For the first couple of days this week, I’ll be heading into the office across the Bay, as we’ll be rolling out a new platform that should (hopefully) make our work just that little bit easier. I’m not exactly holding my breath, but we shall see. And next week (the first week of October) we’ll be on the other side of the country visiting friends and family.
Which means that my writing schedule is going to be all kinds of wonky.
BUT FEAR NOT! Because this time out I’m attempting something new and unexpected: I’m doing a bit of shuffling to prepare for this time when I’m afk. One thing I’ve been doing is creating a backlog of blog entries so I won’t be posting fly-bys or skipping it altogether. I’d like to keep y’all educated and entertained.
Anyway! My point here is that lately I’ve been looking into how I can get more out of my writing time. One of my worst habits when I was a teenager was doing my homework the night before it was due. [And yes, this included writing term papers. I was an epic procrastinator.] The downside was that I knew I was a good writer, I just never let myself have enough time for it. I’ve learned to get better at that in my adult years, but there are still moments when I feel like I’m squeezing out the last drops of creativity at the end of the day after doing a billion other things.
This is where the backlog come in. I can get away with it because I’m not going out of my way to write blog posts that are up-to-the-minute. So instead of writing the posts the night before like I’ve been doing, I’ll write them when I have a few spare minutes during the day, and especially when the inspiration hits. And on top of all that, I can look at the calendar and see that a blog entry is due, and breathe easy knowing that it’s already been done.
Whatever works, right?
