Why is writing a blog post could be so challenging?... I would never think that I would spend hours trying to come up with a new idea for a blog post… I have spent a good chunk of my time trying to create something valuable that people would actually read. However, since I am writing these lines, I would say that I failed to achieve my goal. When I only started working on this week's blog post I decided to approach this task seriously. I have even done research on how to write a good blog post and what topics would be interesting to tackle. It did not help at all. The only thing that I got from that research was that there are apparently a lot of people who are truly interested in business-related blog posts since most of the suggestions for blog posts mostly covered that particular niche. This research was my first attempt to generate an idea for my post…
Hours passed, and I still did not have clue about what to write. Few minutes passed, and I realized that I had some stuff already prewritten and I decide to go through my old high school writing assignments which I have on my Google Drive. Well... It was a mistake. I wasted two and a half hours by scrolling through a huge list of folders, documents, presentations and so forth. I believe that most of that time I was simply nostalgic and completely forgot about my initial goal. When I realized how much time I spent looking through that mountain of “well organized” files, I had begun to become more desperate with every minute. I needed a break…
After spending approximately 30 minutes wandering around my room in my “mental asylum”, which is also referred to as a residence hall, I realized that I was simply overthinking everything. I thought to myself. I just needed to read through other blogs posts and then I would certainly pick up an idea. I was wrong once again (-_-). I literally repeated the same mistake that I did with my high school work. I started scrolling through all of the blog posts that my course mates have posted. Learning more about my course mates was very interesting and I am really glad that we are all taking this particular class. I also have to admit that “Marinara_sause” is indeed a great nickname.
The time I spent reading other blog posts was quite entertaining and a bit educating but it was not really helpful. So, I managed to waste another hour. That was the moment when I knew, I screwed up my planning once again. However, after thinking about all the time I have wasted, I decided to simply start writing about how challenging it could be to actually write a blog. To be honest I cannot believe that it actually worked out and I managed to come up with something.
To conclude, I need to make sure that I share something useful. If you would ever encounter the same issue I had, when there is nothing you can write about, you could just start writing/typing whatever comes to your mind. It might sound foolish at first but it seems like it works and this blog post is a good (or just an ok) example.
