Let’s talk planner posts…
So, this may be one of my last monthly planner decoration posts. I’ve been thinking a lot about the feedback you guys submitted in August while also analyzing statistics here at The Chic Life. As you know, my goal with this blog is to provide something useful in the world. And while my planner posts have some of the most traffic of all the blog, it seems the topic-specific planner posts are more useful than the monthly decorations. For example, most of the monthly decoration posts have a handful to a couple hundred pins. Meanwhile, my post on how to decorate your planner with just washi tape has 16.1k pins. While I look at more than just Pinterest shares to understand what content you like, Pinterest is a big indicator.
That being said, I’d like to at least finish 2016. So, I’ll have a couple more monthly decoration posts coming up. Additionally, I have some more topic-specific posts in the works.
Oh and this also means that I probably won’t share my planner decorations on Instagram either. Maybe if there’s one I really-really love. We’ll see. It’s just that, I’ve kind of figured out how I really like to use my planner, so the layouts are starting to look the same. And I think there are other people doing better jobs with their decorations than me, both on Instagram and with Plan with Me videos on YouTube.
I do plan to continue to decorate my planner because it’s a fun and somewhat mindless thing I can do to zone out and get organized when I’m feeling stressed and what not. But, it was starting to stress me out that I’d have to get the layouts all decorated before I could start using them. And it was starting to inhibit my planning, which is counterintuitive, no?
Anywho, enough rambling…now to the planner decorations!
Note: Planner decorations are available on Etsy unless otherwise noted.
