Thanks Eric for the comment. I agree. It’s all about getting things done and helping others promote their content. Naturally this will lead to people promoting your content.
A weekly schedule is also important to have because you will know when you need to which things.

Being active and taking action is exactly where it’s at and always will be. Making sure to stick with it and keep going is what gets you there whether you fail a thousand times or not.

Above all, keep it simple and make sure to have a schedule and stick to it so that things keep getting done.

Keyword there by the way is ‘getting done’. Just being busy with stuff isn’t necessary and doesn’t do you or anyone else any good. Make sure there’s a plan and you’re actively improving as you go and getting some kind of results.

Thanks for the comments Nile! I agree with what you are saying here and I think it’s a good way to structure your time available. I have tried different schemes but it’s always hard for me to follow through with it.

What I actually do now is that I write down the things I want to do for the day and then cross them off after I have done them. I think this helps me to become more productive. Great comment btw.!

On occasion, I have days where I somehow have no access. Because my main career is web design, I need to be online. If it is during the day, I usually go to the local library and load up the things I worked on offline – that way I make my deadlines. I can also post my blog posts to the various sites I maintain and guest write for.

It might suck if you are a person that focuses on your Alexa rank and traffic numbers by the day because if you are a frequent blogger and miss one day, you will notice the difference in the amount of visitors.

I know you are working on mini sites, but I can recommend this from my experience: schedule it out. Take a bit of time for each.

For example, it is not uncommon for me to take on several web design projects in a week. I will space each out in 5-7 days completion, and the client is aware of that. In that time I am able to also schedule my blog posts, social networking, and my own offline routine.

Good luck!
