I\u2019ve a confession. I\u2019ve been naughty about blogging this month. With other (real, billable) work taking priority, I\u2019ve ignored my typical writing rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure,\u00a0we\u2019ve all had off writing days<\/a>, but it seems that in the past few weeks, there simply hasn\u2019t been enough\u00a0time<\/em>. And since I like to practice what I preach, I decided to write about some ways to combat the common ways we end up ignoring and abandoning our blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ignoring<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
First, a disclaimer: do what works for you.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Some of the options below aren\u2019t going to work for you, and that\u2019s ok. What\u2019s important is that you figure out what 1) what works for you, then 2) do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule time to write<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re someone that doesn\u2019t do anything without having an event scheduled on your calendar, do it! Add hour or two blocks a few times a week to do nothing other than sit down and write. Maybe you can even get through a few<\/em> blogposts in that time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ahead of schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There will\u00a0always<\/em>\u00a0be a time when you don\u2019t have the time, energy, or inspiration to get blogposts out there. So during the moments when you\u00a0are<\/em>\u00a0inspired, be sure to create extra posts and schedule them ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
