The art of getting shit done

I have to admit, I have let my life and blogging life become a giant mess that I have had the longest time trying to clear up. I like being organised; having to do lists and seeing what I have to do visually but I just never got the habit of using them to stick.

I decided to opt for an electronic version and I have used your bog standard notes section, to do lists and Asana but they were not cutting it for me. Until I found this nifty little app.

The “To Do Reminder” app has been a little saviour of mine because it has made my life a lot easier.

I use it mostly for blog post scheduling; so when I need to upload, write posts and photograph etc. you can create a task with additional notes, set it as a reminder or even just write a simple to do list.

I have been using this app since around February (as you can probably tell from the pictures) and it has just helped me structure my days a lot better and keep on top of things. This has in no way replaced me still writing down the odd thing or too but it has for been a nice little addition to a more organised life.

Tell me some of your organisation tips below. I am always on the hunt for new ones :)

A Bloggers toolkit | Holy Chic

A bloggers toolkit is not one that contains hammers, nails and screwdrivers so sorry to disappoint if that is what you were expecting but I am going to share with you some things I consider to be essentials when moving forward in blogging.

 

Notebook + pen: this will help you stay organised, keep track of posts you have written, need to write/upload and what not. I’m sorry to tell you this but you can’t make it very far in blogging without a good old notebook

Camera: the rumours aren’t true; you don’t need an expensive dslr camera to do blogging. Of course if you want to, that’s your call but a phone camera does the job just fine. Sometimes all you need is good lighting

Usb: this is optional if you like to write your posts in advance, this will come in handy. You can take your posts on the go, organise them in to different folders and what not

Tablet: this is just my alternative to the oh so important laptop which might just be the no.1 essential. I blog off of my home computer so my tablet is more for travelling purposes and writing the odd blog post, Instagram and participating in chats

Those are just some of my bloggers toolkit essentials and are ones I would have. Are there any you think I have missed or recommend?
