Blogging Tips: How to Develop a Mompreneur Blogging Routine

In my previous video, I shared some tips about prioritizing life as a mompreneur and how crucial it is to set boundaries and focus on what truly matters. Today, I want to dive deeper into one aspect of mompreneurship that often feels like a juggling act: developing a consistent blogging routine. As mompreneurs, routines are the glue that holds our busy lives together, especially when you’re balancing motherhood, homeschooling, and running a business.

If you’ve ever struggled with finding the time or energy to blog consistently, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, too. But through trial and error, I’ve discovered strategies that help me stay consistent, creative, and productive. Let’s talk about how you can create a blogging routine that fits seamlessly into your life.

Understanding Routines

First, let’s talk about what routines really are and why they’re essential. Routines are more than just a series of tasks on a checklist—they’re intentional patterns designed to help you achieve your goals. As a mompreneur, your routine needs to work for you, not against you.

Goal Planning and Routines

Start by identifying your goals. Ask yourself, What do I want to achieve with my blog? Whether your goal is to grow your audience, generate income, or share your expertise, clarity is key. Once you know your “why,” it’s easier to design a routine that supports it.

Balancing Motherhood, Homeschooling, and Entrepreneurship

Balancing motherhood, homeschooling, and running a business can feel overwhelming. Trust me, I’ve had days where everything seemed to collide. But with a clear routine, you can create pockets of time for everything. It’s all about being intentional and realistic about what you can accomplish.

Outsourcing Tasks to Free Up Time

Let’s be honest: you can’t do it all. And that’s okay. One of the best decisions I’ve made is outsourcing tasks that aren’t in my zone of genius. Whether it’s hiring a virtual assistant, using meal delivery services, or having someone else edit your videos, outsourcing can free up valuable time for your blogging.

Developing a Blogging Routine

Now that we’ve covered the foundation, let’s dive into how to create a blogging routine that works.

Identifying the Best Time of Day for Blogging Tasks

For me, early mornings are golden. Before the house wakes up, I can focus on writing or brainstorming without interruptions. But maybe you’re a night owl or find pockets of time during your kids’ nap hours. Identify your most productive times and reserve them for blogging.

Time Management Techniques for Efficient Blogging

Efficiency is your best friend. I use time-blocking to map out my day. For example:

• 7:00–7:30 AM: Plan blog content.
• 7:30–8:30 AM: Write a draft.
• 8:30–9:00 AM: Edit and schedule.

Another great tool is the Pomodoro Technique—working in focused 25-minute intervals with short breaks. This keeps me energized and productive.

Batch Scheduling Blog Posts and Podcast Episodes

Batching is a game-changer. Instead of writing one blog post at a time, I set aside a day to draft several posts. The same goes for podcast episodes. Batching saves mental energy because you’re staying in one creative flow. For example, I might spend a whole afternoon writing blog posts for the next month.

Prioritizing Tasks and Setting Realistic Goals

It’s easy to get ambitious and plan to write five blog posts a week, but let’s be real—that’s not sustainable for most mompreneurs. Start small. Commit to one or two high-quality posts per week. Prioritize tasks that align with your goals and let go of the rest.

Overcoming Obstacles

No matter how great your routine is, life will throw curveballs. Here’s how to handle them:

Adapting to Life’s Unexpected Events

Flexibility is key. If a sick child or an unexpected event derails your routine, give yourself grace. Shift your schedule or simplify your tasks for the day. The important thing is to keep moving forward, even if it’s at a slower pace.

Maintaining Consistency Despite Challenges

Consistency doesn’t mean perfection. It means showing up regularly, even when it’s hard. If you miss a week, don’t give up—just pick back up where you left off. Create a content calendar to stay on track and hold yourself accountable.

Protecting Your Website and Online Presence

One obstacle many bloggers overlook is technical issues. Protect your hard work by backing up your website regularly and using secure passwords. It’s also a good idea to invest in website hosting that includes security features. Trust me, the peace of mind is worth it.

Integrating Work and Family

As mompreneurs, work and family are deeply intertwined. Instead of viewing them as separate, find ways to integrate them.

Balancing Work and Family Responsibilities

One thing I’ve learned is that balance doesn’t mean equal time—it means being present where you are. When I’m working, I focus on work. When I’m with my family, I put my phone down and give them my full attention. This intentionality has made a huge difference in both areas of my life.

Creating a Holistic Lifestyle

Your routine should reflect your values. For me, that means building a lifestyle where my family and my work complement each other. I involve my kids in some of my business tasks, like brainstorming content ideas, and they’ve learned so much about entrepreneurship along the way.

Sharing Personal Experiences and Tips

Over the years, I’ve learned that sharing my personal experiences not only builds trust with my audience but also helps me connect with other mompreneurs who face similar challenges. Don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through in your blog—it’s what makes your content unique.

Wrapping things up…

Developing a blogging routine as a mompreneur is a journey. It takes time, patience, and a willingness to adapt. But once you find a routine that works for you, it can be a game-changer for your business and your life.

I encourage you to start small and experiment until you find your rhythm. Remember, consistency is more important than perfection. And when you find what works, stick with it.
