Attention Bloggers – Here’s how to add at least one more post to your tally every day

When working as an in-house writer, and having to meet daily targets, with little or no distractions to use up your time, you can manage to produce copious numbers of articles day in and day out. But when it comes to working as a freelance writer or a self-sufficient blogger, many feels that they are churning out fewer articles or blog posts in a day time, than what they’ve intended. Adding a couple more to your tally on daily basis would let you multiply your income (if you are a freelance writer) or you might be able to set up a new Blog knowing that you can produce an extra 20 – 25 posts in a month.

Let’s see how and where you can save some time and produce at least one additional post on daily basis.

Cut the time that you spent in front of TV:

TV is known to be a proven time waster, there’re so many channels that you can end up wasting hours in just settling on the one to watch. You switch on Television to watch some news and end up wasting half an hour on a reality show that you keep watching just because you were captivated by the staggering amount of stupidity, or you tune in to a channel thinking that you will get back to work after watching a short sitcom, but ends up spending a couple more hours because the following programs caught your eye.

If you can only curb the time you spend in front of TV into half, you’ll be able to add at least one more post to your daily schedule. You don’t need to quit watching TV altogether, all you need is some self-control. Just like the kids, who are allowed to watch their favorite shows only after they have completed their homework? Why can’t we regulate our lives like we want our Children to do?

Utilize the time spent in travelling or breaks:

If your campus or workplace is located at some distance and you need to do a lot of traveling

every day, especially on public transport like subway or tubes, you can easily utilize this time for writing a rough draft (unless you are driving or traveling during peak hours). You can get yourself a light weight notebook, or just a smart phone with QWERTY keypad “¦ the post, written on the move, might not be of very good quality but you can always proofread and improve that later. Same goes for the free time you get in lunch breaks or intervals between two classes, just a tad difficult if you are blogging on a topic that needs lots of research or pondering, but at least, you can come up with short fill-in posts.

Stop putting off and start writing straight away:

Are you one of those amateur writers, who keep a note of topics that they plan to write on, either in their cell phones or some firefox add-ons, only to go through the list after some time and realize that majority of those topics are obsolete, because the hype has died down, or you can’t make out exactly what you intended to write on a topic that sounds absurd? If anything, it shows that you are taking more time in planning or procrastinating than doing the actual job, because to be brutally honest, it doesn’t take much time in jotting down some words once you have got the right topic to write on. So, if you are having a long list of titles and continuously failing to utilize most of them, then you seriously need to plan less and do a little more.

Refraining from excessive socializing (both online and offline):

That doesn’t mean you need to have fewer friends to be more productive, but spending lots of time on social networks while trying to sneak a quick look into every body’s lives (and even worse, killing time playing those games at FB) is something that doesn’t really add up? If signing in to Facebook, twitter, or some online community is the first thing that comes to your mind when you are sitting idle, then clearly you are giving it more importance than what it merits, this time can be better spent on writing a post.
