I am a planner by heart; if something isn't planned, I freak out, and that is never good. My youtube videos are planned out months in advance, and my blog posts are planned out for a full year in advance; yep, you heard that right in December of every year, I plan out a full year worth of blog content.
To plan out the blog posts, I use OneNote. On my OneNote, I have a folder titled blogs, and in that folder, I have three sections, one for each blog.
My endometriosis and writing blog just has a list of posts, while the section for this post actually has pages labelled with each month and two posts on that page. I also have a page full of future ideas to write into next years blog post ideas.
To find the blog post ideas, I typically come up with them throughout the year, ideas for me randomly spring into my head, and they don't just come on demand, the other way I get my ideas is by google search and looking at other peoples blog posts to get ideas, Pinterest, and posts full of blog post ideas.
I write all my blog posts the month before they go up, and I start writing them two months beforehand.
For example, this post was going up on the 26th of April 2020. I came up with the blog post idea in December 2019, and I started working on the post in February 2020. I started piling what needs to go into the post, key points I needed to remember, and for posts, I need to research the post. I will do it now. Then in March comes the writing it all up, using Grammarly to edit to make sure it makes sense, add the labels and description, and all that fun stuff.
It takes me around 20 hours total from idea to promoting to write a blog post, which seems like a lot for how little words a lot of my blog posts are but behind the scenes stuff is intense.
