I've been thinking about my blog over the past couple of weeks and I've decided to make a change to it. Currently I find I blog when I feel particularly inspired or something is going on that I feel I need to share. The problem with this method is there is no "plan" and every post is random and sporadic. Some weeks there's no posting at all and some weeks there may be two.
I'm a very schedule/regimented/orderly type person and when there is a system in place I am much more likely to put things into action. If something does not have some type of schedule then I tend to put things off for a "later" date when I'm less busy, but the problem I'm finding is that I can always find something else to do whether it is productive or not and then that thing I've been putting off never gets done.
With that being said I have created a blog posting schedule to cover all the topics I enjoy blogging about. Each topic has a particular day during the week so I feel like I will be able to cover all aspects equally without boring people who only care about abc instead of xyz, if you know what I mean. Plus it gives more of a set schedule so my readers will know to check my blog every Friday afternoon, for example, to read about the particular topic they are interested in that I will be blogging about on Fridays.
So here is my blogging schedule from this day forth:
Mondays will be called Makeup Mondays and on those days I will post reviews, monthly favorites, dupes, and anything related to makeup. Ya know, cuz I love makeup so much it has to have it's own special day.
Wednesdays will be called Whatever Wednesdays and on those days I will blog about whatever I want whether it's a DIY craft, decoration idea, recipe I've been loving, or pretty much just anything that has inspired me lately or I feel I need to share.
Finally, Fridays will be Flip House Fridays and on those days I will share with you anything that has been going on at the flip house. The only stipulation with Fridays is there are weeks where the flip house is slow and there's nothing much to blog about, not to mention if mom and I are between houses then of course there won't be anything to blog about. In those instances where there's nothing blog worthy about the flip house then I think I will put up a Friday Favorites where I blog about several things I've been loving that week whether it's makeup, a good book, a new TV show, etc.
I will do my very best to keep the schedule I have shared with you today. I'm sure there will be weeks when I'm busier and I may miss a day or two, but it is my intention to work on backup blog posts for those days so I always have something to post even on holidays, when I'm sick, or just plain ole too overwhelmed. I hope this new change gives my blog a more rounded approach than in the past. I need to be on a more consistent schedule with my posts because it will make me feel more accountable.
This will greatly increase my workload but I think I'm up for the challenge so we will see how this goes! Make sure you either subscribe to my blog by email or check back on Wednesday for my first installment of Whatever Wednesday and I will try to do my best to keep up with this new schedule!
