Hi Tish! Great point. It really helps to find that time when we’re most productive, too. That must have been quite an adventure to blog for 24 hours straight! Coffee or cocktails, or both? Sounds like fun. I’m glad you found me, too. Thanks for commenting!

Hey Martin. I think the lesson here is that we just have to pace ourselves. Too much can just add to all the other stresses in life. We want less of that, right? Thanks for your comment!

Like you, I try to post each and every day. Sometimes I’m just not inspired, though, so I don’t force it. If you check my posts, the majority of of them are posted late at night. I’m a night owl, and I do my best work in the wee hours of the morning. Oh, and also like you, I am addicted to blogging! That’s how I was able to survive 24 hours of straight blogging recently on my other blog, blogsweluv.com.

I’m glad to have discovered your blog! I’ll be coming back for sure.

I used to post every day; I too, since found that to be unsustainable though. I make sure I fire out at least five articles a week now; this means my work rate is sustainable and my readers know not to expect new articles over the weekend.

Hey, Pam. I can understand that. For a lot of blogs, 3-4 times a week seems to be a perfect posting frequency. If the articles are in-depth and thought-provoking (as yours are!), then it’s difficult for readers to take in all that information more than a few times a week. Thanks for commenting!

Hi Ken. Wow! That’s a really packed schedule! I admire your dedication. Once you get things going, though, will you slow down a little bit and give yourself more time off?

I tend to post 3-4 times a week. Then again, I can’t boast that I have a ton of traffic either, more of a consistent and slowly growing group of readers. But I do a ton of writing at work, and not blogging daily is my way of making sure that I leave enough creative energy left over for other projects, like the collection of short stories I’m always complaining about not having time to write : ).

Hi, Ray! I’m not taking myself off for Sunday. Sunday have become my golden time to tweak my blog since I have to work from Monday to Saturday. If you’d like to check my routine schedules, I have published it in this post.

Hi Snoskred. Those are great ideas for mixing things up. Doing different things like that is a great way to keep readers coming back and also to attract new ones. In fact, that is a great idea for a post. You could write a list of new ways to keep your posts fresh. And, of course, I’ll link to you! Thanks for your comment!
