My good friend, Ronnie, sent a great brainstorming list of ideas for what to blog about during August – and, because he’s a done-for-you content provider like me, he’s also linked a bunch of ideas that you can use to spark your content creation.

Of course, I’ve also added a bit to this to give you some more ideas. So if you’re planning your content for next month, I hope this is helpful. If it is, then I could be talked into making this a regular feature. #justsayin

August is a time of transitions and is bittersweet.

Summer is wrapping up. The leaves are about to turn colors. It’s back-to-school time. Everything is saying that before we know it, Halloween will be here.

Some ideas for content to help your audience.

• A mindset shift happens taking your audience from relaxation-mode to the chaos of reality. Help your readers prepare for this shift with mindset tips and training.
• Routine. Your audience may struggle to adapt to a new routine. Help them to get organized, manage their time, and cope with change.
• Healthy balance. Inspire and educate your audience how to maintain a healthy work-life balance in their lives.
