1. Set Writing Goals
If you’re a photography blogger and notice that you need to improve your writing skills, spend less time on Instagram and more time writing!
Set achievable goals like writing for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening or spend some time reading content on other photography blogs to get inspired.
2. You WILL have more than one draft
A great tip:
Just keep writing. Even if you’re not happy with what you’re producing, remind yourself that you will go back to fix it up later.
In the end, you’ll save time by reducing the chance of getting writers block.
3. Don't force yourself to write
Work around small intervals of writing (again, something like 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening).
If you’re feeling inspired, just keep going.
Otherwise, take a break or focus on another task.
At least this way you’re being productive!
4. Say yes to guests!
Guest bloggers are a great way to improve your blog, create more content and get more followers.
Let people know that you’re looking for posts by asking for contributions.
Other Useful Tips
1. Exercise
It has been proven that just a ten-minute workout in the morning can boost your productivity and ability to stay focused (not to mention boosting your metabolism, helping with sleep, and bettering your mood).
2. Meditate
Try it for just 5 minutes and you will feel a world of a difference.
Benefits of Meditation for Time Management:
· Improves concentration.
· Increases memory retention.
· Increases your cognitive and creative abilities.
· Allows for better decision-making and problem solving.
· Helps to manage ADHD.
3. Drink Tea
How is drinking tea related to time management? Well...
1. The act of making tea is a great, meditative break to take between tasks. While you’re waiting for your tea to steep, take the time to think about how your day is going.
2. Drinking tea is less of a shock to your nervous system than coffee. Feeling fewer jitters will help you stay focused for longer.
3. Besides helping you stay focused, tea has numerous health benefits.
