How to Get Rid of Blogging Boredom

Have you ever felt nowadays blogging seems like a chore for you? Writing a new post feels like trying to solve difficult math homework, there's just no sense of excitement there anymore. We've all been there, so you're not alone. I can call myself a newbie (book) blogger. I started this blog a year ago, and yes, blogging could be a very demanding task. Fear not, my friends because there are some things you can do to get rid of the boredom. They are actually quite simple too. Here are some activities that I find helpful to improve my blogging mood.

Get your motivation back

This may sound funny because when you are bored, it's very unlikely for one to have a motivation after all. Well, think about why you start blogging in the first place, like it or not it's the thing that was strong enough to to make you write that very first post. Is it because you have some thoughts you like to share with your readers or maybe you want to have more friends in blogging community? Whatever it is, it's good to remind yourself about it in order to get your motivation back.

Take time to evaluate your blogging development

There's a reason why I personally do not correct my blog post (except for typos). My first few blog posts are quite short actually. When I read them now, I find them kind of funny. I mean, I ask myself "how on Earth I have the confident to publish these contents?". As I continue writing, I finally be able to write more in depth and detailed content. Now, take a look at yours! I am sure you will notice some development in your writings too! Are you happy with your good job? Well knowing about that may bring back your spirit to continue blogging.

It's okay to look at the stats

We all know what many advanced blogger discourage this action. I like to look at my stats and compare them month by month. When I see my visitor number spikes up, I am contented and this, ladies and gentlemen is the most powerful thing that keeps me blogging. Being read is indeed one of the best thing in the world, at least for bloggers.

It is also okay to write some off topic post (sometimes)

Read other blog from other niche may help you find some inspiration. Sometimes being too strict on the topic could be the source of boredom. Don't do this too much, though because your readers will question your ability to focus. A blog about random topic is not an interesting blog.

If everything fails...

Then maybe it's time for you to get a blogging vacation. Your mind can be tired (even when you blog for fun) so take your time to relax. Don't worry about your readers leaving you. When you are ready to blog again, just tell them that you are back for business.

Now, let's talk about you. Does blogging boredom strike you often? How do you get rid of it?
