Choose a topic for your blog
What’s great about this method, is that the topic
options you’ll end up with will be “optimized” to
increase your chances of naturally getting into
the flow state when you blog about them.
Here’s what I suggest you do to help you come up
with truckloads of possible options…
Brainstorm a massive list, or mindmap where you
list all of the following things:
- Every topic that you know a lot of things about.
This could include your hobbies, your job, your
interests, your skills and your natural talents.
- Everything that you absolutely LOVE learning
about. List everything that you are naturally
attracted to.
- Everything that you are naturally good at. This
is where you can go nuts with all your natural
talents – the stuff that you find naturally easy
to do.
- Everything that you naturally enjoy doing.
Some of the topics you list using the above
guidelines may overlap a little, but don’t let
that worry you.
The point is that you come up with as many options
as possible, so that you can get a nice overview
of all the different topics that you could
possibly blog about. And then, when you’re done
with that, you can narrow down to your favorites.
I strongly suggest you use a mind map for this
exercise. Using a mind map will not only help your
ideas flow better, but it will also help you come
up with new topics WITHIN existing topics. And
just having everything in a mind map format will
also help you visualize all your different topics
so much better.
