While writing this post for example I had 3 websites to complete – one for a client and two for a class – on top of that it was finals week. Some how I manage to press on anyway.

See, I’m a full time student that drives almost 3 hours round trip to and from college. I work 4 days a week at my fathers restaurant – which I hate doing – and I do some web development on the side. On top of that I manages multiple blogs.

I pull this off cause I run on a schedule - a very tight one – but a schedule nonetheless. I set aside time for everything, my calender is my best friend. How can you live your life and blog too?

Set aside a time for blogging

You have free time in your day to blog. Everyone does. For some it my be during a lunch break, for others it comes after the kids are tucked in and for people like me it’s usually that down time in between classes or during the weekends. I wrote this article between two classes. So use your time wisely and you too can do what I do.

Something I’ve just started doing is writing notes in my phone for posts so I never lose an idea, it’s been working pretty good.

Schedule your posts

If you haven’t already noticed this post was written in the past tense. I wrote it on December 9th and I scheduled it for December 16th. This really goes hand in hand with setting aside time to post but it’s diffrent in that you can get ahead by doing this.

Not only will scheduling posts save you if you end up losing your writing time, but it takes out a lot of the stress from blogging.

No more last minute posts for you!

Hire someone to help

I pay people to write articles on a few of my blogs – usually when I go on vacations. I need to keep fresh content up to satisfy my readers!

I know this really isn’t a great option for video bloggers, but if you can find someone good at it you can get away with it.

I know I’m not the only one that juggles a ton of stuff, so I ask you how do you keep up with your blog in a tight schedule.
