I think I’ve mentioned previously that I try to write all of my posts about a month in advance so I don’t run up against the month and end up posting shit just to get stuff out. Of course I allow exceptions in case breaking news comes up, but writing the posts a month out takes stress off of my shoulders.
However, that means little if the posts I write don’t get
scheduled. I ran into that bit of drama
last month when I had all of my posts done before the end of the first
week. I exhaled, sat back…and did
nothing during the rest of December.
Then, lo and behold, I came up to the last week(in between Christmas and
New Year’s), only to remember I hadn’t actually scheduled the posts to show up
on my site.
Scheduling posts takes me about half an hour to get the
month’s posts finished. I do a final
proofread, pick the date and time(am I grouping by like topic, etc), and I add
any hyperlinks that may enhance the post, so it’s not a fire and forget type of
job. And while not long to do, it does
require setting aside time for the effort, and if I forget, then the posts
don’t go up on schedule.
The lesson here?
Posting isn’t done until it’s scheduled/posted. It doesn’t matter if I’m ahead if I don’t
make it so the audience can see them.
Gotta remember that. :-P
