Five Tips for Finding Writing Time
A couple or so weeks ago, I decided to set fixed time for writing blog posts. While I’ve always had some kind of content schedule, getting the posts written often ended up being a hit-and-miss proposition.
I’ve picked after supper, five days per week, as my scheduled writing time. Getting into this groove, I’ve discovered three things:
- Having this time set for writing blog posts, I’m getting blog posts written. That may seem obvious, but when you’re trying to fit writing in, while being distracted by other things, it’s not an efficient process.
- Not only am I getting one blog post written, sometimes it’s two or three posts. As I dig through reference material and notes I have taken, I see the ideas for other posts. Again, the efficiency of focus leads to more being written.
- If something crosses my personal radar, and I’d like to post it immediately: such as this post or quick links to other material, I’m free to run with it.
