Between baking sugar cookies for my kid's kindergarten class, slapping together tonight's dinner (tuna sandwiches) and finishing off a client's bio, I blog.
Honestly, right now I'd rather be flaked out on the couch like that guy in the photo above.
But I'm blogging because I said I would.
It was one of the last things I talked about in my session on fitness blogging at the Can-Fit-Pro conference in Vancouver.
I said something like, hey, let's all sign up for a blog or post to our existing ones THIS WEEK! It'll help set the stage for a lifetime of happy, healthy fitness blogging.
So here I am. And, yes, this post does have a point.
My "let's all blog!" declaration reminded me how much it helps productivity to have someone relying on you for something specific. That's how I get my fitness articles written - I've got editors expecting them from me by a certain date.
If you're really stuck at the point of perpetually intending to blog without ever doing it, try this: Tell your most valued fitness clients that you're about to blog on X topic and you'd love their opinions on whatever you write about.
There. Now you have a reason to blog.
A deadline.
And a pre-established audience.
That should whip you into blogging shape.
Point made. Can I go lie around now?
P.S. Kudos to Mia Sutherland and Josh Neumann (both in my Can-Fit-Pro fitness blogging session) for following through so fast on that "blog this week" pact. Inspiring! If you blogged in the past week, let me know with a comment here and I'll comment back on your blog.
