Make life easier with daily blogging

After writing about the importance of blogging
and the 7 reasons to blog, I decided to get my act
together and try to write a blog post every day.

This task appeared daunting at the start, but has
proved a great time saver.

Once I realised how many resources I had to provide
material for posts, sourcing information was not a
problem.

Since this AMC blog literally feeds a number of my
lenses (via RSS), all I have to do is publish the lenses
because the blog post has created a change or update
without further intervention on my part.

I now have a growing directory of information
on the blog that I can access at any time for my
own use.

I also have a list of blog topics lined up (10 at
the moment), so production for the next week
or so will not be a problem.

Since I started thinking of blogging everyday,
I began to pay more attention to what I read,
observed, viewed and heard. Because my senses
are now attuned to looking for "bloggable/postable"
material, I now have a mindset that serves my
posting target (the value of focused achievement).

I now take notes of information I access and use
these notes as catalysts for blog posts.

Best of all my posts are now generating an endless
source of article ideas for me - a major spin-off.

The real hurdle I had to overcome was my
perfectionist streak that had me trying to write a
landmark article with every post. Once I learned to
cut the cloth (the size and complexity of the post)
to match the time available on a given day, I was
able to see my goal as achievable and make great
strides towards daily posting.

So in taking the time and focusing on achieving
this goal of daily posting, I have actually saved
myself time and improved my overall productivity.

Who do you blog for?

The experts tell us that we should blog with a single person
in mind. This means using words such as "you" and "your",
not "them" and "they".

It can really help you to write if you treat your blogging
as a conversation - a bit less formal writing than an article.

The secret to writing is clearly to keep the audience in mind
as you write - this is often difficult given the diversity of
levels of experience and knowledge of your readers.

I have to own up that I also blog for my own benefit.
In part, this is to get my head around some concepts
or to record some important information I want to
access later.

Invariably, I find that I have to put something into
practice after I make a post - some aspect that I have
forgotten about or overlooked. The blog post can
be a salutary reminder for me.

This just reinforces the fact that blogging has multiple
benefits for the author as well as the reader.
