Tip For Better Blog Writing

June 24, 2008

Sometimes I find that I get my best work done at a coffee shop. In my case, I hit Panera Bread for the free coffee refills and the free wifi.

Sure, I’ve got a nice home office. I’ve got the big Mac Pro in the office with three nice monitors attached. I’ve got the super fast internet connection at home. I’ve got the LCD television should I want it.

Working from home, though, has its pros and cons. I love that I don’t have to drive so much. Gas prices obviously suck right now. I love that I can see my little girl during the day off and on. But, sometimes focus suffers at home. Even when I’m concentrating, I feel as if I have that extra umph when I grab the MacBook Pro and head out of the office to work.

So, my hot tip to other bloggers for today? From time to time, grab your laptop and head down to your local coffee shop (as long as they have wifi, of course). Dedicate some time to pumping out several good blog posts at once and you can queue them up in your blog for later. This form of batch processing along with the change of environment will probably help you get more done.
