Around a year ago, I wrote a blog posted titled 'Organisation Tips for Blogging' and to this day it is still one of my most viewed and commented blog post. As we approach 2017, I think I need to take a leaf out of my own book and organise my blogging life. If you're like me and find it hard to fit in some time to write a blog post, then maybe these tips will motivate you to reorganise and plan your blogging life.

A notebook for me is the best way of motivating myself to plan out new and interesting blog posts in detail so when it comes to the time of writing, I know exactly what I'm writing and including. A visually interesting to look at notebook always helps me stay motivated and the one included in these images is the Zoella 'Once Upon a Time' notebook which can be brought from Superdrug. It was £14 and was the best purchase I've made for a notebook. Within the lined pages there are inspirational quotes which help me keep going through those bloggers block moments.

Similarly, a diary of some kind is always helpful to keep up to date with when you're going to post, in terms of both times and dates. Having a diary also allows me to see if I'm posting too many of one type of blog post too often such as too many beauty/makeup posts next to each other. I use the same diary for blogging as I do for my university assignments and lecture dates and times, as I find having everything in one place is best for me.

Lastly, it's the 21st century and everyone under the age of 20 has some kind of mobile device with them. So why not use your phone to set reminders/make notes on the go? Its easy and I'm guessing you always have your phone in your hand, just like I do? (haha). Make use of this and download apps for notes and blogging, its so simple yet so obvious.

I hope i've inspired or given you fellow bloggers or busy bee's like me to keep organised and prepared for 2017.
