I found two options that I have been testing out.  The first is a free template from Blogging Wizard (see #2 for this Google Sheets option &#8212; he also mentions Trello!).  Here is a screenshot of how I used this last summer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-Wizard.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-Wizard-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Google Sheet Template from Blogging Wizard\" class=\"wp-image-798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-Wizard-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-Wizard-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-Wizard-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-Wizard-850x183.png 850w, https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Blog-Wizard.png 1169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, I have been using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notion.so\/\">Notion<\/a> and their free Content Calendar (which very much resembles a Kanban board in Trello).  Here is the screenshot of my implementation of that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Notion.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1003\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Notion.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Content Calendar Template from Notion\" class=\"wp-image-799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Notion.png 1003w, https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Notion-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Notion-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.perceptivepetal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Notion-850x404.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1003px) 100vw, 1003px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I still use the draft feature to house some of my ideas, but I feel that these other tools will give me better organization and allow me to play to move my ideas to actual blog posts.
