Does coming up with new content for your website keep falling to the bottom of your to-do list?

Even though I know I have the solution to my target client’s greatest problems and want to share the BEST blogs to help them… sometimes writer’s block just says otherwise.

And sometimes I just run out of time or don’t feel like writing… but that’s another story. 

I combat writer’s block by saving posts that inspire me and keeping a running list of working topics as they come into my thoughts.

Basically, I brain dump into a “blog” folder on my Google Drive.

And it works! 

Looking through my Google Drive of blog topic inspiration gives me the kick in the butt to start writing.

And when I really feel like going for the gold, I ORGANIZE my topics into a SPREADSHEET!

Yes, in my Google Drive 😉

So if you have a hefty “blog” file on your Drive, or if you just need help coming up with a few blog posts to share with your readers, this list is for YOU.
