Isn’t that cat fabulous? # How I Plan + Blog Planning Tips In today’s lifestyle post, I thought I’d share my current planner set-up with you and some blog planning tips. I thought it might be interesting, since I know there are quite a few planner enthusiasts out there! ![how-i-plan3](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2017/01/how-i-plan3.jpg) I’m currently using an A5 Aqua Patent Domino Filofax and Month on 2 Pages inserts from the [Etsy shop DearPlanner.](https://www.etsy.com/shop/DearPlanner?ref=search%5Fshop%5Fredirect) In February, I will be using stickers from the Etsy shop [MareBareCrafts](https://www.etsy.com/shop/MareBearCrafts?ref=dd.malinoix.com) — these little dewdrops are a lot smaller than the Martha Stewart comparables but are very similar and actually removable, too. My system for blog planning is fairly streamlined at this point. I have to have a month on two pages for my editorial calendar. Since Devotional Diva has a lot of guest bloggers, I keep track of those on the side. I also keep track of my ideas for posts there. When they are finalized, I write them down on the sticker. I place the sticker ahead of time (usually at the beginning of the month) on the days I plan to blog. Now, you may be asking…is the sticker necessary…? The answer is that stickers are ALWAYS necessary. Also, I do keep track of other appointments in this planner so it keeps the layout neater. ![how-i-plan](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2017/01/how-i-plan.jpg) I choose what kind of sticker or label to use based on what color scheme I want. I used to always use aqua blue, as you can see, those are all gone in the Martha Stewart pages! Now I switch it up month to month. ![how-i-plan2](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2017/01/how-i-plan2.jpg) Here’s my little pouch of planner supplies. It’s actually a makeup bag from Tarte, but I really like it and it’s the perfect size.![how-i-plan4](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2017/01/how-i-plan4.jpg) I also use the weekly cleaning sheets from [DearPlanner.](https://www.etsy.com/shop/DearPlanner?ref=search%5Fshop%5Fredirect) I’m still trying out how to make them best work for me.![how-i-plan8](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2017/01/how-i-plan8.jpg) Also from [DearPlanner](https://www.etsy.com/shop/DearPlanner?ref=search%5Fshop%5Fredirect), here are my daily OR weekly sheets. Some days I do I have enough to fill up a whole page, or I end up using a page for a whole week. Since they are undated, it works for me. Breakfast/lunch/dinner ends up not meaning the same thing, but that’s okay. ![how-i-plan5](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2017/01/how-i-plan5.jpg) My lovely charm on the planner is from Coach – I’ve had it for years and basically always kept it on my planner because it just makes me happy! [I was able to find a similar one here.](https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=528756140&pid=uid2996-34580114-30&ref=dd.malinoix.com)\* I also always use colored Filofax paper refills because they, too, just make me happier! I do a lot of journaling in these back sections and also take notes and make lists there (ex: Christmas planning). \*Affiliate Link–Please see my disclosure on the bottom of every page of Devotional Diva in hot pink font, of course.![how-i-plan6](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2017/01/how-i-plan6.jpg) My favorite pens and highlighters are the [Frixion pens by Pilot](https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb%5Fsb%5Fnoss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=frixion+pens&ref=dd.malinoix.com) and have been for a looooong time. They are erasable — The only truly erasable pens I have encountered. I hope this little look at my planning system was interesting! ![dd-sig](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2016/03/dd-sig-300x161.png)
