories.

I set the digital downloads for the same day as the book a week because I know that I won’t get to finish a book every single week so I will still have a post on that day either way.

I like to balance my site so it has both words and art so I tried to create a schedule where they either alternate or there’s both every day.

At least, this is the plan. Better than not having a plan. Let’s see how it all works out. I plan to start the schedule on January 4 since that’s the first Monday of the year.
