Being more organised

I really like the concept of blogging on specific topics on specific days of the week. However, I have not gone down this path as I anticipate the unwelcome pressure of a deadline looming without the requisite material having been finished ready for publication.
On reflection, I think having a rigid structure would actually enable you to focus a bit better (if you already know what themes are to be addressed), and would enable you to store up posts ready for future publication on a specific date. The advantages to your visitors are also obvious, they are more likely to come back if they know what they're going to get.
In conclusion, I could try this for a month in the future using the possible themes of a day for Software, a day for Contests, a day for Reviews, a day for Hints & Tips and a day for random stuff, leaving the weekends free for whatever comes along...
Having given this some further thought, probably the best compromise would be to be rigid about just three subjects for a Monday, a Wednesday and a Friday, leaving the other days free for random stuff and paid posts and whatever else comes along...
Have you tried this, did it work or not? let me know...
