I got TIRED ! -Need some time management-
Written by admin on December 24, 2007 – 12:41 pm -This is one of my biggest problems while blogging. At Decemeber 10th i wrote my last article. Those 14 days i couldn’t write. I was bored and tired at the same time. Why ? Cause i wasn’t managing my time. I wanted to write every day in my blog and reviewing others blogs. Add my day job, my family and friends plus some other personal stuff more important than blogging. My free time (the time i usually blog) was about 10minutes per day :S
Recently i have started to read how to manage my time from other bloggers so i decided to write down those suggestions and add a few of my own.
Sunday’s Planning
Sunday is my favorite day. No job, no other obligations. Just a coffee with friends (can’t miss it :D). So i decided to make my Sunday Plan. What i am gonna do at my Sunday plan? I am making my weekly post plan. I will write down the subjects i would like to post in my blog. I am also going to make a quick guideline for each article. Some basic things i would like to write about, not much just few important ones. If there is any time left i am thinking to write the Monday’s post.
Well i guess that sometimes a topic will appear out of nowhere so it will destroy my daily schedule :p
Can’t go for 7 posts
I will be realistic. I might not be able to write every day. Maybe 5 posts a week is more realistic for me. I’m not a full time blogger and probably i will never be. (i dont find it THAT interesting anyway).
I decided to write at nights, when i’m relaxing. If i want to :p
Feed Readers
This is probably one of the most time saving features i will use, image having 30-40 blogs to look at everyday, with something like Google Reader you can view the 90 blogs within minutes without needing to load up every blog and manually check
Write short articles
Everyone enjoys short posts and it saves a lot of time writing.
Check your stats less often
This I am guilty, I check them in daily basis. If you can check once in 3 days or even once a week, this will save you valuable time to work on your blog. Every time you check the stats your are just wasting your own time and this includes your Adsense earnings too.
Taking time away
You may think it does not help in time management but you will come back refreshed and maybe full of ideas, so don’t be afraid to rest for a day or two. These 10 days off my blog make me feel like posting again. It was too much but i was really needed it.
Don’t stuck !
If you find a blog you like don’t get stucked in for hours reading all articles. I was doing it all the time. You will need to judge and read what only required.
Enjoy your blogging
When you feel like you don’t want to blog just Don’t! Blogging is a hobby for most of us, so why be pressured to blog? I was feeling a kind of a presure for posting every day. When you enjoy your blogging you will find you are far more better in your time management, and will complete much faster so try and always enjoy and never do for sake of it.
Do you have any more tips that can help me out with my time managment ? If so please feel free to share them
