About this template
Most personal blogs stop after a few posts. There was no set day to write and no set day to publish, so both slid.
The project keeps a running ideas list, a weekly writing session, a publishing checklist and a light look back each quarter.
Tips from the template
- Add every idea to the ideas section the moment you have it.
- Choose next week's post from the list on Sunday.
- Publish on the same day each week or fortnight.
