Earlier this week we wrote about our process for planning the blog posts you see here on A Beautiful Mess. We talked about our marker board calendar and thought it would be fun to show you a few peeks from our office.
Our planning board was created from two large marker board panels we purchased at our local home improvement store. We screwed them right into one of the walls in our office. The top board we divided into fourteen slots with black electrical tape, and we marked the days of the week with black vinyl letters. We use the top board as our working calendar of blog post plans, while the bottom board is what we use during meetings to brainstorm and draw sketches of ideas.
Having one area to keep all our ideas at least sort of organized is a great resource to keep ourselves on track. Thanks for letting us share and happy Saturday! xo. Emma and Elsie
It's amazing having an insight into how you plan and organise! I absolutely love your blog and it has inspired me so much, so thank you!

The simplest things always seem to be the best ways to get things done.

Love the system! I'm still using a moleskine notebook but I love how colorful and inspiring the board is!

Great organisation! But I'm more interested in what is on the board. HALLOWEEN MILKSHAKE?! :D

What a creative idea! I have a blackboard in my dorm room, and I may start using that for brainstorming instead of letting it collect dust.
