Discussion on: How far in advance do you plan your blog posts?

I have A.D.D and am extremely impulsive. Because of this I don't plan my blog at all. I'm not very consistent with it either, but I also don't put any pressure on myself to publish posts on a recurring schedule because my blog really is just for me.

However, I would like to become more consistent with posting because I need attack my impulsivity and re-train my brain into working more on a schedule and being more goal oriented.

I will say, just like Stephanie Morillo stated above, I do keep a Trello board with post ideas that come to me (well just ideas in general) that I can pull from if I want. I tend to just write up a post about something I'm learning in the moment though.

I try to build some consistency, and am also trying to build a buffer of posts so I can generate ideas, but work on other things rather than spending all my free time one week writing blog posts.

I'm currently trying to get enough posts to keep my blog going until September so I can work on other things, but some of those posts require quite a bit of time to be invested. It's a double-edged sword really.
