This week, we’ve been talking about ways to be a more productive writer.

Although this podcast is called The Daily Writer, the reality is that many people don’t write every day. They may set aside time every couple of days or once a week to work on their writing.

This is totally legitimate. You shouldn’t take the concept of the “daily writer” too literally.

The main point is to write regularly, whatever that looks like for your schedule. The more regularly you do it, the better you will be.

There is some writing I do not do on a daily basis, but weekly. For example, I write material for this podcast once every week or two. I write a bunch of episodes’ worth of content at the same time because I’m in that mental mode, and it goes much quicker than if I were to try and set aside a few minutes every single day to write or record.

This is called “batching” your work and it’s a great productivity principle. Do similar kinds of work, or write similar kinds of content, at the same time because you’re in that mental space already.

You can do this with email, book content, podcasts, blogs, or anything else. Give this a try and see how it will improve your writing output.

All that said, however, I definitely want to encourage you to write something every day if you can… even if it’s just five minutes’ worth of writing.

Today’s Challenge: Take the concept of batching your work and apply it to some type of writing you are currently doing: emails, blog posts, podcast material, copywriting, or something else.
