Such great advice. I can’t use a virtual planner either. My husband keeps downloading different ones for me to try but I guess I’m old school that way lol

Just the act of writing the schedule makes me remember the date better.

I’m taking very few review requests this year and it has helped me immensely. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me – on the downside I still feel awful saying no & I sometimes feel like I’m missing out on something wonderful but you have to strike that balance.

This is the hardest part to figure out, and after a year I’m just now getting to where things are feeling under control. Learn to say no, and things get a lot easier.

I do use Google Calendar to schedule out my reviews and posts, but I’ve recently taken to paper as well because I like having to write it down and stare at it. 🙂

The planner will help you a lot. I refer to mine all the time, and actually have posts scheduled out until the middle of March.

@Andrea – The bane of busy book bloggers – falling sleep while reading! I do this constantly, even when the book is awesome. I need to learn to live on less sleep 🙂

@Bonnie – A flexible schedule is crucial to keep the blogging mojo flowing, but it is hard to not over-commit. I constantly struggle with that. It’s just hard to say no sometimes.

I did just get a planner to start keeping track of when certain things need to be posted by, so we’ll see how that goes. I’m not great with scheduling or planning and up until now I’ve never had to worry about it. But since my blog is picking up, I have to keep track of some things.

At night in bed is sometimes the only chance all day I’ll have to read.

Great advice for a new blogger!

I have really been working on setting realistic goals for myself and trying to not over commit. I fell into the trap of agreeing to almost every review that was sent my way last year and towards the end of the year it was just too much to handle!

I think a flexible schedule really is the only option. Reading is subjective and if you are feeling forced to read/write a review and not enjoying your reading time it is going to show in your blogging!
