The next installment for blog organization this month is organizing your ideas. Has this ever happened to you? Itโs 3AM and youโre in the middle of getting some good sleep. Suddenly you wake up and have an awesome idea for a blog post. You have no paper or pen next to the bed and you donโt want to save the idea to your phone because it will just get lost in the shuffle of your other notes. You end up falling back asleep but never wrote the idea down, then the next day when you try to remember it...no such luck.

Itโs not enough to just jot it down on paper (papers get lost with the other papers of ideas that youโve already written and have scattered around the house), you need to keep your thoughts organized in the quickest way possible.

Days go by. Weeks go by. Months go by. Youโve been publishing blog posts this whole time, but your drafts continue to pile up. Now when you look in your blog backend, you have so many drafts that you just get overwhelmed thinking of what you are going to do with them! Iโve totally been there. I probably still have drafts sitting in my old blogging account right now that are halfway complete. The thing is, the content in your drafts may be awesome and could be helpful to someone...you just have to get it out there! Today I will be discussing 10 ways to repurpose your blog drafts so that you can clean up the backend of your blog.
