A little over a month ago, I committed to myself to publish a blog post once per day for six days out of the week. Since then, I believe I had one or two days where I hadn’t posted a blog post. So, today, my commitment to post a new blog six days out of the week is being revised!
The cool thing about setting a goal, if you don’t complete your goal, instead of considering yourself a failure, just revise the goal and continue on. My goal was a realistic goal. It’s easy for most people to post one new blog post per day, six days out of the week.
But for me, having four kids and a wife who loves getting out of the house on the weekends, it’s not so easy.
So today my new goal is to blog five days out of the week. I realized that finding the time to post on Saturday was stressing me out. On top of that, I was taking valuable time away from my kids.
So the revision of my goal is to post one blog post five days out of the week. Monday through Friday, you’ll see a fresh, unique and useful post from yours truly.
In addition to relieving some of that stress and allowing me to truly enjoy the weekends with my kids, it will also allow me to bring higher value to you in my content. It’s too tempting to simply throw out some content just to fulfill the goal, especially when you are blogging that much. I know some very successful blogs on the internet that post only once a week. Their content is great and they receive a ton of traffic as well.
So, quantity isn’t always the best blogging tactic. If you can maintain the quantity without sacrificing the quality of your content, then you’re good to go.
