It just goes to show that what works for one person isn't going to work for everyone. And I think it's perfectly acceptable to have no real desire to be scheduled ahead on blog posts. That's just not for everyone. So yeah, whatever you find that works best for you is really the key. :) Thanks for commenting Holly!Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Knowhttp://sandyfarmer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-37288875750842610342015-01-24T20:06:50.913-06:002015-01-24T20:06:50.913-06:00It's been so much less stressful to me if I ha...It's been so much less stressful to me if I have a cushion of time that I'm scheduled through. That way if I ever go through any reading slumps--which do happen periodically--I still have content for the blog to post. I can definitely understand it being difficult to get that far ahead...sometimes a month just isn't realistic. But a week or two...sure. Sounds like you've got a great handle on your Lola's kitchen posts and for which days you post what kind of topics. I think that's a great foundation to scheduling posts. I love hearing about others really utilizing Google Calendar as a tool, it has helped me so much.

I also ...Dude this was overwhelming to read. LOL <br /><br /><br />I also schedule using Google Calendar my review books - in teal (ha - imagine the similarity there). But that's about it. I once was ahead enough to schedule 2 reviews a week but that changed rapidly once I started keeping Jackson as my available reading time shrunk. So I don't stress over it now. I read when I can and/or feel like it, and I schedule reviews a week maybe two in advance. But as you know, I only post ARC reviews on Thursday's for my ARC Thursday feature - which isn't consistent since I'm not asking for a bunch of ARC's anymore. And I'm good. :-) Blogging is less stressful for me this way - which is what it's all about, right? Blogging for fun and not being stressed over it.Holly @ Words Fueled by Lovenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-40855550297173872102015-01-24T10:04:34.655-06:002015-01-24T10:04:34.655-06:00Scheduling ahead is such an interest topic. When I...Scheduling ahead is such an interest topic. When I started blogging I always posted on the fly, but after that I quikcly started scheduling all my posts, soemtiems just for the next day, sometimes like blog tours or book blitzes further ahead. I love to get a few weeks or a whole month ahead, so I am working towards that now. It's a bit hard as I only read around one book a week and usually want to post at least one book ahead so I am always scheduling reviews for the next weke, but not further. On the other hand I have Lola's Ramblings posts scheduled for the next month and my Lola's Kitchen posts till end May.<br /><br />I have certain days for my Lola's Ramblings posts (thursday), Lola's Kitchen (friday), Sunday Post (Sunday) and My To-Be Read list meme (Saturday). Tuesday is usually my no bloggin day unless I have a tour or something for that date. Then it's usually monday, wednesday or saturday (when there's no my-to be read list post) for reviews or tours.<br /><br />I use google calendar for my blogging schedule and I have a wordpress plugi which makes a calendar involving all posts you have scheduled already, which is nice. I also colour code my google calendar, purple for already written and scheduled posts, light purple for posts I haveplanned for a certain day, but not yet written and scheduled. Then there's green for personal events, like my mom comes visiting etc. And I use a greenish blue for the tours I am organizing with Lola's Blog Tours and a blueish greens for when I have to send out media kits and invoices. <br /><br />Great post! I always find it interesting to see how other people schedule their posts.Lola Rnoreply@blogger.com
