Blogging, although it doesn’t looks like, it is a business. In fact, more than a business, is a lifestyle which you chose once you create your blog, and probably you didn’t think about the consequences of that. In addition of writing articles, blogging includes too many activities which can consume your energy. Participating actively in social networks, reading other posts and checking your statistics, consume considerably your time plus of your energy, and 24 hours at day does not seem to be enough.

Eventually as blogger, you will be exhausted of all those activities. The next is a list of tips that will help you to overcome the fatigue and recover your energies:
- Organize your time: many times I have sat in front my pc for hours and hours, just doing nothing! I start checking my blog’s statistics, comments and emails but after that, I do nothing! The computer consume my time and I notice it hours later. Many bloggers, don’t sleep thinking on what they can write for their readers, with the pressure of give to their readers new content daily. Taking a break to organize your schedule could help you to resolve all those problems.
- Keep the focus: when you feel lost on blogging, you must to remember your primary objectives. Taking a break to remember why did you create your blog, could help you to get your inspiration back. Thinking about your blogging goals, benefits and satisfaction that blogging have given you in the past, surely will give you a breath to continue your career.
- Study your environment: today I noticed that I can’t concentrate if the tv is turned on. You should study your environment, and look if it is ideal to blog. Many desktops are not optimal to do this, so you could decorate it with pictures or something which helps you to get the inspiration that you need. Remember that it is better to write with inspiration than without it, if you don’t feel good with your environment, you should go to an inspirational place for you.
- Don’t pressure yourself: you could be being too hard with you pressuring yourself to write new content everyday. A big tip, take it easy! The world will not end if you don’t write one day, your readers will understand it. When you have nothing to write, I recommend you to give to your readers other sources of content, linking them to posts of other blogs.
- Realize other activities: this is an excellent way to overcome the blogging fatigue. You could exercise yourself, play any deport or make something which help you to relax. Aside blogger, I’m musician, and when I’m tired of blogging I play guitar or piano. That help me to release my energies and it is very relaxing for me.
- Ask to your readers what they want to read: this is another reason why I created the section Ask to Mr. Javo. Asking to your readers what they want to read, is a good way to get inspiration. The most of times when you are tired of blogging, you can’t find a topic about what to write. If your readers want to read about a specific topic, you have the objective set. This way, the task of writing is simplified.
Blogging is not an easy task, even when you are a full-time blogger. Organizing your schedule is the key of all, helping you to save time to do other activities that help you to release stress. I have to say that I wrote this post because I was tired of blogging. This afternoon, I took my guitar and played a couple of songs. So then, the inspiration came back to me, letting me to write this post

Just take it easy and don’t pressure yourself

Mostly, I get *caught up* with all my reading on the weekends because I just don’t always have the time to read em all on the weekdays. There really doesn’t always seem to be enough hours in the day! I think it’s also hard when you work 40 hours a week too… In between laundry, supper and all that – it can get pretty hard!

Good advice – especially the part about not pressuring yourself!
Another thing people could do is to write a list of topics when they are feeling passionate about blogging. Then when you run out of ideas, you could pull one out from the list to write about. That’s what I do to cope with those writer’s block days.
BTW, I tried to comment yesterday but I couldn’t get through to your site for some reason.
