Compulsive Blogging Introduction
I get a lot of comments from friends and colleagues about how much content I generate for various blogs, tumblelogs and micro-blogs that they have a hard time understanding how I remain as productive as I do. So how do I do it?
Well for starters, I work about 16 to 17 hours a day (my wife will vouch for me there). But I don’t fully attribute my hours worked to my through put. There are other factors at play here.
- I type fast
- I have a lot to say
- and most important, I find the fastest, smartest way to do things
Most people who contribute to a blog or post on a forum find it a bit of a chore. If it’s a web based blog, they have to login, go to the right admin panel, click a link here and there, maybe grab a picture here or there, upload it, fill in a box with copy and publish. If it’s a desktop app there using, it usually involves opening a sluggish, bloated application, click a few buttons here or there… you get it by now.
Now if you count the places I generate content for; nutMac, seyDesign, Twitter (when it works), Jaiku (when it works), WigglyWumble, Tumblr, even a blog I have for my son… Imagine if I followed those aforementioned procedures? I would be at it all day. SO, how do I do it?
I am going to break it into parts; make it a bit of a serial for you:
- In part one I will talk about the mindset.
- Part 2 will be about the methodology.
- Reaction time is key and I will look at that in part three
- It all boils down to the tools I use and part 4 will delve into this
Stay tuned.
