How to Be a Productive Blogger During Tough Stretches

Being a productive bloggers seems extra challenging during rough, tough blogging patches.

Any blogger feels good if business is booming. Riding the high energizes you, stabilizes your vibe and preps you for greater business growth. But bloggers who encounter tough spots – aka all bloggers – need to dig a bit deeper mentally to remain productive because energy-sapping, momentum loss usually kills your productivity.

Follow these tips to remain productive during stressful business periods.

1: Get Enough Sleep

I am currently resting up to 10 or more hours daily to be productive despite maintaining a busy offline travel and house sitting schedule.

Although my offline schedule is far from difficult I do feel run down at times unless I get that much sleep. Feeling run down eats into my productivity. How can I publish up to 10 posts daily – between blogging and guest blogging – if I am tired, worn out, exhausted and pretty much leveled?

Get ample sleep to feel rested, recharged and prepared to dive into a productive, creative, effective blogging day. Do not burn the candle at both ends. Avoid falling prey to the common trend of working long and hard without sleeping much, an epidemic seemingly spreading throughout the world. Have you ever wondered why so few of these sleepless night type people struggle and fail? Few get enough sleep to think clearly, to act intelligently and to productively work their day.

2: Eat Nutritious Foods

Eat healthy grub to be a productive, prolific blogger.

How you decide to fuel your body-machine plays a key role in how you blog. Consume fruits and veggies, lean proteins like chicken, fish and beans and clean carbs like potatoes, oats and whole wheat bread to enjoy a healthy diet. Eat right to feel good during stressful times. Stress eating sweets and fatty foods provides temporary relief but leads to bad-feeling crashes as the sugar rush and fatty-food satiated feelings wear out, fast. The productivity crash follows the food-emotional crash.

Eat healthy, nutritious foods to feel energized, to stabilize your vibe and to feel good about your blogging campaign, even if you slam into some resistance.

3: Feel the Emotions Behind Business Stress

Fear robs people of their productivity because no blogger gets work done feeling weighed down by this heavy, destructive emotion, an absolute anchor to bloggers.

Business stress is fear. Feeling fear lets you release the stress. Release the stress to feel unburdened by your difficult business period. Create and connect productively because once you clear the emotions you also clear much heaviness which eats into your productivity.

I am writing this post after a fun but long blogging day. I would not claim myself to be going through a tough blogging time – quite the opposite – but I do feel a bit tired now, and a little worn out. Facing, feeling and releasing emotions fueling my tired, worn out feels removes the heavy weight, allowing me to write and publish this guest post.

Be with your fears. Feel pain. Remove production-sapping, heavy emotions to become productive, prolific and creative.

4: Double Down on Mindset Work

Boost your productivity during tough times by strengthening your mental muscles. Spend more time meditating to observe your mind as it really is.

I meditate for 30 or more minutes daily to be more aware of what I think and feel predominantly. Meditating helped me be productive during difficult times because I faced, felt and released fears during rough spots to keep creating and connecting, even if I seemed to slam into resistance at every turn.

Consider meditating, doing Kriya yoga, doing yin yoga or engaging in high energy, uplifting prayer to manage your energy effectively. Managing your energy effectively allows you to be prolific and a flat out networking machine during the most uncomfortable blogging moments.
