85 Quotes for Bloggers Who Wanna Get Stuff Done Without Burning Out

I’m not even going to pretend. I fell off and wasn’t able to blog for a very long time. 

You know, towards the end of last year, I suddenly got this fire and I was posting new blog posts every day. 

That was when I decided to take my Pinterest very seriously, and everything was going so wonderfully well. It was literally the peak of my blogging life, and that momentum continued for about three or four months.

But then, around March 2025, it was almost as if I literally had to force myself to actually write a blog post. 

That was when I knew I was burnt out and needed to take a break before coming back. 

I even wrote another post about how you can avoid getting burnt out while blogging, so check that out if you’re in that stage. I dropped a lot of helpful tips there.

One thing I know for sure that really helped me (aside from building a very active community and getting a blogging accountability partner) was simply listening to and affirming myself. 

I know affirmations may sound silly if you haven’t tried them before, but I promise, there’s real science behind this. 

When you speak positive words, surround yourself with positivity, and literally just pick positivity in whatever you’re doing, it’s almost as though the universe, your body, and your mind listens to you and you feel a sense of calm.

So what I used to do was chant these affirmations to myself or look at them every time, even when I couldn’t do anything else. 

I would just read the affirmations and they really helped me. 

That’s how I slowly dug myself out of that hole and started being a little productive again.

So if you’ve been struggling with your productivity as a blogger, struggling with self-belief, and struggling to actually get anything done for your blog, then these quotes can make their way onto your affirmation board.

Here’s How to Use These Productivity Quotes: 

1. As your phone wallpaper:

You can actually decide to use them as your phone wallpaper. 

Just go to Canva, create something sweet (there are lots of ready-made templates there), type in your favorite quotes, and set that as your lock screen or home screen. 

That way, you’ll see it every time you open your phone.

2. On colorful sticky notes:

You can also write them out on little pieces of colorful paper and paste them all around your workspace. 

This way, you’re constantly reminded that you are making progress, even when it feels like you’re stuck in one place.

3. Set reminder notifications:

Finally, what I actually did (and this really worked) was to set up about 50 reminders on my phone. 

Yes, 50 different productivity quotes that would pop up at random points in the day to remind me that I’m doing well, and that my blog is doing well too. 

I’d see these pop-ups every day, and I can’t tell you how much they helped.

You can decide to do any of these or even all of them.

The quotes I’ll share below come from a mix of places – some are ones I wrote myself, and others I gathered from different sources online. 

But no matter where they came from, I feel like they’ll meet you exactly where you are and speak to what you need.

So check them out below and let me know if any particular ones really spoke to you.

Most Inspiring Productivity Quotes for Bloggers

You don’t have to blog every day to be consistent. You just need to keep returning to your voice, even when your motivation whispers instead of shouts.

It shouldn’t always be about chasing trends or going viral. Also focus on staying rooted in your message and showing up for the readers who are already waiting for you.

Progress in blogging isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s quietly editing a draft at midnight, or picking yourself back up after a missed post.

One blog post can take hours, days, or even weeks and that doesn’t make you slow, it makes you someone who cares deeply about your work.

You don’t have to be in the mood to blog. You just have to start, even if your first few words are awkward, scattered, or full of doubt.

Your best work might not come from inspiration. It might come from that random Tuesday when you almost gave up but chose to write anyway.

Just because someone else is blogging faster or louder doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Your pace is valid, and your path is yours alone.

You’re not a machine, and your creativity doesn’t run on a schedule. So, always give yourself grace when you need rest, and trust that the words will come.

The most impactful blogs aren’t always the most polished. They’re the ones that sound like a real person sharing something they believe in.

Every draft you delete, every sentence you rewrite is all part of the process, and none of it is wasted time.

If you only blog when you feel confident, you’ll miss the moments when your vulnerability could actually connect with someone deeply.

Growth doesn’t always look like more traffic or more followers. Sometimes it can look like clearer writing, stronger boundaries, and better balance.

Even a quiet blog can carry a powerful voice. Don’t confuse low engagement with low impact – you never know who needs your words.

Every time you choose to blog instead of scroll or doubt or give up, you’re proving that your voice matters more than your fear.

You’re not failing just because your blog hasn’t blown up yet. As a matter of fact, you’re learning, practicing, and building something real and lasting.

Blogging isn’t just about perfect grammar or SEO tricks. Remember that you are telling a story, offering something true, and making someone feel seen.

No one sees the hours behind a blog post – the drafts, the edits, the self-doubt – but you know, and that’s what makes you a writer.

