I have a spreadsheet where I’ve brainstormed some blog post ideas. And I’ve put tentative dates on when I want to write those posts.
But when I go to write the post, I often don’t feel like writing about the topic scheduled for today.
It should be simple. I should write the next thing on the list.
But every day I ask: What am I going to write about?
I look at the list. Today’s topic?
Nah…
Sometimes a topic further down catches my eye. Or I think of something that happened that day and write about it. Or something completely random hits me.
My list currently has 152 things I could write about. And I add to the list every week.
Not all of them are good ideas. But there’s enough there that I shouldn’t struggle about what to write.
And yet, I ask myself the same question every day.
What am I going to write about?
