excellent suggestion on the notebook. I’ve found myself sprinting down the stairs to the computer screen when a brilliant topic hits my brain for fear I will forget about it later.

if I keep a notebook handy, I can jot those ideas down and move on. I also love the idea about building up a bank of posts. I’ve not been able to find the time to do that just yet, but one day I will.

In the meantime, I’ll just keep reading your blog looking for some other cool ideas.

thanks,
from one very tired blogging mom

I think there are several great thoughts in your post. I need to be more organized and I think a notebook of some sort will help greatly. Thanks again!

Nick: I like that approach of scheduling your posts by type. I may have to try that.

Great post! One thing that I have found helps me a lot is to not only keep on a posting schedule but to keep on a ‘type-of-post’ schedule – i.e every Sunday I write a post around a particular good/famous quote on marketing. On Wednesdays I try to do a media post, like finding a good video and then writing about its lessons. Monday’s and Friday’s are traditional articles.

So this article piqued my interest and I started using Google Notebook. I gotta say it’s pretty useful. I’ve set up different books to sort my thoughts such as :To Do, Diary/Blog Changes, Post Ideas. If you get the Firefox extension you can cut clips from sites and post them in your Notebook. I have to recommend it.

Good advice, I know exactly what you mean, the day job, dishes etc getting in the way.

When I first started blogging I was trying to do 1 post a day, after nearly 5 months of blogging I was getting really frustrated trying to keep this up, now I do 3 posts a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Good advice.
Regards.

Caroline, I completely agree. It’s better not to post than post half-baked rubbish.

Pelf, I have discovered that it is sort of my problem too. If I don’t put down the ideas as soon as they occur to me, it becomes hard for me to expand on them later

redwall_hp, yes, that’s a great time saver too. I save my speedlinkig posts for days when I don’t have anything worthwhile to post

FreeFromBroke, I haven’t used Google Notebook either. I usually put down my ideas on the notepad, and so far it’s been doing the job well.
