Hey hey, First name / friend!

 

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably noticed that I was OOO the majority of this week. 

 

I was in the big apple with my sis for her birthday trip. 🍎🗽

 

Birthday trips are a tradition of ours because we both love traveling to fun places and creating extensive itineraries to cover a LOT of ground in only a short amount of time.

 

Down time? Never heard of her. It’s just how we roll and I absolutely love it!

 

Every time we get back from a trip and tell people about all of the things we did, they always ask the question: “HOW did you guys do all of that?!”

 

 

The planning process for a sis trip is no joke. We both do our research (aka scroll TikTok) and send each other our list of MUST do’s.

 

(The only MUST on my list for NYC was coffee at Ralph’s 😂☕️)

 

After that, we’ll create a shared interactive map to mark all of the places we want to go and things we want to see so we can make sure we plan our days efficiently.

 

Then, we’ll create a shared note with a detailed itinerary of reservation times and addresses so that we waste no time when we’re there.

 

To you, this might not sound like a vacation at all. But to us, it’s our best life!

 

We have an absolute blast, but I’m not so sure I could say that it would be the same if we didn’t take the time to plan well. 

 

Every minute counts when you’re on a sis trip and having to decide where you’re going to eat, what time you should go so you can still make the show, how far away it is from the hotel and when you need to call the Lyft is exhausting. And it sucks the fun out of it, honestly. 

 

 

And that doesn’t *just* apply to vacationing, either. 

 

I’m a planner girlie through and through for everythingggg (I’ll admit, sometimes it gets out of hand), but if there’s two things my planning personality comes in handy for it’s:

I’m sure there’s more, but today I just wanna talk about those two.

As a blog writer, I write a LOT each week for myself and for my clients and the writing wouldn’t come as easily if I didn’t have a plan for it. 

 

Here’s why: it’s almost impossible to sit down in front of your computer and randomly decide what you’re going to write about on a whim.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, you read that correctly. One whole quarter!

 

I know that might sound like a lot when you read that, but in reality it’s not that much to plan for depending on your blog publishing schedule. 

 

Most of my clients (and myself) publish new blogs once a week. This means that we only need 12 topics (maybe 13 or 14 if the weeks fall weird) for an entire quarter. 

 

 

And in the grand scheme of things, that’s not that many!

 

 

 

For your blog content, the plan may change slightly as you go, but the point is to get you OUT of idea and thinking mode and into ACTION. 🎬

That’s it - that’s the tip. Just kidding… sort of!

 

If writing (or really content creation in general) ever feels hard for you, there's a chance it’s because you don’t have a plan in place to help you think creatively. 

 

By planning mine and my client’s blog content topics 3 months in advance, I’m allowing my brain to get out of forced thinking mode and move into creative thinking mode. 

 

When you know what content topics you have coming up, you will subconsciously start to think about them while you’re doing mundane daily things – like washing dishes, taking a shower or on your afternoon walk. 

 

And that’s when some of your best ideas get sparked. ⚡️

 

Then, when it’s time to write you’ll likely have a much more creative flow of words instead of being met with a blinking cursor because you don’t know what to write about.

 

If someone forwarded you this email, it's time we officially meet 👋🏼 I'm Natalie (but everyone calls me Natty) and I'm a Blog Writer for Business Owners!

 

I send a Note From Natty just like this one every Friday morning – it's like our standing Friday morning coffee date inbox style, where you'll receive a weekly digest full of stories, writing tips and a round up of the latest at Natty Writes!

With this option, I'll conduct a content audit of your existing content to create 4 blog post outlines and 4 fresh blog topic ideas so you have up to 2 months worth of blog content to get started with right away!

 

 

3. Quarterly Blog Content Planning - 1 hour of planning could save you 10 hours of doing, which is why I personally plan my client's and my own blog content one quarter at a time and want to help YOU do the same!

 

With this option, we will define your blog content pillars, clarify the goals for your blog and create a quarterly blog plan (up to 12 topics) that are specific to you and your business.
