Hiya Barbara!

Thanks for the shout-out at the end. I have to agree with most of the folks who took the survey…one of the greatest challenges in “Time Management.”

Between researching a post, writing a post, editing it, and promoting it (it’s all a process), so much time has gone by! How do you manage it all and still continue to write new content consistently?

Jim and I schedule time (daily) to sit down and write fresh new content. We don’t always publish that content. But we dedicate at least 30 minutes to 1 hour daily to writing new content (whether for the newsletter, the blog etc.).

I have articles written in draft mode that I can reference at a later date and go back and publish. Time-blocking however is what allows me to get out there and get everything done.

Barbara – this post hits home in a big way! A as Lakeland real estate professional, I’m constantly on the go. Though I try to keep blogging as often as possible, time just keeps slipping away from me! Slow and steady wins the race – so I hope my pace still keeps me and my readers current!

No wonder I don't have time for reading, knitting and watching movies! I have often wondered how much time I devote to my blog each week, but I'm afraid to actually track the time and add it up. Finding ways to manage my time better, though, is always a good plan. One thing I always try to do is to have a post half written in my head before I sit down to write, rather than trying to come up with ideas and directions at the computer. I can work out ideas while I'm doing other things that matter to me, like gardening, taking a walk, or having a conversation with my husband—he's a great help as I sort out my thoughts. Kristin T.

Well, you make blogging sound almost impossible In fact, it can kill your health and sleep if you are after all those. However, sometimes concentrating on pure content quality alone can fetch you fame, money and what not – though it might take for ever.

As for me, I have reduced from 4-5 hours a day to 1 hr a day for blogging. Even if this meant that I am going down on post frequency, not much tweeting/social networking, no link building and not much commenting on other blogs.

I’ve got 3 blogs now and each one is suffering form a lack of time and input. One of the things I find very helpful is to build up a store of posts I can publish over time. That way when I go through a drought of posts I can always let these storied ones out.

They can’t be time specific ones though for obvious reasons.
