It's part 5 in a mini-series of podcasts that looks at how to be more productive with your blog and beat common blocks. In today's episode, I'm sharing how I managed to switch from regularly starting but not finishing blog posts, to finishing and publishing them most times. I share my strategy, tools and process so that you can finish every blog post every time.
