We've had a lot going on over the last few months (which I kind of feel silly even saying because who doesn't, right?), but I realized that most days were leaving me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and sometimes kind of angry.

3 Reasons Successful Bloggers use Editorial Calendars and Free Printables
Blogging is my dream job, but it can also be a black hole of never ending tasks. When I started my blog three years ago, I struggled with staying on top everything I had to do. Worst of all, I found myself missing great opportunities to post about holidays and other special events because I wasn't organized. I knew my disorganized blogging strategy (or really lack thereof) wasn't working and something had to change so I started using an editorial calendar.
