In my first three years of blogging, I have gone through epic blogging lulls of laziness. I have abandoned my poor blog for far too long, too many times. Sometimes I’m busy. Sometimes I’m brainstorming. Sometimes I’m just lazy. Let’s be real.
As a lazy girl (who has come up with plenty of excuses), I would like to present a guide to blogging for all the lazy girls out there:
1. Brainstorm tons of ideas, but don’t write them down. It’s like a game. The “Will I remember that brilliant idea in half an hour?” game. Guess what? You will lose basically 99.999% of the time. But it’s fun to test your memory skills.

2. Watch YouTube videos for inspiration. Too many videos. Wait, it’s midnight? Aw man, I should go to bed. I’ll blog tomorrow.

By the way, here are some of my favorite blog channels to watch instead of blogging:
–Jenna Marbles (classic, of course)
3. Why not tweet at one of your favorite YouTubers? Spent too much time crafting a witty tweet. Become too happy when said YouTuber favorites said tweet, and follows you on Twitter.

4. Thinking about writing a blog post? Why not take a walk instead? It will not only help with brainstorming, but you will also forget all your ideas along your walk, and you’ll forget your plans to blog anyway.

5. Make yourself busy. Friends, work, school, and other activities are obviously time-consuming. Blogging is just something else to do. Don’t worry, you’ll get back to it. Eventually.

Basically my logic.
6. Spread the word that you’re making a comeback. Tweet it, Instagram it, Facebook it, tell your friends.

7. Now you have to stick to your word. No more procrastinating.

8. Drink coffee. Lots of coffee. Don’t like coffee? Yes you do. No, you do. You like coffee.

Coffee makes my life just a little brighter.
9. Write like you’ve never written before. You’ve got this. When in doubt, include more pictures. People like pictures.

10. Refer back to this list the next time you’re going through the cycle of laziness. You’re not alone. Trust me.

Rebecca,

Thank you so much. And congratulations! I’m glad to hear about your success. I’ll make sure to check out your newer blog posts.
Eagerly awaiting to welcome my dearest friend with open arms,open heart and lots of cheers!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds good. Can’t wait to read your recent blog posts. 🙂
Well, it seems (to this professor) that you do everything right. I like your vicious growling face lots, and hitting up baseball games is an excellent idea. Did you catch a baseball? Now, then, coffee…is yucketh.
Thank you! Glad you appreciate my growling-face picture. Unfortunately I didn’t catch a baseball. But summer is not over yet! There’s still time. 🙂 I understand, coffee is not for everyone.
Epic face, that is! I’m trying to capture one just like for myself right now. Now then, I’ve never grabbed a baseball at a game, can you imagine!
Thank you! Good luck. It can be a tricky face to replicate. Hence the epicness. 🙂 That would be so cool to catch a baseball at a game!
Love this! It reminds me so much of myself! I always put things off!
Thank you so much! I have a habit of putting things off sometimes, so I thought I’d blog about procrastinating on blogging.
That’s a very helpful list, Becky. Can boy use it to, or does it only apply to lazy girls? You’re very photogenic by the way. 🙂
It applies to all genders, don’t worry. Well thank you. 🙂
Good to hear. You are welcome. 🙂
🙂
Thank you for allowing males to use this list as well. I try to not proclaim my return because it seldom works out. By the way, the caption to your third selfie should be “No makeup? No need!”
Hahaha! I haven’t blogged in a month, maybe cos I’ve lost some of the motivation to blog. So this post is really timely, but I hate coffee though. Keep up with your posts! And I love your selfies too 🙂
Glad to hear you can relate! I think a lot of bloggers go through this. But it’s awesome when we come back to it with new motivation. 🙂
When is the lazy girl going to blog again???
Reblogged this on Dream Big, Dream Often and commented:
Here is a little inspiration for the “lazy” blogger!
Found you via dream big dream often. Some great pointers here and I for sure will be making use of some of them. Cheers!
All my greatest blogging ideas get washed down the drain. See, I come up with brilliant ideas while I’m out running. Lots of thinking goes on out there. But then I get home, take shower and there’s not a thought in my head. And I can never remember to write this stuff down before getting in the shower. I like the “just one more episode” tip, too. There’s always time for one more!
Definitely can relate. I have heaps of blogging ideas that never got posted because I have just plain forgot and did not write down what they were.
Hope you are doing well Rebecca. 🙂
Heck, I’m too busy reading other blogs. Like yours, by the way.
Don’t like coffee. Now chocolate, mmm…
This is probably the most entertaining blog post I’ve yet read 😀
