Mental Preparations for the Impending Future
I was checking recent tweets over at Twitter when I came across this post by Trula:
working on blogs: setting topics for rest of nov and will write rest of this week’s tonight
I tweeted back my interest in her method she replied:
@WillBrown: I find writing posts in advance helpful & timesaving. it’s a tip @problogger had on his blog a while back
Small world. I’ve been subscribed to Darren Rowse’s Problogger blog for some time now, but due to the extraordinary amount of feeds I’m subscribed to, I haven’t read it recently. I now follow him on Twitter.
Darren’s, and Trula’s, idea of planning out blog posts weeks in advance has never crossed my mind. I think it is because blogging, to me, has always been so now and immediate. You’re supposed to write about things going on in the here and now. Not something you thought about three weeks prior.
Thinking about it now, it does make sense. Not every topic has to be timely. A good topic can be topical even though you may have thought about it weeks prior.
Thanks, Trula!
Oh…follow me on Twitter.
