"I don't want to write..." Motivation is at rock bottom. What should I do!?
Keyword selection
Top-ranking content research
Creating headings
Writing the body text
Creating images
WordPress submission
...After going through this series of tasks and finally managing to publish a blog post, no sooner have you taken a breath of relief than a new problem emerges.
Ugh, what should I do for the next blog post...
Yes, a blog doesn't end with just one post; it's meaningless unless you continue to update it.
So, even if you're curious about whether your published article will "climb the search rankings?" or "get more traffic?," you have to think about what to write for the next post right away.
I know that... I know, but I've only just published an article that took me days to write, and now I have to think about the next new article? Honestly, it's a drag...
Here is the method I devised to somehow flip my motivation switch when I'm moping around, thinking, "I hate it, I don't want to write a blog post (sob)."
Forcibly corner yourself into a situation where you have no choice but to complete an entire blog post.
Specifically, I finish everything from "keyword selection" to "top-ranking content research" to "creating headings" all at once, and then I spur myself on by saying,"Since I've done all this prep work, I have no choice but to write it!!" and egg myself on.
The important thing is not to stop at just "keyword selection" and "top-ranking content research."
If you only thoroughly research rival articles that are ranking high and grasp the current situation by thinking, "Oh, I see, so this is how they're writing it," the motivation will likely stop at "Maybe I'll try writing it," and you'll likely quit halfway through.
By breaking it down into a visible form of "table of contents, headings, and outline" after the research, the strength of your motivation levels up to "I've come this far, I have to write it!," and you'll manage to finish the article one way or another.
Furthermore, if you still don't feel motivated to write the article even after creating the table of contents, it's even more effective to proceed directly to "writing the body text" and force yourself to finish by writing the first chapter.
"I've already written part of the body, so how can I not finish it to the end!!" You can give yourself a strong pep talk.
Whether it's a report or a document, when you're in a situation where you have to write something,
"Sigh... I hate writing..."
If you're feeling negative, try intentionally writing part of the body text and leaving it in an unfinished state to induce a sense of unease, and corner yourself into thinking, "I won't be satisfied until I finish it to the end!"
The effect is surprisingly huge!
