As a business leader, you have a million things 
to do every day. You're balancing payroll, helping customers, negotiating with vendors, and, every now and then, you get to have lunch, too. There's a lot going on in your day, and your to-do list is often a lot longer than a typical shift could ever accommodate. When things get busy, marketing is often one of the first things to fall by the wayside, but quality content is what will help keep your business in front of your customers.
So, how do you fit words into your schedule while still keeping up with your other daily work chores?
The secret is in the way you procure productivity.
- Taper Down Your Tabs. Sure, it feels like the entire world will go rushing by if you're not constantly paying attention to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram, but the truth of the matter is you need to let the globe keep spinning in order to concentrate properly.
Close all of your browser's tabs that aren't directly related to your research or writing, and do not open them again until you've hit a stopping point. No shopping. No socializing. No meme-finding. The faster you eliminate the distractions, the faster your words will flow.
- Excommunicate Your Phone.Most blog posts shouldn't take more than thirty to ninety minutes to write, particularly if you're already talking about a subject you know a lot about. You can live without texts, calls, and social media notifications for an hour or so, so leave your phone in another room in the name of avoiding temptation.
Although you may have a hard time concentrating without your phone in front of you in the beginning, it's important to keep the idea of efficiency in mind. The sooner you're able to disconnect from your distractions, the faster your content creation will become.
- Eliminate Email.Any emails you receive in the next hour can wait. Eliminate email from the equation immediately, and keep it closed down until you're satisfied with your blog.
If you have information in your email that's necessary for your piece, copy and paste it into a Word doc as part of your work prep. Once you've collected all of the necessary information, close your email, and get to work. All of your emails will still be there waiting for you when you're done posting your piece.
- Task Between Titles.If you have several blogs to write, record your to-do list before you start. After you finish a blog, complete one non-writing task from your list. Write another blog, do another task. In this way, you won't feel bogged down by your words, and you'll still accomplish things around the office that need to be taken care of, too.
- Schedule Breaks.Set a timer, and work until it buzzes. Taking scheduled breaks can help your creativity flow and break up blank spots in your brain.
