Friday Fun: Getting Organized

Recently I've decided I need to be better organized and doing a better job of planning ahead with my craft projects, my blog posts, keeping track of what inspiration I'm finding where, why I like it, etc. and life in general. I love to keep ideas and inspiration in my art journal/sketchbook, but I also need a way to be organized with my thoughts about blog posting and such. So, I'm super excited to get into using a planner in conjunction with my art journal/sketchbook :)
I've been looking around online and have found some fabulous resources to get started.
I found this great website - Ahhh-Design where there are all sorts of free downloads for year-long planners, index cards, and weekly snapshot planners. She also posts about her own planners - so much inspiration. Now if only I could make a binder look as fabulous as this :)

I found this sheet over at 74 Lime Lane on planning out blog posts each week. It has spaces for the title, links/resources, how you're going to promote it and a to-do list for each day of the week. Brilliant!

I also decided to purchase this beautiful DIY planner on etsy. It is simply fabulous. The best thing is, you can use it year after year- it is a pdf download so you can print a new one each year and write (or stamp) in the days and dates. LOVE it.

I went to Target last night and purchased a Liberty of London (!!!) 3-ring binder to put all my new DIY planner materials in - Yay! :) I will be putting it together this weekend and will give a peek once I have it all together (and organized ;)) and start using it.

+ What about you? How do you stay organized? Any tips or ideas?
+ If you blog, do you plan your blog posts way in advance? How do you keep track?
+ Please share! :)

Have a fabulous weekend! :)
