A while ago I decided two blog posts per week was too much while I was getting used to my new job. Now, I’m not so sure.
Blogging on and off
Publishing just one post per week just doesn’t feel right. Especially because it allows me to not log on and write every single night. On the other hand, I needed some evenings off blogging. I still do.
What do you reckon: should I blog – or spend time with you guys?

Blogging should be your daily routine – not a daily decision
This is exactly why I turned blogging into a daily routine from the start. You don’t want that kind of discussion with yourself:
- It takes up time you could spend blogging
- It costs energy better spent on blogging (because then you’ll have a tangible result to show for your effort)
- Chances are you’ll end up saying something to your other half – or to your kid(s) and they’ll say: “well, then, don’t blog if you don’t feel like it.” How much will you feel like blogging after that type of encouragement?
Enough said.
I’m going to publish two posts per week again – whenever I manage to do so. If I don’t I’ll publish one post on Monday. I’m not yet sure if the other one should be on Thursday or Friday – what do you think is a good day for posting?
Whether I’ll be able to produce a quality blog post every time I have yet to find out. And there’s just one way to find out. Stop whining. Start blogging.
When is a blog post ready?
That’s my main reason for wondering if I’ll be able to publish twice a week. I’ve often felt uncertain about just writing and hitting ‘Publish’. But editing can lead to overediting – and take up way too much time.
So I’m going to be hard on myself and just publish this. After I get a picture somewhere that suits this blog post – and possibly my sense of humor.
And finally a reading tip for you that is similar to one of my earlier posts – only this one is from Weblogbetter.com: Why do you blog anyway? Enjoy!
