I would sit down at my computer with no idea what I was about to blog about on any given day and would just start writing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile this style of blogging was fun and worked well in the early days &#8211; I found that it had some &#8216;costs&#8217; associated with it:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sporadic Posting Frequency <\/strong>&#8211; some days when I sat down to write &#8211; nothing came. On these days I would quite often not post anything.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post Quality Varied<\/strong> &#8211; on days when I was on fire I could pump out a great quality post &#8211; while on other days when I was struggling I would often feel the pressure to post something &#8211; so would end up posting rubbishy posts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Productivity Decreased <\/strong>&#8211; posting this way meant that I was spending more time blogging for less results. It took me away from other activities that I wanted to spend time on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of Momentum<\/strong> &#8211; from day to day posts were not really relating to each other. I found readers complaining that I was all over the place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nAfter blogging in this impulsive style for quite some time I realized that I needed to make a number of changes. One of these changes was to spend more time planning the coming week of blogging.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt actually happened quite by accident and through frustrating circumstances.
