Using a calendar or an organizer can help you keep an idea of how many posts you need inspiration for and will give you a clear view of all the type of posts and content you can cover with the posts you have already while you wait for inspiration to come. With that you can select how many are only for sharing pictures, comments, articles, and even create contests, ask questions or a mini-series of the same topic.
