Commitment to Blog

posted by Tyrantmizar at 3:21 pm EST on October 22, 2005

I’ve made a decision. It has taken about 10 months and two blogs to make the decision, but, indeed, I’ve still made it. I’ve decided to post regularly.

Anyone looking at my previous blog can easily see that I did not post with any regularity in mind. I often ignored the blog for weeks at a time, then posted 3 times in a single day, then ignored it for another week.

But no more.

I’ve resolved to post at least 5 days per week. Pros and cons with this are:
Pros

  • Better rankings, more readership, and therefore (I hope) more reader response.
  • Gives me up to 2 days a week that I can take a break. I could decide to post every day, 6 days, or 5 days. Gives me some freedom of choice.
  • Reduces my stress: Blogging helps me calm down and focus.

Cons

  • Gives me an excuse to distract myself in order to “find something to blog about.”
  • Requires that I uphold this commitment. I’m not good at keeping true to oaths like these. If, or rather when, I accidentally break this promise, I’ll go into a bit of a depression and not be in the mood to blog at all. I’ll have to find a way to get over it.

As you and I can both see, there are more pros than cons. Therefore, I’ll try it.
