How to Blog Consistently #MondayMusing
I love to write but often life and its numerous chores take over and writing takes a backstage. It happens with all of us. A part of us wants to write but we can’t.
Life has been hectic last couple of months and blogging took the burnt of it. However, I would not blame my hectic schedule but would take responsibility and confess that perhaps not having a dedicated routine for blogging is making it difficult for me to post.

A year back, I used to publish frequently, almost thrice a week. I could do that because I had a routine and a dedicated time for blogging. However, I became complacent and stopped having any time slot for blogging and my readers can see the result.
I do think of writing daily but after opening the laptop, I often find myself watching meme videos on Facebook or checking Instagram stories or worse getting hooked to Netflix. At times I also end up replying to work emails and in the mayhem completely forget the topic I was planning to write for my blog. However, I want to salvage and here I am subscribing to the following habits. If you are a blogger who lacks consistency in blogging frequency then you can also follow the tips.

Tips to Blog Consistently
Dedicated Time: Have a dedicated time. Put an alarm on your mobile so that you never miss it. Once the alarm rings, stop doing whatever else you were doing and sit down to write.
One hour: Write at least for an hour every day.
Avoid Distractions: When you sit down to write try to avoid replying to calls, messages, emails, and comments. If possible log out from social media and write for an hour undisturbed.
List of Topics: Make a list of topics for the entire week. Try to adhere to the topics.
Write Minimum 300 words: Start writing on the decided topic and don’t stop unless you complete a minimum 300 words. Even if they sound gibberish and full of mistakes even then write 300 words non-stop.
Edit: After finishing 300 words or more as long as you feel the flow, edit and proof-read what you have written.
Improvise: There is always scope for improvement and try to make your content as enriching as possible.
Post: Publish the post
