a_?Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.a_? - Jim Rohn
If you surf the blogosphere, you’ll find thousands of blogs that started out with a lot of promise but they’ve now decayed and declined. Most bloggers find out soon enough that:
- Writing
- Is
- Hard
- Work
As a result, bloggers start out with a lot of steam. But after a certain time, they stop writing regularly and their blogs die a slow death.
(Disclosure: You’ll find a few blogs by yours truly that started out well but have died a slow death too.)
The Trick to Writing Regularly
The trick is to know this:
Its easier to
write one post everyday
than to write 2-3 posts a week.
As counter intuitive as it sounds, its true. Because by deciding to write one post a day, you’ll set a fixed schedule. You won’t procrastinate. You won’t wait for inspiration to hit you. You won’t try to find excuses. Instead, you’ll form a habit!
And habit is what will keep your blog going.
Action Summary:
- If you are a sporadic blogger and post irregularly, switch gears - and make it your goal to write one-post-a-day.
- Form a habit and you’ll build momentum and make things easier for you.
