We all know about the many amazing benefits of blogging, writing, self-publishing, and other forms of content marketing. But one of the hardest parts is actually finding the time to sit down, write, and create content! I’ve heard from so many people who want to write more or create more content for their businesses but just have so much trouble finding the time and making it a habit. Below are seven tips for finding time in your busy schedule to get your butt in your writing seat and create awesome content.
Write what you’re most enthusiastic about in the moment
Don’t be afraid to take a pause on writing a given topic while you’re writing it. If you’re not getting your thoughts onto the page effectively, or coming up with the thoughts in the first place, move on to something you’re more excited about at that moment. Then, revisit the previous topic when you are more motivated to write it.
This gives you a better return on your time because you will write faster about a topic that you’re more excited about. Eventually, you will have to revisit that topic—hopefully at a time that you are excited to do so, but you may simply have to force yourself.
