12 Ideas for More Productive Blogging
Blogging can take a lot of time. Time that’s hard to carve out of from all your responsibilities. Day job, family, writing–well, life. Here I’ll give you some tips on how to be a more productive blogger. More blog posts in less time.
- Keep an idea file on your desktop so it’s one click away from adding an idea. Jot down ideas and titles for blog posts.
- When you’re reading other blog posts, or your RSS feed reader, skim the posts for ideas for your blog. Use the above mentioned file to quickly jot down an idea.
- Disconnect. Turn off the phone, email, twitter, IM. Sit down and write.
- This goes against our writer personality, but don’t obsess over every comma, typo and word choice in your posts. If you are spending tons of time polishing up every word, you’re spending too much time on your blog posts, and not enough on your life.
- Write extra posts when you’re feeling creative, these will come in handy when you’re too busy to blog, go out of town, or just need a bit of time off to refill the well. Store them up in your drafts in Wordpress or a folder on your computer.
