Can You Write 10 Articles At Once?

Posted to Blogging

As I write this article I have already finished two other articles for this blog and I haven’t been blogging for 20 minutes yet. I’m heading overseas next week you see, so I want to have some articles cued up ready to go for while I’m traveling. In fact if you are reading this article you have already read two articles I wrote last week along with this one and you will probably read the next one later in the week - all of which I wrote in one session.

I won’t lie to you - I do enjoy writing and I can easily sit down and pump out 2000 words in a matter of hours. This may not be how you feel about writing, that’s okay, you don’t have to set the same goals as me or follow the same writing patterns.

Leverage Your High Energy Moments

The lesson I want to teach you is to take advantage of those times when the words flow from you easily. I generally find that I write best in small bursts of creativity or inspiration. It’s as if the ideas have to come out of me.

I bet you are probably the same.

There are clear times when writing is not difficult while at other times it’s painful or a chore and you just don’t want to do it. My advice, if you don’t feel like writing, don’t. I have a rule of never forcing myself to do anything I don’t want to do unless it’s necessary to help me meet a goal I really want to achieve.

What you need to do is focus on those times when you have a heaps of energy and your fingers are just dancing on the keyboard. When you feel that you are in the “zone”, leverage that time for all it’s worth and don’t just write one article, write several. Later in the week when you don’t feel like writing you can just publish one of the articles you have written earlier or if you have cued them up like I have with this article, you can sit back and let your blog publish itself.

It’s important to remember you are human so you need to consider your human needs first. That means food, water, shelter and all that - and also your emotions. When you are well aligned and your feeling happy and energetic make the most of this time, so when you are not feeling quite as good or productive you can let yourself do other things which will likely speed up your transition back to being happy since you don’t feel obligated to always “be your best”.
