“Life is fast”, “Life is busy”, “I don’t get time”, we often hear ourselves saying this. Most of us have full time jobs and are often tired or stressed but yet we want to make it big in the blogging industry. I remember telling someone at a bloggers meet up that you must write every single day to be some where as a blogger, they actually freaked out. It is a good blogging practice to be consistent with your blog posts as Mr Google also loves consistency, so if you can’t do it everyday, do it every other day or every week, just stay consistent because the more you write the more Google loves you, in simple words.
So how can you find time to write a blog post since you are at work 8-9 hours a day or 11-12 hours including the commute. Here are some ways that can make your life a little easier.
Wakeup Earlier:
Wakeup a little earlier and spend just 10-15 minutes on your blog. At the most, upload pictures, set featured image, insert URLs on your laptop as this can be a little tedious to do on a phone or tablet or iPad (or whatever). Add the text part while you are on your way to work.
Blogging Apps:
Install Blogger or Word Press App in your phone, you already added pictures etc when you woke up, now you just need to add the text and there! Job done!
These are the best two ways to consistently write every day. So the next problem is, what to write about? Everyday we cannot find ideas to write about so the best thing is to just review things you have at home. Anything! It can be something in the kitchen or bathroom or something you recently bought or a beauty/makeup product or clothes, you will always have products around you to review. It really depends on what your blog is about but if you are a beauty/fashion blogger like me then reviews and hauls will give you some ideas.
Cut down on TV:
I have noticed that since I have stopped watching TV, especially movies, I get more time to spend on my blog. Even though I am a mom, it all depends on how much chance my son gives me but I only watch Hollyoaks so that’s just half an hour of TV.
Keep Going:
I tell bloggers to be consistent but I myself sometimes get bored or run out of ideas but I know I have to keep pushing myself so I just keep going.
Do you have any ideas? Please comment and share.

I can find the time. I have a hard time picking a subject.
I know it can be difficult. I have nit been able to blog this month , I have so many things to write about but it’s one of those times when you ara a little demotivated. Look around you again and you will find so many things to write about. Maybe we can give each other topics to write about 🙂 how’s that?
Thanks for a great post, it can be hard to post frequently.
I agree 100% with what you said! And I am working on a blogging schedule at the moment! As a stay at home mom, I do have the time to blog! But most of the time lack the inspiration of what to blog about! For now my goal is to blog 3 times a week. And to cut my time I spend on social media for promotion in half!
I am hoping to have a blog post up about my blogging schedule mid next month. It is still at it’s trial and error stage!

You’re right, I just need to put things in perspective…one thing that occurred to me while reading this is that I could write while i’m on break at work using my phone and then transfer it to my blog later.
Yes! Finally something about %keyword1%.
