Everybody uses tools. Whether it’s for construction or for everyday use, tools help us do things much easier than it’s suppose to be. But what about for blogging ? Yes there are many types of online tools out there that can be used with blogging, but I’m thinking of something else. Something much simpler and you can use without a computer, which you have probably already figured out through this post’s title: a notepad.
I’ll make this short and quick. Think about it. What’s a notepad for? Well, to take notes and for future references right? To get right to the point, using a notepad with blogging can help you:
- brainstorm new things to write about
- keep a to-do list
- schedule important events
- jot ideas down quickly so you won’t forget it
- draw graphics (blog design, banners, etc.)
- and more
If you don’t think having a notepad (or even just a pencil and paper) can help you with blogging, think again. Bloggers like Darren from ProBlogger always keeps a notepad with him. Courtney from Courtney Tuttle says that she got 11 post ideas in one week just by sitting down with her yellow notepad. Like she said, it is the best secret to never running out of ideas.

A basic pen and paper (not limited to a notepad) is my comfort tool. I am not comfortable without a pen and paper I carry around to jot down random thoughts that pop out of my head!

A notepad is also really useful blogging tool for me. Although there are electronic places to store ideas, I can carry a notepad with me anywhere I go. Also, I find that being away from the computer helps me generate other ideas because I have had time to think deeply and reflect.
Keep up the great work,

Wouldn’t your #1 blogging tool be your blogging platform?
Still, writing down blogging ideas is a great way to organize things. Sometimes you can get a spontaneous amazing idea and that notepad is just amazingly handy. In addition, it’s always nice to be able to physically hold and feel something rather than it taking place virtually.
