Benefits of a Content Calendar
Avoid stressful situations
If you plan or schedule your next publications, you will know exactly where you are ahead of time, so that you can organise your time to meet your deadlines for the publication, Also you will have in mind all the research, writing, corrections and content curation, without rushing away and improvising.

Creating your calendar where you can schedule all the tasks related to the publication, not only will give you a more productive distribution of your time, but also will allow you more free time for yourself.
Consistency on the content of your publications
If you have your global vision of your blog content for the next say 3 months, you will be able to rearrange the different posts to follow an appropriate and logical order. Also you will be able to feedback from one post to another, make announcements of future publications and so on.
Another relevant point with regards to the consistency of your publications, is that you will be more coherent with your blog goals when you select every piece of content accordingly.
