Keith of To-Done has an interesting list of how to be more productive as a blogger. I take a lot of these tips to heart, as I’ve found switching over to pro blogger mode has been chaotic at times. The article has been around for about a month now, but I got a little behind in some of my folders. That said, it is a great article so I kept it around for when I had more time to read it all. So, after reading through the whole list, I think the synthesis of tips I’d like to share are:

- write quickly

- have a set time to write every day

- write down all your ideas in a separate book. They are good “fodder,” as I like to say

- write when the passion hits - sometimes outside of your set time you just get bombarded with ideas. Take advantage of it!

- schedule “off” time. Daily. And take time out for a day or two here and there.

- look for new things to read about. More sites, new books.

- relax. be you. let your ideas flow out.

- IM or chat with other bloggers for creative zest

- look for new topics, familiar or not

I think this topic is very much akin to a recent podcast between Tris & myself on having a blogging voice. A lot of people struggle to find their voice, and this can slow things up a bit. Some of the same ideas that help you be productive can also help you establish your online presence.
