How I Make Time for My Blog While Working Full-Time

The ability to decompress my thoughts and creative ideas is the reason why blogging is important to me despite my busy schedule. I'm really a introvert so being able to talk to my reader is my way of being a extrovert. The vision I have for my blog is very BIG. I know I can exceed my expectations and others will enjoy the content as well, In the future I want to work with brands such as The Crayon Case, Fenty Beauty, and Forvrmood just to name a few. Like sky is the limit and I will reach that goal. When roomies visit my blog I want them to feel comfort and inspire on the content I post.

My typical morning is waking up around 5:30am to be at work at 7:30am. I have about a thirty minute drive so I try to gather my thoughts before pulling in the parking lot. My current employment is in the education field teaching at a high school where I teach English. Once I am off work I decompress a bit which I tend to read a book. If you are a book girlie follow me on Good reads to check out my book recommendations. Throughout the day I am creating in my head on what type of content I want to post whether its my blog or Instagram. My brain is also in creative mode. I'm learning that most of my ideas come when I am in the car driving so I hurry and put it in my notes on my phone or I'll forget lol.

I am a organized person so I usually use my calendar on my phone or iPad to help me set reminders on the days I want to post content. I like to use a planner as well both physically and digitally. Walmart usually have good planners and I get a digital planner from Etsy so I can send to my phone as well. If its cute and aesthetically pleasing then I'll pay attention so I really like having a digital planner on my iPad. I manage the tasks of writing blog posts, taking photos/videos by writing a weekly schedule so I can see it visually. This help me saves time and not stress about not knowing what to do.

I don’t try to do everything at once because this will make me feel overwhelmed. So I decided to post three times a week posting schedule which works for me right now due to my full time job. The days are Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's which I have a new podcast audio episode that drops biweekly. A problem I been having for awhile now is being consistent. I am training my mind that consistency matters more than perfection. It doesn't matter if I receive five views or no views I am still posting. I'm telling myself to lock in like Rome wasn't build a day, get it together girl.

At the end of the day .... the day has to end, so girl start small AND take those baby steps. Even the little things will pay off if you are consistent. Let's be consistent together. Give yourself grace and remember YOU GOT THIS!
