What do you think is the easiest way to keep up with your editorial calendar? Do you use paper, maybe a poster calendar, or notes in a daytimer? Do you have an app on your iphone or template on your computer? Or, are you using an online, floating in the clouds, service like Evernote or Asana?And, why? Is it a matter of preference or is there really a better way to stay organized?

@deairby I use Google Calendar, and a bunch of my clients use a Google Docs spreadsheet. If you are traveling from one computer to another, it makes sense to have it in a place you can access everywhere.

I use Google Calendar which syncs to my iPad and pings me reminders when needed. I also love Evernote.
Over the years I found that the editorial calendar is in the eye of the beholder. Some people prefer a giant paper calendar that’s in front of them where they can look up and see everything at a glance, while others (like me) prefer something electronic, taking up little spaces but making lots of noise for reminders.

I’ve been giving the Wordpress Editorial Calendar a go on one of the blogs that i’m responsible for – that has several authors.

The plug-in helps authors see what posts they and other users have scheduled for auto-posting, and also shows the posts that are yet to be scheduled.
Going to check out @justinthompson‘s suggestion of Divvy hq as that sounds like something that might help elsewhere in the office.
