1 sentence that will help you stick to your blogging schedule

How to write 128,250 words without even noticing

Blogging is hard. Not climbing-Everest hard. But pretty hard.  

Writing a new post is a task that too often migrates to the southern territories of your to-do list. Good content takes time and time is a commodity you’re short of. A flurry of tasks lands on your desk each week. Before you know it a month has passed and that blog of yours is looking seriously malnourished. 

And those prime chunks of content that fill out other blogs? They look daunting.

Thing is, what with everyone hanging out online these days, blogging is pretty much a necessity. Showing you know your field, appeasing the search ranking gods and building a dialogue with your audience that keeps them coming back. It all requires good content, on the regular.   

Transform your blogging habits by committing to a process

To achieve anything meaningful, writer and entrepreneur James Clear1 advocates forgetting about your goals and focusing on your processes. Generating a tonne of great content for your blog is a goal. A goal that’s so big and scary that it stifles your productivity.  

Forget about it.

Instead, commit to a process. Set yourself up to write a new blog post every Wednesday afternoon. Or whenever. The point here is commitment. Stick to your process and the results will quickly stack up. Fixating on creating a blog jam-packed with great content? Scary. Focusing on publishing 400-words every Wednesday afternoon? Easy.
