managing myself (again)..

Posted on Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 at 7:46 pm

Some of you loyal smemon.com readers may have remembered my ‘managing myself‘ posts where i basically wrote out a list of things to to on a sunday night for the week ahead. That worked great. Mind you, i wasn’t as busy back then :mrgreen:

Now, i find myself weighed down by college and assignments and crap. I’ve also just created 11 new websites and i intend to update them all twice a week.

Add in my other sites and this blog, and you’re looking at about 15 blogs which have to be looked after. That’s a monumental task for anyone. So i’ve devised a sophisticated plan of action.

I’ve created a timetable of when to update sites and when not to (see below). So 12 sites must be updated twice weekly (excluding this blog), but i can update no more than 4 each day other wise it gets too much and even i suffer from blogging burnout :razz:

I’ve given myself Saturday off as i don’t usually blog much on a Saturday due to the fact i’m with my girlfriend from about 8pm on Friday to 8pm Sunday.

It’s a huge ask. It means creating at least 6 blog posts PER DAY (4 on my new blogs, probably 2 on this) on a variety of different subjects. Even if it’s just embedding videos, it still takes time to find a video, title it, embed it, add tags etc.. so this will not be easy, even for a blogging machine like myself :smile:

If all goes to plan i’ll be churning out a minimum of 40 blog posts per week across my network of sites. Frightening thought.

    Hope you haven’t bitten off more than you can chew!

    I hope so too :mrgreen:

    But starting monday, i’ll stick to this timetable religiously and see how i cope. Blogging twice/thrice daily has become a habit for me on this blog, so i’m hoping if i can get in to the habit of tripling my posts, i’ll get used to it.

    It’s all about time management and motivation. I don’t mind blogging, but when it comes to ‘what blog will i blog on today?’ i find myself heading to my favourite blogs and for this project to work, i need to be spreading my love across all my blogs :smile:

    About how many visits do you a month. I have created my blog and am having trouble getting the word out.

    about 3000 unique hits/month, pedro :razz: it’s tough promoting a new blog, but just keep working and people will eventually come to you.
