As I’ve mentioned before, I try to write my blog posts the month prior, and, for the most part, I’m successful. I allow room for occasional breaking news, but staying ahead helps keep me out of a perpetual deadline panic.
This month, however, I’ve procrastinated even coming up
with the topics for this month’s posts, much less writing anything. Yes, procrastinated even for me.
I keep a small notepad on my desk at home, and when I get
an idea for a post, I jot it down. I
went to this method once I figured out my memory – I’m sure I’ll remember that
topic – wasn’t as good as I wished it was.
Most of the time, ideas will just come to me, and writing it down is
easy. Sometimes, though, I have to make
a more concerted effort to find topics.
That was the case this month…except that I didn’t make that concerted
effort, so I found myself mid-month with exactly one topic written down and no
posts complete. It forced my hand, so I
sat down and gave several minutes of deliberate thought to topics, which is something
I almost never do.
On the plus side, whining about not having enough topics
provided a pretty good topic. I’ll try
to do better over Christmas…
