I have a very loose blogging schedule. I find if I'm too rigid with planning out my reading or my blogging, I don't enjoy it as much.

I do have a blogging schedule, and I'm trying to schedule more of my life. I feel like I get more done and I'm more creative because I don't have to think about what I'm supposed to do at that time.

Hello
No, I don't have a schedule. I sometimes think I should though although I probably wouldn't stick to it - and then it would make me feel like I was failing! LOL
Lynn :D

That's very well thought out, mine is simply a days of the week rather than what theme each day. I've thought of changing to something more like yours to make it easier. Having a day off after 3 days in a row it a good idea, a nice mix of daily and less pressure.

I have a blog schedule and I use good ol pencil and a paper calendar because I am always changing things and adding post ideas as they come up. I only devote Saturday mornings to blog and I can knock out the week of post using my schedule. That gives me time to visit other blogs, read and keep up with my life. LOL! I tried to do it day by day but it was to consuming. Now I can put a post up everyday if I have time on Saturday.

Sunday -Sunday Best
Monday -Review
Tuesday -Open
Wednesday -Open
Thursday -Open
Friday -Friday Fitness
Saturday -What I Am Reading...

The open days are for extra reviews, blog hops, giveaways, my monthly post (monthly wrap ups and casting couch), winners, blog events.

It makes life so much easier. I love this feature/challenge you are doing about blog improvement.

I feel so slack compared to you. When I do managed to get posts done ahead of time and scheduled I do feel much more accomplished than when I just work on a post the night it needs to go up.

I need to try and be more diligent about getting things done ahead of time. Thanks for sharing.

I do keep a blogging schedule. In the past I have used google calendar to do this, but I've been using Evernote since you suggested it and it's been working great. I find it takes some pressure off to have post ideas written down ahead of time. Two areas in which I'd like to improve are- using less memes, more original content and scheduling posts ahead of time. Mostly it's just a time factor right now. Life is so busy that it's easy for me to just follow memes right now. I haven't been able to get ahead on posting yet either. These are some spring goals of mine. I also loosely plan my reads for the entire year. I can do this because I don't take arcs right now. Mostly I'm just reading stuff that came out last year that I never got to. I like having a list of books I want to read each month because it helps me stay on track. The plan is loose and allows for switch ups if I'm just not feeling a book or something new comes along that I want to read right away. For me, scheduling is a must. I don't always follow it exactly, but it keeps me together.

I feel so torn about having a schedule like that. Part of me REALLY wishes I did...because I'd keep better track of everything and have a more organized blog in general. I love organization. But on the flip side, when I've tried a schedule like that, I get overwhelmed because I inevitably fall behind. If I had more computer time, it might be feasible, but until then, I think I need to fly by the seat of my pants. :)

You're so organized! I really need to start writing up posts weeks in advance to be stress free too. I print out a calendar every month and write in what I want to do each day like a review or meme or discussion, etc. But I don't always follow it.
