Time-Management Tips for Healthcare Bloggers

You are not playing at being a doctor on the internet, you are a doctor. You have patients to see, a practice to manage, research to catch up on and then of course there is a personal life and family to make room for. It can be difficult to squeeze in blog time, but it is important. An idle blog is a useless blog. Here are a few tips to help with your blog time-management and posting frequency.

  • Keep it brief. A blog is not a thesis. The medium was designed for quick easily digestible information. If you are posting 2-3 times per week your posts do not need to exceed 150-300 words. If you have a long topic break it up into sections. Leave them with a cliffhanger!
  • Writing a healthcare blog is rarely the hard part. Thinking about what to write is. Take notes. Keep a pen and paper by your side and anytime you are reading journals or doing online research jot down bullet point ideas. You can always flesh them out later.
  • Take advantage of outsourcing. There is an army of tech-writers out there. Get a qualified scribe to handle the heavy lifting so that all you have to do is approve and post.
