When You Are Short On Time

Posted by Jimmy as Blog Tutorial, Opinion, Tips, Writing

Letâ€™s face it â€“ one of the biggest problems that we have as writers is the fact that we often find ourselves pressed for time. This is very true for me. I have a day job which takes up most of my day and I end up trying to squeeze in some writing very early in the morning before I go to work or very late at night before I go to bed. Though this does the trick some times, I know that I could come up with better posts if only I had more time to do my writing. Over time, I have stumbled upon several good practices that help me make the most out of my writing. I thought Iâ€™d share them with you.

Find a huge block of time and dedicate it to writing
This could be tough if you have a very busy schedule but my way of thinking is this: if you really want something bad enough, you can always make time for it. For myself, I found two ways to do this. The first one is to wake up extra early for one day and spend 3 to 4 hours solely on writing. The second one is to spend half a day of Saturday or Sunday for my writing activities. Either way works â€“ which one I choose for the week depends on my current work load.

So why do I suggest setting aside this time? When I have several hours to focus on writing, I find myself coming up with better posts â€“ they are more polished and the topics are presented in a tighter, more coherent manner. What I do is write several posts during this time and then pre-date them or publish them on the day they are supposed to be published.
