Matt:

You're definitely onto something with the weekly routine. Repetition and discipline tend to make most things easier. I haven't been as good with my writing as I'd like, but you have me thinking about carving out a block of time each week for this purpose.

As I replied to Niall above, I tend to be a streaky writer. Once I focus on the task, the posts kind of naturally flow. Just budgeting time for this process might help me build that "treasure trove" of content that can help smooth out those bumpy weeks when there is less time for writing.

Have a great weekend,

Justin

Justin,

Glad you found the post useful! I also love the "treasure trove" idea - it's all about finding the time to create treasure! :)

Hi Matt, thanks for sharing these resources, I've found that writing more than one blog post at a time works well for me. In other words, I no longer write start to finish, but dip in and out of many posts as I go. - Niall

I completely agree. Perhaps it's because I tend to be a streaky writer, but I find that I'll come up with a few ideas at a time. It is easier for me to just create several drafts at once.

Niall,

Glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for sharing your own tip! Multi-tasking is a fine way to go if you can pick-up the train of thought when you return to each post. Sometimes I can, sometimes not so much. :)

I love writing blogs and always try to find time every week if possible. If I don't get time I make a list of subjects I would like to write about. Thanks for your handy hints

I agree - blog writing is a lot of fun. This week, I just got wrapped up in another fun thing - creating a video course. :)

Glad you enjoyed the post!
