Blogging with anxiety; chronological scheduling

Good morning!

As always, facing anxiety, I always have lots of ideas for this little serie to share with y’all 😅 Let’s share our blogging anxieties together, and maybe some little remedies ahah

✏︎ Check out the other things i’ve covered in this little serie

Anxieties with scheduling englobes a few things for me, that i’ve already touched based with this serie. For one, I fear of scheduling too much in the events that WordPress decides to freaks out and lose my post.. which would be terrifying, though it’s “less likely” to happen (though I do know that it can, for sure). 

Then, it’s mixed between wondering if it’s worth enough to even be written & posted, with wondering if i’m oversharing too much or if people won’t actually care of reading it or the “feeling of broken record” where I feel like all this had been said in earlier posts and readers will see me as annoying 😬

Once all of that had been stressed over with, It bothers me when I have too much of the same thing clumped together; although ofcourse this doesn’t include bookish posts.. because it’s a book blog.. but if I have too much of “Mental Health” or “Others” or even “Memes” together, my mind go on overdrive of being bothered by it.

I know damn well that readers won’t necessarely care, because maybe they don’t see all my postings to begin with, and only clicks with the ones that they personally wanna read.. or youknow, other’s opinion aren’t as thorough and judging as our own is.

Scheduling is really a godsent; and i’m keen on keeping 3posts ahead on all time as it ease my missing a post anxiety.. but especially lately, i’m getting less of bookish ideas, and more into “blogging” or “mental health”, so that creates a whole other spin 😅 I tend to absolutely forget that I can just- not schedule posts together and leave a spot open for whenever I get another genre of posts ideas to shove in, or whenever a book review is ready.

Even though, okay maybe I won’t get the idea prior to the day it needs to be posted (cue in more anxiety), however, i’d say it wouldn’t be so bad as even IF I miss a post for lack of diversity within post genres- atleast I’d have something coming after, and i’d still have the action of writing posts.. so the fear of not coming back after missing one would be gone.

Sadly, there’s no middle ground to my anxieties ahah; I do need to learn to calm down and just take things as it comes and not trying to control so much.. so what if a month has more of a certain non-bookish posts, as long as I like writting them? My perfection bar definately needs to be lowered, and be less strict toward myself.

Do you have scheduling anxieties too?
What personally works for you?
