time management is the biggest thing I’m currently struggling with as a blogger and online business owner. Sometimes we just get so many different projects going that the basic daily stuff gets neglected. Every day I keep trying to find and improve ways to get better use from my time.
Thanks for the post!
Good time management tips for bloggers like us! Especially useful if you are a part time blogger who have a full time job, and have more than 1 blog to maintain.
You are definitely right especially about writing in our peak hours. Personally, I like writing at night because that’s when I am most active. Also, it’s one of the most peaceful time of day where I am most free from distraction. If I write in the afternoons, I won’t be as productive because afternoons are what I associate with nap times and generally being lazy.
Wow, nice tips for blogging. My favorite is the last one.
Rewarding yourself is a great way of making yourself more progressive in your future posts.
Hi Margaret,
A good blogger is the one who manages time well and get new ideas that are in front of him and also the things that are not.
Selecting the best place/niche to place your blog should be the key to make your blog available to the readers.If you have written a technology based blog then placing it in some other niche will not make any impact.
I would like to tell you that you missed the 4th point.its missing here in your blog.Hope you will provide that point too.apart from that point your post is amazing. “)
Time management is a huge issue for me – especially since blogging is only a secondary (but important) activity for me. However, I definitely maintain a TODO list for all blogs and websites that I own. Sticking to a schedule is an issue though rest of the things like fast typing is fine with me 🙂
That second one is key and something I haven’t heard many talk about. Energy is constantly waxing and waning so discovering your particular optimum time for the most output is vital. This is one of the secrets to how super successful ppl seem to get so much done in such a short time because they know at what times their energy is best.
Finding different places to blog can be rewarding…coffee shop or mountain top ?
A blogging schedule is a must. When things get busy, writing can often get pushed to the side. If you have a schedule laid out and your blogging tasks are organized, it’s easier to stick with it.
1 & 3 point is really important if you want to success in your blogging career. thanxxx for sharing such a nice article ….
