I think some people underestimate how much it takes to run a regular blog. But if like me you run one along side a full time job then I have a few tips on how to stay organised.
Planing is key- every Sunday I always plan out my content for the rest of the week. I take all my photos and load them all into blogger so that I don’t have to worry too much during the week. This makes balancing a job and a regular blog so much easier as all my posts are ready to go.
Blog Post Ideas– whenever I get an idea for a blog post I always jot it down on my to do list as you never know what could turn into great content. I tend to keep my to do list on my phone so that I always have it handy, as you never know when an idea will pop up.
Make List- Never underestimate the power of lists. I’m a big fan of keeping a bunch of to do lists, it makes me feel better to jot things down and generally helps me with keeping organised. I find that I feel less stressed if I write down everything I need to do for the week. It also helps you keep focused and prioritise what’s most important.
Schedule- As I plan all my blog posts at the start of the week I then find it really useful to schedule them to go live every day. This means that I don’t have to worry about whats going up and when and can focus on other aspects of the blog, like social media and planning.
Keep A Diary– This may sound like an obvious one but writing everything in a diary makes life so much easier and ensures that you don’t try and cram too much in. I find especially around press day season you can easily double book yourself so it’s best to write everything down!
