At the end of Phase 4 of Bootcamp, it called for a 20 day schedule which came in perfect timing because that's what I thought I needed for awhile and never got around to it.

Still, I had procrastinated on making the schedule for awhile.

Then finally I sat down and made one last Thursday and it's been so awesome!

Not only I'm writing better but I don't waste time thinking about what I'm going to write that day. I've also planned days for keyword research so I don't waste time on writing days on that neither.

I also have cleared days on Saturdays and Sundays so I can do any "catch up" and more importantly spend time with my family... which I have not be doing well at. So I'm super happy about that and I had awesome quality time with my family this past weekend.

Each planned writing day has:

• keywords to use
• subject or title or notes on what to write
• when the post will be posted
• type of posts

The benefits of this schedule are:

• Separate keyword research days
• I now write 5 days a week (unless there's a keyword research day)
• Highly productive days
• I get to schedule out my posts so I'm posting 3 times a week on my blog
• Free time on weekends
• Less stressful
• More organized in many ways
• Quality family time

I really like the fact I can see what types of posts I've scheduled and what I need to do more of.

Because I'm scheduling out posts, I'll be set when I go on my week long vacation soon!

There are so many wins, I won't stop scheduling now that I've started and see the huge benefits to it. I can't wait to be able to schedule out posts about 2 months in advance so I can start a new site!

Do you have a writing schedule??

Happy writing WA'ers!
