This is a great point. I never realized just how unstressed I was until I had three or four weeks of blog posts written before hand. Now, if a great timely topic comes along, I just change the scheduled posting dates right in WordPress. It is a great weight off my shoulders!

That is also a good recommendation for some bloggers. I think having a sense of time and figuring out realistic expectations around this is a great exercise.

One recommendation for new bloggers is to think about how many times a month you'll plan to post, and then write that many articles before publishing any of them. It provides a sense of the time it takes and a check on whether it's a realistic publishing frequency. But just as importantly, it provides a month's cushion of material for times when you can't get something written.

I very much agree with you, Kristen. It's very good you write about this topic. I do this most often, and I highly recommend it. And so is this article you wrote.

Godspeed!
