Hello Everyone, I can guess you are having a great time with your gadget scrolling through your post feed and I'm very happy you actually decided to read my blog post today.. Thank you for the lovely visit 😊.

I really don't know if you are a content writer or a blogger but there's actually a high chance you might have experience this feeling of not knowing what to write about. The fact is that there's really more to content writing other than what the readers or audience might actually be thinking about. You should know that it's not really easy trying to be creative to write about something captivating and at the same time getting the attention of the audience unless if the blogger or writer happens to be a plagiarist which you will never see me engage in.

There's a popular saying that one man's food is another man's poison which implies that what works for me may not really work for you and what is working for you may not really work for me too. Every content creators or bloggers tend to engage in different activities or generate different ideas that could really make them cope when they fall into such situation and this is the main reason I'll be sharing with you some of the things I do when I don't know what to write about. Grab your popcorn and let's roll together as I drive you along with this post (I can't drive a car for now though but I can ride a bicycle 😊).

Some of the things I do are listed and explained below;

#1 TAKING A BREAK FROM WRITING

This may really sound astonishing to you but that's really the fact! There are times whereby you won't see me write any article or make post on my blog because I'm actually giving myself some personal break from writing. The duration of the break ends when I can sense that I have am capable of coming up with creative thoughts or ideas to write about. This is simply why it's really good to take a break sometimes and stop making things difficult or complicated for yourself when you can actually solve the problem.

Sometimes relaxing the mind, brain and body can really help your mind gain some sense of consciousness since every distracting agent would have been reduced to a minimum level making your mind and brain free and relaxed while coming up with content topics to write on.

#2 HAVING FUN

This may really sounds funny though but this is really something I do with some of my breaks. I have lot of fun with my friends and families which tends to develop that sense of joy and happiness in me. I play games, watch movies, eat whatever I feel like eating and I always ensure I don't get bored.

Sometimes getting bored can really affect your mood which makes you sometimes want to loose energy or passion while writing but it's always the best habit to enjoy yourself and don't live a boring life during those period of time because you may actually get yourself back on track and who knows maybe during the process of having fun, different topic ideas may start pumping out from your brain.

#3 READING

As a content writer or blogger, reading shouldn't be a big deal because the more you read, the more ideas you get and the more you'll be able to write better. There are times I'll be left with no choice than to just read some people's good content and learn from their post which simply helps me generate more ideas about what to write on. Reading isn't only limited to reading blogs or articles online, I also read news about things happening in our world including latest trends.

Sometimes in other to give out something to others, you definitely need to have it because you can't give what you don't have. One of the best ways of generating more content ideas is to read more contents often which gives you a sense of what to write about.

#4 SEEKING OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINION

I sometimes engage in this whenever I feel like testing the level of my creativity. It's just like a personal challenge I sometimes love to take part in when I have nothing to write about. All I do is to ask someone to suggest a topic for me to write on and I start putting in my best to create a distinctive post about the given topic.

Sometimes it's best if others challenges us to bring the best out of us and since you know you won't want to loose, you'll definitely do something about winning.

#5 MEDITATION AND DEEP THOUGHT

I always do this when I have no choice other than writing something most especially when I'm in dire need of money. The idea will surely come since money is involved 😂😂. Anyways, it's actually not really difficult other than you being alone and you start meditating and thinking very deep about the type of content you can come up with. Trust me the idea and the concept will surely come.

Sometimes it's really cool when you're alone without any form of distractions or disturbance. It really helps you to be more focused and passionate about your goal which is to come up with something to write about.

#6 ADD YOURS

You should know I'll definitely seek your opinion about what you always do when you are in similar situation like this and how do you tend to go about it.

Sometimes learning from other great people like you adds more to one's knowledge and exposure.

Thanks for your time and I hope you all have a great day ahead with love from @hardaeborla

Looking at either past event. Most of the time I pick inspiration from it to write a lot

Past events do really help in most cases too.
Thanks for your lovely comment

You can also try freewrites.

I myself keep a journal of ideas.

Wow! Journal of ideas? That's really impressive!

Thanks :)

I get that feeling once or twice every week but I know how to get ideas.
For me, going out, watching YouTube videos, and reading books and articles online works.

I really love the tips you always use to get yourself back on track when you don't know what to write about..most especially through movies and reading

go for a run, hit the ocean, #2, play games, also, sometimes searching the web brings inspiration

Nice tips you've gotten up there 💪😊

very good recommendations !, I want to add that it is very important to take breaks when writing and that It is a good idea to have a notepad and take notes from there about things we want to write; in my case I won and it is very useful and inspiring to me.

Yeah! Taking breaks is real very important when it writing as it also makes the write up looks more interesting
