How to make the most of your blog when your time is limited
By facing some harsh realisations and making some simple changes to the way you blog, you will never be strapped for blogging time again.
Keep your focus on the big picture
If you are finding that your blog is going astray and you are losing focus on what you want to say and how you want to say it, sit back and take stock of where you are at and where you are headed. Having a clear plan of what you want your blog to achieve when you start out really helps you to stay on track.
Your plan can change as your blog matures and finds its feet. Just keep in mind the bigger picture and what you want to achieve. If you are doing things that don't contribute to the bigger picture, stop them and move on.
Stop trying to do everything, all the time
So you're not feeling the blogging love today? Stuck for ideas or motivation? Or just not feeling the love. Leave it be. Wait until you find your inspiration and start again. If you miss a day or a week of content, don't stress. Get back on top when you have found your blogging mojo.
Make a plan and stick to it
The night before, make a task list for your following day. You'll wake knowing exactly what you have on that day and can get straight to it. Nothing beats preparation and it will lead to less wasted time on thinking about your day - and more time getting it done!
Stop procrastinating!
Let's face it - we all put off today what we can do tomorrow. From sleeping in, to going out for coffee, to everything in between - you name it, we'll do it. And the worst offender is social media. We love it but geez does it sap our time. Statistica states that the average daily usage of social media worldwide in 2015 was 106.2 minutes per day - an increase of 3 minutes from the year before. That's over an hour and a half every day! Considering we sleep for 8 hours a night, that's 11% of our waking day spent on social media. Crazy when you put it like that isn't it. So log off, and concentrate on your job at hand. Get social once you're done.
When you are an organised blogger, time is on your side.
