Hello ladies!
How have you been doing? Today I am going to talk about something that probably a lot of you might relate to. A lot of the fellow bloggers that I have come across are students or working women who are blogging part time (just like me!). I have gone through both the phases and according to my experience you can still find time to write and other stuffs as a student but as a working women it is impossible! After a year or so in blogging (like I am) it becomes a very important part of your life. And when you don't get time for this, it just makes you so very sad!
I'll share my very honest experience with you all. Everyday I have been seeing my pageviews and comments decreasing and the worst part is I know I can do something about it but just don't get the time. It is actually a nightmare for a blogger...I mean I do have some time on weekdays...but writing is not just a mode that I can come back from the office and switch on! There are times when I really want to write but simply can't (because of time crunch...random people in my house...etc!!). I want to give so much of time and write some quality posts and do other things for my blog and all I do is nothing. I come back home at around 8 at night, then I change and do other things and by the time I am on my laptop it is around 10 already. I open my blogger's dashboard and facebook page then. I check out the feeds on facebook and what others have written; all this while planning in my head what to write. And by the time I actually open a new post, I am drained of all my creative energies atleast (and also my mum starts shouting.. "sleep...you need to go to office tomorrow...!!") and I get irritated and sleep. I have actually tried everything from getting straight to writing without seeing what anybody else has done (While I love this approach but it is not possible to get in that inspirational mode on weekdays) to waking up early in the morning for my blog which just leaves me thinking about my blog all day long.
All this has made me so frustrated. But after nearly a month's long frustration I have finally come to this understanding that I can't really do both (work and blog). But the real dilemma is that I can't leave either one! So in the past one month I have really fought with myself and come to this conclusion that instead of writing crappy posts on weekdays just for the sake of satisfying my ego( that I am active on my blog) I would rather shift to being a weekend blogger. Trust me it is not a simple decision when you see your fellow bloggers updating their blogs every single day! I mean it actually really pains that you can't do all that you wish to. But you have to accept this harsh truth that there is just 24 hours a day!
So my dear dear readers as much as it pains and I am tempted to write on weekdays, I have decided to strictly keep my fingers off my blog on weekdays just to not compromise with the quality. I really hope you all would be supportive about it. And don't worry I would check your comments all week long!! <3 <3
Phew... it feels so good getting all that off my chest! I am so relieved now!
Do let me know what are your thoughts about it? Do you feel the same? Or you have some ways to deal with it.. I would love to know any suggestions!!
