A Day in the Life: A Glimpse into My WFH Routine at Aspire Magazine
Ever wondered what a typical work-from-home (WFH) day looks like for someone working at Aspire Magazine? As a writer and content creator, my daily routine is a blend of creativity, organisation, and the occasional bout of writer's block. Join me as I take you through a day in my life, sharing the inner workings of my role at Aspire Magazine.
Morning Rituals:
Morning Coffee: Like many, my day begins with a steaming cup of coffee. It's the ritual that fuels my creativity and gets me ready for the day ahead.
Write To-Do List: Organisation is key in my line of work. I start my day by creating a to-do list, outlining the tasks and priorities for the day.
Check Emails: With coffee in hand, I dive into my inbox, making sure I'm up to date with any urgent messages or developments.
Check-in with Team: Effective communication is super important, so I touch base with my team to discuss ongoing projects and address any queries or concerns.
Schedule Social Media Posts: Part of my role involves maintaining our online presence. I schedule social media posts to ensure our readers stay engaged.
Content Planning: The creative process kicks into high gear as I brainstorm new ideas and research trending topics for our upcoming magazine issues.
Writing Process: With inspiration in hand, I delve into the writing process, crafting articles that aim to inspire, educate, and entertain our readers.
Dealing with Writer's Block: Occasionally, writer's block comes stumbling in. When it does, I take a step back and clear my mind with some fresh air on a walk with the dog.
Midday to End of Day:
Continue Writing: After my break, I return to my desk, rejuvenated and ready to continue writing, ensuring every word aligns with Aspire Magazine's vision.
Editing: Attention to detail is paramount in our line of work. I carefully edit my articles to ensure they meet the high standards set by our publication.
Image/Mood Board Creation: Visuals are a vital part of our magazine. Using tools like Canva, I create mood boards and images that enhance our content.
Creating Visuals: Writing and content creation go hand-in-hand. At Aspire Magazine, we aren’t just writers, but visual storytellers too. I create eye-catching visuals to enhance our articles.
New Issue Planning: Every day, I plan and strategise for our next issue, exploring exciting themes and fresh content ideas to keep our readers engaged.
Sending Copy for Approval: Before an article goes live, it undergoes a final review and approval process to ensure it aligns perfectly with our magazine's mission.
My work at Aspire Magazine is more than just a job; it's a passion. Each day is dedicated to delivering quality content that resonates with our readers, and it's a privilege to be part of a team that aims to inspire and inform.
While my daily routine may not be everyone's cup of tea, it's a testament to the dedication and creativity that goes into producing the magazine you know and love. Here's to another day of inspiring stories and limitless creativity!
