Blogging Productivity for Coaches: Do Less, Write More

Blogging Productivity Tips

Joelene Mills

If you are anything like me, you’ve probably collected more “productivity hacks” than Disney mugs. You’ve tried batching, blocking, colour-coding, Pomodoro-ing, and work-with-me sessions. You’ve downloaded the planners, watched the tutorials, and maybe even bought that $97 “CEO Morning Routine” course.

And still—your to-do list mocks you.
Because what you have yet to figure out is, you are not struggling to get things done. You’re struggling to figure out what actually matters enough to get done.

Most “top coach productivity” advice is designed for people who are trying to do more.
But if you’re an introverted coach running a one-woman business, doing more isn’t the win—it’s the fastest route to burnout and blurry focus.

You don’t need another hack to squeeze more hours out of your day. None of us do.
You need habits and systems that make showing up to write, teach, and market your business easier and lighter.

Because blogging for your business isn’t about constant content output—it’s about consistent clarity. It’s your proof of work. The place where people start to get to know you, like you, and trust you enough to hire you.

So instead of five productivity “hacks,” let’s talk about five calm habits that will support your work as a coach who blogs.

Blog better, not louder.

My Blogging Productivity Habits

1. Rebuild your rituals.
Rituals don’t have to be rigid. You don’t need a morning routine worthy of a YouTube montage.
Simply make one small, repeatable move that signals “it’s writing time.”
Pour your coffee, open your draft, and don’t check email first. That’s enough.

2. Protect your calendar like it’s your energy (because it is).
You don’t have to block your day down to the minute—but do give your blog the same respect you give client calls.
Book a 90-minute “content session” in your calendar this week. Treat it as sacred.

3. Let go of the extra.
If you’ve got more half-finished templates than published posts, it’s not a content problem—it’s a clutter problem. Pick one thing that matters and drop the rest for now.

4. Rest on purpose.
Quiet doesn’t mean quitting. It means recharge.
Take a slow morning. Write offline. Let your brain breathe between client sessions and blog edits. That’s not lazy—that’s fuel.

5. Focus, gently.
Multitasking is a myth. I said what I said.
Close your tabs, pick one idea, start writing, and stick with it until it’s done.
You’ll get further than you ever do juggling half-written drafts and pretending it’s “productive.”

Try just one of these. Pick the one that feels easiest to start, and start.
