HIYAA and welcome to a new post where today I will be rounding up Blogtober, sharing some tips on daily blogging along side a full time job or just blogging in general with other responsibilities and my plans for my blog now it’s over. Let’s start off with some of the tips that I think will help you out when juggling blogging with a busy life.
-
Plan as much of the month in advance.
Planning is key to juggling all your responsibilities in a calmer and less stressful way. I have way to many planners all for different things including post ideas, to do lists, my blogging schedule and daily life and they are such life savers. If you don’t already use a planner, even if you blog once in a blue moon, I urge you to get one (even a cheap one from the pound shop because they can be expensive) it will help you out so much.

Try and have a few posts written before the 1st of the month.
I try to have at least the first few days, if not the first week, done, scheduled and ready to go before the start of the month because if I start behind, or even just on time, then I know I’m going to get behind quickly. I also try and have a post or two waiting that can take the place of another one should I run behind at some point.
Because I don’t really get much time in the evenings, I try and use my lunch breaks and any spare time possible to focus on writing. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t use every waking hour blogging normally but throughout Blogtober and Blogmas etc. I really like to and I get so into it that I don’t actually mind it. Especially when I’m feeling really motivated and have lots of ideas.

Don’t let it become a chore.
I have found it much easier to get a post out everyday because I’ve been enjoying writing, taking the photos, editing the photo’s etc. Meaning that it hasn’t felt like something I’ve had to do. I have had moments where I’d be at work or it would be getting late and all I would want to do is go to chill out or go to bed, but I’ve still had a post to finish and some days I just left it because I was so tired and needed sometime to myself. But, some of those days I grabbed my laptop and got writing. My point is some days it’s going to be more of a struggle than others, but if you’re enjoying uploading and writing about the topics you love, then you’ll want to keep up with it regardless, but if it’s too much then you can miss a day and just catch up by uploading 2 the next day, if they’re done in time. I feel like that was such a long winded way of saying what I wanted to, but you get the get gist haha.
Although this month has been stressful, to say the least but I think I kept on top of it quite well. But it has been so rewarding and I’ve loved uploading everyday. I’ve decided that I’m going to attempt to do Blogcember to, which is basically uploading the full 31 days of December ahh. Thank you so much for all the love you have shown my posts throughout this month and I really hope you have enjoyed reading them. Happy Halloween guys, stay safe, have fun and I’ll see you soon with a new post.
