Hey Steemers
Since finding my Steem, (only the other day lol) I have run into a kind of delicious problem
See I have always thought about having a blog, and being able to vent my views on the world, share any small knowledge I have about succeeding in your own business, and maybe sharing my personal life stiff as well.
That's all well and good, and I am am so happy I have found Steemit, but I have an issue
The Issue I have is ...Time
I have hell a lot of planned posts to write...I mean , I'm not sure if anyone else does this...or even if this is how your write a blog, but if i get an idea for a blog post I will immediately write it down.
I'll just jot down a subject and maybe a few breif notes on what I want to cover in the post.
But the problem is that the list is getting longer, andf I am now only just onto my third post!
There are probably about 40 odd post ideas I have yet to start, and about 5 or 6 half written
You see, I have my eBay business to run, thats what pays my bills and that is what takes up my time.
Unfortunately I am not at the point where I can just have it run on autopilot, that part i haven't work out yet.
I also have my family to spend time with, i'm a firm believer in spending time with them as they are the ones who are with me every day, and they are the ones who support and nurture me, so i need to give that love and attention back to them! I rarely had this a kid, there is no my my kids are missing out on me!
But...I really love this blogging thing, its news to me, its exciting, I have so much to write about, and i don't really care if its rubbish or not, its coming from my heart or somewhere within me, and at the moment I'm loving getting the words out of me.
Your input would be appreciated on to how I could balance my time better. What do you do to make sure you have time to blog, earn money (well for some of that's the same thing lol), spend time with family, and get all those nasty chores done as well.
Maybe it takes me too long to write a post? This one has me about 15 min to write and edit check before posting, does that sound about right or am I slow?
I can see there is a shit ton of plagiarism going on here on Steemit, and i dont think Ill ever be about that (but i might borrow an image or two that have shared usage rights), and some of these guys have massive post counts.
I don't think I'll ever have high post count like some on here, but hopefully my posts will be more about quality, not quantity.
So my questions to my readers are these...
How can I manage my time better to get more time for posting?
How can I write posts faster..or is 15-20 min a post fast enough?
What should I concentrate on writing first...what seems to flow and whatever i feel like at the time...or should i stick to a structured approach and work through my list?
Thoughts, comments votes and feelings would be appreciated below!
