As my online life gets busier and busier my time gets absorbed in the million and one things that are going on at once. I occurs to me I need a blogging timetable. Not a timetable of posting, but a timetable of activities.
Does anyone use a timetable to manage their time online? By timetable I am referring to a schedule of events. For example, on a Sunday you would prepare a newsletter, send it out on a Monday, manage your subscriber list on a Tuesday, filter Akismet on a Wednesday, update plugins and other maintenance issues on a Thursday, deal with advertising/affiliates on a Friday, review everything on a Saturday ready to start all over again on the Sunday.
Doe sit help? Is it easy to stick to or do you get side tracked away from your timetable easily? I already schedule certain activities on a daily basis. For example, I write in the mornings, review in the afternoons and research/socialize in the evenings.
At the moment I do everything else on an adhoc basis. If my Akismet comments look to be getting full – I go an empty them. If I notice a plugin requires an update, I go and update it. If I am reading a post and it mentions a good plugin – I will go and look at it. It’s all very adhoc and time consuming.
How do you manage your blogging time? Do you have a timetable? Do you use any time management software? I would be very interested to hear your views – feel free to comment.
Well many time i have made time tables so that i can do my work in a routined way, but it worked shortly and again i used shifted back to my old routine. SO i stoped making these time table. Now what i do is, I just keep myself focused on the work i start to do at a time. If I’m writing article,i stick on doing it and don’t distract myself by something else, and same i do when i read or when i check out my sites everything. What is required is to be focused and not get distracted.
