Just Write

It seems like forever since I blogged, and I simply don’t have a good excuse. “I’m busy” just seems lame. I have thoughts in my head (as do you) that need to be expressed and shared — I simply have to make the time, develop the habit (as do you).

It doesn’t have to be long. Seth Godin’s post from yesterday was 49 words.

It doesn’t have to be every day. Some say it’s awesome, others say it’s silly. But I am going to set that as a goal, at least for a while.

For me, and perhaps for you, there will be two keys to making this happen:

Schedule the time. Personally, I recommend planning on it earlier in the day, rather than later. First of all, your mind is fresher (I wake up with ideas that would make great blog posts, don’t you?). Secondly, if you miss it, you can still make it up at multiple opportunities later in the day — lunch, after work, after dinner, before bed, etc.
Make it easy.  Make your “Add New Post” page the first bookmark on your bookmarks bar.  Have your content ideas and curation sources at your fingertips, ready to go. Learn the tools that make the process easier.

Until tomorrow…
