5 Tips to Save your Precious Time when Writing a Post

Are you wasting lot of your time in writing post for your blog? Don’t you get angry or tired just writing a post throughout the day for your blog and doing nothing important for your blog?

The Time of a blogger is very precious. A blogger need to learn how time can be saved while writing post which then can be utilized in other blogging work for a successful blogging.

Sands of TimeHere are 5 tips (with some tools in between) that has enabled me to save time when writing new posts and then use that time in other kind of works like to promote my blog and make money online.

Think before you open the browser

There is seriously no use of opening the blank “Add Post” page and then thinking about what to write. Don’t you agree? Take your time, think about a topic while you take a bath(lol), eat, watch TV or listen to music etc. so that you should have structured your post in that time and therefore you will take less time to write it down.

Same applies while writing the post, you suddenly get lost and don’t get any idea to write on. At that time, Save the written part as as Draft; Switch Off the Monitor or PC(to save electricity); Stand Up against the keyboard and relax doing something else. And you will definitely see some ideas striking in your head again.

Make your Web Browser, The Best Friend

Your browser can act as a very important tool which could help you save time while writing blog post. I know most of you will be using FireFox browser, so I am recommending two very useful FireFox add-ons which will make it more productive —

ScribeFire: ScribeFire is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog. It allows you to create (and edit) posts, set (and create) categories and tags, and generally does most of what you’d want to do when creating a new blog post directly from within Firefox at the click of a button. By using it we won’t have time delays while writing any post.

CoLT: CoLT (Copy Link Text) is a tiny extension for Firefox which makes it easier than ever to copy a hyperlink’s associated text. It happens mostly that when we copy any hyperlinked text, the whole text color, size and other things gets copied. But this extension allows us to copy the linked text without annoying styles included, it is also have many useful configuration which you can try.

Remove Distractions and Save your time!

The bloggers tend to be multifunctional, as we read our emails, chat with people, listen to songs; all at the same time. I recommend you to close or at least minimize those things while writing the post so that our focus will be on one main task i.e writing an outstanding post.

Focus on the Main Subject

Suppose if the subject of post is “How to Remove Acne” then you must finish the post speaking on the same subject, the ideas that do not relate to this subject should be eliminated since they do not contribute to the subject in any way. If you don’t do it then you will finish mixing things and making people confuse about what you are really talking about. So, you must focus on the topic that encouraged you to write without leaving the branches.

Think about Ideas in your Free Time

It often happens that whenever we have time to write something on the blog our mind gets completely empty of ideas. To prevent this from happening, we should utilize the part of the time when we do nothing to think about ideas we would like to play with. A good example of dead or free time is when we travel in a bus or metro cab. I am not saying that we should always think of writing but the idea is to take a few minutes a day on this task and so when we come to the PC, we will have several themes to choose from and write on it.

To Summarize it, I would say that using creativity and usefulness of various tools, we can write at the right time without wasting a single minute. This way we will have a successful blog.

So What’s your opinion on this post? Do you think that Writing an article in time is very important for a blogger? Are you quick and good in writing articles or you take more time to write a article? I am waiting to know all that from you…

  1. Very resourceful post Shushant, especially for a person like me, I’ll have to write at least 5 posts in a week, promote them, surf the net, answer my e-mails and of course do my homework and go to school. Keep up with such posts dude.

  2. There are days that I can sit in front of a computer and rip out 10 posts in no time back to back than there are times I can sneeze and end up on Facebook for half the day.

    1. Yeah, I have seen many times that you publish so many posts a day. I wonder how you able to do it. How much time you are in front of your PC, daily?

  3. This is a great post. Like your ideas especially the one about the Firefox add ons. I did not know about those. Will have to give that a try. As usual a great blog. I really enjoy this one.

  5. Yo! A Very Good article but the summary of this article is to write good post without wasting time….then i would suggest use “windows Live writer” this is the best option for all ur points in the article…wat u think 🙂

      1. I also use “windows Live writer” nd it has all the facility which blogger needs to make the article good nd we can write it when we r free nd without coming online 🙂

  6. All valid points. I’m the type of guy when I have to think of an idea then it’s hard, when I don’t then I have many ideas come to me. That is why I have to keep a small black book with me.

    I agree about the distractions, the less the better. I do my best to focus on writing a post and then complete other tasks afterwards. It makes it easier to start and finish then 🙂

    1. Ya, it also happens with me. Many ideas comes into my mind when I am studying and I keep on dreaming at that time about it rather than focusing onto my studies.

      Whenever I start writing something, I close my messenger specially Yahoo Messenger because I have more than 1000+(can’t count more than that due to limitation) people added and keep getting buzz, messages etc from them. So I remove that distraction to concentrate on writing..

  7. Thanks for these tips. For me, normally, I spend around 30 minutes to 1 hour writing a post. I definitely agree with the last one, “Think about ideas in your free time”.

    Sometimes, ideas just pops out of our minds during the times when we least expect it. In my case, I capture these ideas by simply using making a bullet point in the notes function of my mobile phone so that when the time comes to write a post, I would just peek in to what I’ve written in the notes. That saves me a huge amount of time thinking.

    1. Oh, That’s a nice idea of noting down the ideas. Now will keep my mob. with me most of the time as I get many idea when I am away from my PC..

  8. I use Google image search to get more ideas about the post. Try search the targeted niche or keyword in Google image search and get unique ideas about writing from there.

  9. I used to write 3-5 blog posts in a week, and I spent most of my time reading others’ blog, leaving comment, facebook-ing, chit chatting with net friends and catch up with my client. Sometimes the idea doesn’t pop out from my mind and I need to sit down for 5 mins and get a topic to write, or I’ll hang around the internet and find out what is the latest popular news recently and I’ll make a quick post for that.
