Blogging And The Art Time Management
Define Blog has a good post on Managing Your Time as a blogger of multiple blogs...
‘If you run several blogs managing your time is highly important. Ideally we would like to take the hours we are awake, divide it by the number of blogs we have and have that be the total amount of time we spend on each one. But this is an impossibility. Do you have a job, do you have friends and family, do you enjoy eating? There are a lot of factors that keep us from working as much as we would like to on our blogs; so finding an effective way to manage your time and input on it is vital….'
I couldn't agree more with Ryan. Time management becomes a real issue and something that can make or break an entrepreneurial blogger. It isn't all plain sailing ad the distraction can be paralyzing. I know that there are days where I can spend hours on end doing things that are good things and even related things to blogging - but that are not blogging themselves.
I set myself a 25 posts per day goal to keep my blogs growing - but unless you have some real discipline goals like this can be easily pushed aside. The distractions can be anything from checking your stats, to IM conversations with other bloggers, to ‘tweaking' design, to reorganizing categories to… you name it. Whilst all of these things are important to a blog - they can also take you away from your core business - providing content.
I'd be interested to hear how others manage their time? Do you have a daily rhythm that helps you stick to your goals or do you find yourself getting distracted (like me)?
