My #1 Blogging Tool
Over the past couple years, there have been blogging game-changers for me. When I discovered scheduling social media posts or the benefits of using WordPress, it seemed like blogging got easier and more fun to do. I could envision my blog goals and be inspired to post new content. But this year, I discovered a new must-have for blogging that has changed everything, and I’m not just being dramatic….
This may sound pretty simple, but I adore having a blogging notebook. We’re getting back to the basics here on the blog today.
Why Use a Blogging Notebook
I use a large, black soft cover Moleskine notebook for all my blog work. It also has plain, unruled sheets, which makes writing and planning so much easier to do. In my notebook, I write out my blog posts, my ideas for future posts, inspiring quotes, to-do lists, schedules and random thoughts. I also let myself doodle and draw on the pages, making it feel more like home. When I get notes from blogging friends, I also like to include them in my notebook, securing them with washi tape.

Overall, my blogging notebook is my go-to, physical place for all my blog needs. It gives me a creative outlet outside my computer and has been a wonderful tool for creative inspiration.
But why is it my #1 blogging tool?
Having a blogging notebook has enhanced my blog productivity and kept me inspired to blog throughout the past several months. When I write posts in my journal, it helps me get my thoughts down quickly and then I will transfer them to WordPress, making quick edits. It helps save time and helps me focus my topics.
With my blogging notebook, I have also made it a habit to write down any idea for a blog post. Because of this, I have lists and lists of blog post ideas, ready to use whenever I lack creative inspiration.

Another reason I love my blogging notebook is that I find writing things on paper is such a different experience than typing on a computer, and that it is so rewarding. It is so natural to write on paper, and it feels super genuine. I don’t have to feel pressured to be perfect. I can make mistakes. I can just write what my mind is thinking, even though it may not make sense at the time. My favorite thing is to reread my writing to see what I was thinking in the past and see how it relates to my life right now.
