15 EASY Blogging Tips That Will Save You Time (+ FREE CHECKLIST!)

Running a blog is tough work. If you’re a blogger, you know how difficult it is to juggle all the tasks you have to do with, er, LIFE, and in many cases another full time job! (I say another because we all know that blogging is your part-time job considering how much effort is requires.)

Things get hectic. You get exhausted. You feel defeated. You throw pasta at walls. Ok, maybe not that last part…maybe sometimes.

I get motivated when I cross something off my list, so having an easy blogging tips list is a lifesaver. It’s especially motivating when that one thing I cross off on the list is super helpful and creates a big impact. I know that these gems don’t come by often, but I happily compiled a few things that you can use when you’re feeling unmotivated to do a 4-hour photo edit sesh.

This past weekend was particularly tough for me to get motivated. I was trying to balance running a household, cleaning said house, tackling several landscaping projects, and staining the deck (can you tell we bought a fixer-upper?). Remember when I told you I break up my workday with mundane tasks? Well, it seemed like I had to break up the mundane tasks with work this time around.

I REALLY needed an easy blogging tips list since I could basically just sit down and focus on something from start to finish in 10 minutes. Then, it’s back to painting my planter boxes and figuring out how many more bottles of pool treatment I need to dump in the water in order to get it clear.

So, that’s how we wound up here. 🙃 These 15 ten minute blogging tips will allow you to make big improvements. Let’s shut me up and get to it.
