Make it a habit

January 29th 2008 01:33
I've heard from many bloggers who have the same lament: I just can't seem to find the time to update my blog. Well, without regular updates you're just writing for yourself primarily. It takes new content to keep a blog fresh and hot (you know, like a muffin!)

Seriously, my recommendation is set aside fifteen or twenty minutes each day to add a new post to your blog. You may not always be inspired to write something clever, but when the inspiration hits you'll be in the proper frame of mind.

Writing is tough work, and blogging is no different than penning a novel or a magazine article. In a previous post I discussed several ways to find inspiration for your blog posts. Now, the secret is finding a regular time each day to think things over, and if sufficiently inspired, write.


On the other hand, don't labor too long trying to create a new post. If you're just not motivated or inspired, than so be it. There's no harm in missing a day or three. But, to the extent possible, I would recommend at least one new post a week at a minimum. Now, start blogging!

I carve out time in the morning, right after I read the news, so that my mind is active and thinking about what's happening...

I plan all of my potential blog posts for the week ahead, I allow for breaks or special series type posts, this helps me plan ahead for the coming content that is to be planned...if this makes any sense!
