I was just thinking about this today and not sure why I chose to write about this considering my blog is only a few weeks old, but I figured that if I’ve hit momentum, maybe there’s a blog post on all the things that have caused me to hit momentum that I need to write. So here it is a list of a few random things that I think enable you to be really prolific personal development blogger
1. Write every day: I just want to be clear that I didn’t say post everyday. I realized that the simple act of doing even a little bit of writing will make you more prolific. Don’t even worry about what to write. Just sit down and write whatever comes to your mind.
2. Look at your comments on your blog: I actually was inspired to write this post because Evelyn from AttractionMindmap commented on my momentum post. I’m sure on some level even subconsciously, I’ve probably utilized the comments on my blog to write some of my other posts.
3. Listen to music: For me music is one of the most powerful forces in the world. So much of it, probably all of it is inspired by people’s life experiences. It’s telling a story. Listen for the lessons and you have yet another blog topic 
.
4. Look at the world around you: Throughout your day there are ongoing metaphors for life in general. Whether you are stuck in traffic, there’s not a cloud in the sky, or you live in a city of utter chaos, there’s a metaphor for life that might just be your next idea for a blog post.
5. Read your old posts: We’ve always heard that saying, “the answer is right in front of you.” Well, if you read over what you write, sometimes you’ll find that there’s more to say on that subject or subject within the subject. Personal development is like an onion, layers and layers to get through.
6. Mindmaps are something I love for everything and I’ll write another post on that sometime this week. But if you mindmap your topics it’s like a brainstorm that allows you to use your limitless power of imagination.
7. Keep a notepad/record of all topic ideas in a book. Note them down throughout your day on some sort of text document. Whenever you dont’ have ideas, you’ll have another place with a few hundred. I think I wrote about this topic in my post 7 Simple Traffic Tips for Beginning bloggers.
8. Read books: I’ve found that no matter what books you read, whether they are personal development books or novels, you can easily extract one sentence and write a full blog post about that sentence. As I was reading Blaine Lee’s Book, The Power Principle, I came across the lines “Stop digging up the seeds“, which was one of my initial blog posts.
9. Listen to tape programs: I think if you are a personal development blogger you are probably without a doubt listening to some tape program most of the time. One great thing that writing about that stuff does is enable you to share your newfound knowledge with other personal development bloggers and your readers.
10. Read other blogs: Chances are that if I read your blog, I definitely was inspired by something I read on your blog when I came up with a topic for my blog.
