Late Night Coffee and a Mind Running Full With NothingsteemCreated with Sketch.

The scenario

As sit in my living room, looking at the wall on the other side of the table while drinking my 10pm-coffee, I am grinding brain against a mental grater hoping a thought or idea might just come out the other side.

My Conundrum

"What should I write about? What is an important issue to bring up or comment on? How can I add value to this already awesome community?"

So I found out what I will write about...the fact that I can't think if a single thing to write about.​

Here is my question for anyone who picks this article up:

What do you do when your brain is not churning anything out?

Nice! I am always hitting up the recent news articles on Google. Maybe I need to do that tonight :)

When the brain isn't functioning, Relax. Sleep. Play. Pray.

However, for Steemit sake, keep a pencil and paper within reach. Then, when your brain randomly spits out a good idea, write it down.

I maintain a "Steemit Tickler File." (Click below to see an example...)

Nice, might use the steemit ticker file! Right now, I jog my thoughts down in a mind map :)

Sometimes I Google "blog ideas" or something to give me a start. Once in a while it seems like my brain doesn't get started on its own and I have to guide it to what I want it to do. Sometimes it also means it's time to take a break.

I have also done the 10 p.m. coffee. :)

Thank for the input! I usually run series on here (Lessons From the Middle East, Was Jesus a Socialist, etc.), but sometimes I try to branch out and do a one-off post. That's when my brain hits the wall :o

following!
