My usual day currently consists of the typical 8-5 job, which gives me little time to spend with friends and family. My online life is becoming more time demanding and eats into my family time, but I see it as a means to break free from my work life. Since my online activities are requiring more time, I’ve had to get better organized about how I do things.
In this post I’ll point out a few tips on time management for bloggers. In my previous post, which I wrote a few weeks back, I spoke about finding time for blog writing. So, this post would be a follow up. There are just a few things I’d like to add.
Set Schedule for Blogging
Each person has a best time. You can discover yours by monitoring your productivity over a period of time. Then you need to manage your schedule to keep your best time free for your most important work.
Create weekly schedule and set blogging activities for each day. For instance, I have set Friday to be my roundup day, Saturday is generally free and so on, just to give you an idea.
Then set a daily schedule for blog writing, commenting, moderating and other activities. One hour is enough time to write new content, moderate comments and reply to comments. Any time left over within the hour is spent visiting other blogs, leaving comments and generally promoting the blog.
Having a schedule keeps me focused and it also prevents me from forgetting or neglecting certain activities. I must say that there’s a sense of relief in hot having to think about every activity every day.
