Are You Kidding Yourself?

Do you ever suffer from writer's block and sometimes use this as an excuse not to write your blog? I know that I have done this in the past, but since I discovered this little strategy that particular excuse has gone.

Do you know how many words you can write in 7 minutes?

  1. Get a timer or use the one on your smart phone
  2. Choose your topic and your keywords
  3. Set it for 7 minutes and start writing (you are probably in for a big surprise)
  4. Next time you want to write a blog but don't feel motivated - just decide to write for 7 mins and see what happens!

I can't tell you in advance how many words that will be, - you will have to test it for yourself. What if it was within the average range which is 1200 -1500 words - might that make the thought of writing a 1000 word blog post seem a little less difficult?

Instead of wasting 7 minutes deciding whether or not to start writing - you could be looking at a brand new blog. You can spend another 7 minutes if you like adding images etc.

So open your mind to the possibilities of what you could do to move your business forward with a spare 7 minutes.

  • a livestream
  • a video
  • some research
  • some tweaking
  • syndicate your blog

The list goes on........

Hope this helps!

Your friend always

My biggest problem are reviews. Especially of products I don't own myself. I need to do endless research and research means I am on the web, and being on the web means I get distracted.

My "I am going to write a blog and do some research for it in the coming hour" becomes easily a whole day of non-production.

Thanks for sharing, Hilary.

That's an awesome suggestion Hilary, thank you.

Also, when feeling creative, put a bunch of draft blogs in your Site Content area that was derived from keyword research. Maybe even create a short outline in each one.

Then, when procrastination sets in, there is no excuse because ideas are sitting there waiting for you. I actually find myself excited to get back to them when I do this

Great suggestion, and I will definitely try it the next time I'm procrastinating about writing an article!

Great tips. If all else fails, write random thoughts. They set a pattern for easy revision!
