5 Blogging Moments Where You Wish You Had Big Nuts

Look after your nuts

When squirrels hoard nuts in the summer, to eat in the winter, they don't do it because of procrastination. Or because of laziness. Or because they spent all their time on Twitter discussing how nutty their breakfast is. Squirrels store nuts for emergencies. For when its too cold to venture out. They need to remain in their nests in the winter to conserve body heat.

The squirrels won't eat from the stored nuts. They are for an emergency. Your stored posts are similar to those stored nuts. You need to cherish your nuts. Look after your nuts. Protect your nuts. Grab on to them. They're valuable.

Reasons To Store Blog Posts For Emergencies

1. Emergency - You should stock up on blog posts for an emergency when your readers are all expecting a post. But you weren't bothered to prepare one thanks to spending time on Facebook.
2. Block - When you store emergency blog posts, pretend they don't exist. But keep piling them up for a moment when you desperately need it. For when you urgently want it. A writer's block would be that moment.
3. Pressure - Backup posts takes the pressure off. You won't ever need to worry about missing a posting schedule again. Because you know you're covered. You know you're not stuck. You know you have emergency posts.
4. Deadline - There's always a phantom deadline which your forgot about. One which you never prepared for. One that creeps up on you when you least expect. That's when you use your stored emergency posts.
5. Procrastination - Try to never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Don't take time for granted. Take action. Trust yourself. Trust your instincts. Think less. Act more. Do more. Or use your emergency posts.
