Running a blog is one thing. Running a blog with a team of writers is a whole other level of chaos—especially when you’re juggling family, home life, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve learned that staying organized isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Today, I want to share my daily and weekly blog management system for Mommy’s Block Party, including how I manage my team of writers, so other bloggers can take some tips for their own blog hustle.

Daily Blog Tasks That Keep Me on Track

Even on busy days, I try to stay consistent with a few key daily tasks:

• Check emails & messages: Collaborations, pitches, and reader questions all get attention first thing.

• Team check-in: I touch base with my writers via email or Slack to confirm deadlines, answer questions, or assign tasks if needed.

• Social media posting & engagement: I share blog posts, Pinterest pins, and Instagram reels, plus respond to comments and engage with followers.

• Blog comments & community engagement: Replying to readers and connecting with other bloggers keeps my blog active and community-driven.

• Content inspiration & research: Pinterest, Google Trends, and other blogs are my go-to for fresh ideas.

• Mini writing session/review submissions: Even 15–30 minutes a day dedicated to writing or editing helps me keep content moving.

Weekly Blog & Team Tasks

Here’s how I organize my week to stay productive and keep my writers on track:

Monday:

• Weekly content planning meeting with the team (30–45 min)

• Assign blog posts to writers with deadlines

• Brainstorm 1–2 new blog post ideas

• Schedule Pinterest content for the week

Tuesday:

• Write or outline a blog post

• Writers work on assigned posts

• Create graphics (Canva, Pinterest pins)

• Schedule social media posts

Wednesday:

• Edit and proofread blog posts (team & my own)

• Provide feedback to writers

• Update older posts with new links or images

• Engage with email newsletter audience

Thursday:

Sunday:

Monthly Blog & Team Management

On a monthly basis, I:

• Plan a monthly content calendar around seasonal topics (Fall, Back-to-School, Holidays)

• Assign long-term projects to writers (roundups, guides, printable series)

• Review analytics (traffic, engagement, revenue)

• Check writer performance & give feedback

• Update media kit & affiliate links

• 
  

Team Management Tips

Managing a team of writers doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s how I keep things organized:

Weekly Writer Checklist:

• Receive assignments & deadlines

• Submit drafts on time

• Create accompanying images or Pinterest graphics

• Revise posts based on feedback

Manager Checklist:

• Assign blog posts & deadlines

• Review drafts & provide edits

• Track writer performance & engagement

• Plan meetings & brainstorming sessions

Running a blog while managing a team takes organization, patience, and clear communication—but it’s possible to do it without burning out. By sticking to daily, weekly, and monthly routines, you can keep content flowing, your team motivated, and your blog growing.

If you’re a blogger looking for structure, I hope this system gives you some inspiration to create your own calendar—and maybe a little sanity, too!
