Can I Find Time in My Day to Blogging? How Do They Do It?
So I need to find a way to get my blogging Mojo back again! Oh, wait there’s a book for that on my Kindle. It’s title is 31 Days to Finding Your Blogging Mojo. Do you think reading it again will help? Did I ever have a blogging mojo to lose?
Over the last few months, I’ve started several posts, stopped and never finished them. I know that it’s mostly in the evening I’m either trying to finish a post or sometimes even starting a post. If it’s the latter, then I’m trying to finish the post even later in the night. That is not a good thing for me.
I do my best thinking and writing early in the day. When I was working, I would try to do whatever writing I had to do in the morning, then I would do the outside physical work in the afternoon.
Now how can I battle ending up writing and posting late in the day. To do that let’s look at how I spend my weekdays. My Monday through Friday schedule typically is as follows:
My Typical Weekday Morning Schedule
Monday & Friday
Target at 7 am until 12.45 pm
Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday
either Babysit Zoe and Logan together from 11:30 or 12:30 until 5:15 – 5:45 or
Zoe alone, picking her up at school at 10:30 and then babysitting her until her dad gets home
at 5:15+/-
I do about 30 minutes of yoga each morning. On Tuesday and Thursday for the last month ( this week excluded) I have been running. Running usually takes up more than an hour, when you include prep time, running, cooling down and showering. So the combination of yoga, meditation and running takes over two hours, typically, from 7:15 to 9:30. Then there’s breakfast to make,etc.
If I couple all of the above together and add in the fact that I also need time to read the books that I write about, as well as, listen to the music I plan to write about, then the result is the time I have to write during the morning hours shrinks more and more!! Ouch!
So my question is: How do people do it???
Should I just try to write five posts on the weekends to be posted on various days of the week? Or should I get up every morning at 5 and write between 5 and 7??
Alternatively I could just say: I’m old, nobody reads my stuff anyway, I should just quit blogging?? That last idea seems to be becoming reality, as I have less and less desire to post! Help!
Of course then if the options are sitting home alone staring at a computer writing a post or staring at this little guy or being with Zoe as I am in the featured image, I think I’ll take the latter all the time!!!
