You have awfully good advice here. I like the idea of monthly maintenance. Will try to start with that!!<br /><br />Here's a laugh.

It's something I definitely need to do. I missed the June Blogiesta and so I've just been floating since January. I even bought Problogger's latest book but haven't done anything but read a few pages. Ackkkk! I need to get myself under control but procrastination is so easy.<br /><br />I like your idea of scheduling a regular monthly time period for maintenance. A few hours a month will be better than all those days I took for Blogiesta. So - between the last paragraph and this one I pulled out my calendar and scheduled the fourth Monday of every month as Blog Maintenance Day. <br /><br />I feel better.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972951595926878159.post-57685886897749273942010-09-10T08:49:09.614-04:002010-09-10T08:49:09.614-04:00I wouldn't say that I procrastinate. It's...I wouldn't say that I procrastinate. It's more like just not having anything to say, or at least anything I think anyone would have an interest in reading or seeing. As I said before, I get into a funk for periods of time. <br /><br />I don't schedule blogging. I just get to the computer when I have the time and spend whatever time I have or feel like committing to it. One day it could be a few hours, and another day I don't get there.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979949404266325705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972951595926878159.post-83441869443347641032010-09-10T07:08:43.605-04:002010-09-10T07:08:43.605-04:0024/7 I lecture my kids about procrastination, and ...24/7 I lecture my kids about procrastination, and try to teach them to do things as they come up. And generally I am like this too, but recently I have been just horrible about staying on top of the blogging stuff. I was just up in Chicago and had a few hours to kill while my husband was at a meeting, and I had a little bloggiesta of my own. It felt good. I need to remember that feeling!!!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972951595926878159.post-73571146727216890242010-09-10T06:04:49.257-04:002010-09-10T06:04:49.257-04:00I used to do exactly that when I worked full time....I used to do exactly that when I worked full time. I was forever hearing folks say "Oh I never have time to do XYZ". Typical for programmers who didn't want to document their work, people who didn't do their filing etc. Make a little time now else you will have to make a lot more later on, I would say. I used to take a Friday afternoon each week to catch up with all the jobs that would otherwise have got left until they could be left no longer or not done at all. It was a great feeling going home on a Friday night knowing I had a clear desk, and nothing outstanding that would come back to haunt me.ashramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372074132235819250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972951595926878159.post-50224506966230017942010-09-09T23:42:37.796-04:002010-09-09T23:42:37.796-04:00You are reading my mind with this post.

I used to be very good about having a Friday Favorite and a Sunday Salon regularly but I've become such a slacker--that and I have to share my computer with a 15yo! I do like the idea of scheduling monthly maintenance--that I am going to have to implement.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.com