When motivation fades, remember why you started. Whether it was to help, heal, teach, or connect, your purpose still holds power.

Every time you publish a post, you’re choosing courage over comfort. That’s more than productive – it’s brave.

You won’t always feel inspired, but you can be committed. And some days, commitment is the most creative force there is.

Some days, showing up to write one paragraph is more powerful than publishing five blog posts, because consistency builds trust, not perfection.

You don’t need a content calendar that looks like a military operation. All you need (speaking from experience) is just a plan that lets you show up regularly and breathe while doing it.

When your words feel stuck, write like no one’s watching, because sometimes your best blog posts come from the quiet, messy moments no one sees.

You’re not behind – you’re just building something real, and real things take time, care, and more breaks than we like to admit.

Stop waiting for the perfect headline or photo or burst of inspiration. Press publish, and let the magic come after.

It’s okay to write slow, take breaks, and start over. The important part is that you haven’t quit, and that’s always worth celebrating.

If you keep comparing your blog to someone else’s highlight reel, you’ll forget how far you’ve come and you’ve come so far already.

There will always be one more idea to chase or one more thing to fix, but your blog is allowed to be imperfect and still be valuable.

A missed deadline doesn’t make you lazy – it makes you human. What matters is how you come back, not how you slipped.

No blog ever grew because someone waited for perfect lighting and the ideal day. It grew because they posted anyway.

Your voice doesn’t need to be loud or fancy to matter – just true. Show up with honesty, and the right people will hear you.

Don’t underestimate the power of one blog post. It might be the one that changes someone’s day, or even their life.

You don’t have to write like anyone else to be a successful blogger. Your weird, beautiful, unpolished voice is more than enough.

Start with one sentence. That’s it. That’s how blogs are written, audiences are built, and dreams are lived – one small start at a time.

It’s okay if your growth feels slow. What you’re building is steady, intentional, and rooted in something real. That’s the kind of growth that lasts.

Even on your slowest, messiest days, you’re still closer to your blogging goals than the person who never started – keep going.

Every post you finish – even the ones you’re unsure about – is a quiet win against procrastination, self-doubt, and every excuse that tried to stop you.

You don’t have to write like a genius to matter – you just have to write like you, and trust that your realness will reach the people who need it.

Your blog doesn’t need to be the most popular one out there. It just needs to be a space where your voice feels free and your stories feel true.

Some blog days will feel like magic, and others will feel like mud, but both are part of the path, and neither one means you’re doing it wrong.

The more you show up for your blog – even in small, imperfect ways – the more it becomes a habit instead of a battle.

You don’t need to be in the right mood, at the right time, with the right tools. Sometimes, you just need to begin, even if it’s messy and half-done.

No one writes the perfect blog post on the first try, so don’t let the fear of getting it wrong keep you from getting started.

Your worth as a blogger isn’t tied to likes, comments, or page views. Instead, it’s tied to the fact that you’re brave enough to hit publish.

Even the blog posts that feel ‘meh’ to you might be the exact words someone else needed to read, so don’t hold back.

Your consistency doesn’t have to look like daily posts. It can also look like showing up with love, honesty, and intention, whenever you’re ready.

It’s okay if you don’t feel like a professional. Blogging is a craft, and every time you write, you’re getting better at it.

Don’t measure your progress by someone else’s milestones. You might not see it, but your growth is happening, quietly and steadily, every time you choose to keep going.

Your creativity might not always feel loud or bright, but even on the dim days, you’re still creating something that didn’t exist before.

You won’t always feel inspired, but if you stay open and keep writing through it, the inspiration always finds its way back.

There will be days when blogging feels pointless – those are the exact days your future self will be proud you didn’t quit.

Every time you post something new, you’re proving to yourself that you’re capable of showing up, growing, and doing hard things.

You don’t have to be an expert to write something valuable – just share what you know, how you feel, and why it matters.

Let your blog be your messy, evolving journal, because the beauty of blogging is that it grows and improves right along with you.

Rest days, slow days, and catch-up days all count. You don’t lose your title as a blogger just because life gets in the way sometimes.

When you feel overwhelmed, just focus on writing one sentence. That’s all it takes to break the block and prove you’re still moving forward.

So, you can decide to use any of the methods I talked about in the introduction, but no matter what, always remember that you are doing well, no matter what stage of your blogging journey you’re at. 

Remember that the world is changing, you will learn, you will catch up, and you will surprise yourself. You are doing amazing, dear colleague.
