Things which keeps you away from blogging

Advertisement

From past so many days I haven’t been blogging much due to the number of distractions on the Internet.I have written 6 posts in 10 days which is not a good thing for a Tech blog.First I had my keyboard damaged for 2-3 days (Yep,I have a new one now :) ) and I tried hard to write a post using on-screen-keyboard.Though I have no restriction of Internet or Pc access,apart from the fact that I am hooked to the PC 24/7 I am not able to write some posts everyday.

Gladly I found out the solution which kept me away from blogging on my cute Blogote.For this reason I am writing this post which will pump me up to write more quality posts everyday.I am sure there must be some bloggers who do these things everyday just like me!

1. Instant messaging – This is the biggest obstacle so far.I am using a multi protocol IM client called digsby.Digsby is a cool client which supports simultaneous login of gmail,msn,yahoo and aim with support feature of various social networking sites like Myspace,Facebook and Microblogging sites like Twitter.All this feature are in a single window application.I am totally mad about this awesome chat interface! I am pulling out from this client now,May be I will use it whenever their is a necessity to do so.

2. Watching Videos to pass the time – This passes my time and brings a unwanted smile on my face.I watch Music videos,Funny slapstick videos and weird freestyle dance.I watch the same video again and again and share them with friends.Benefit ? Nothing at all.This is another huge time waster.I wish I had a slow Internet speed so that I was unable to watch videos due to lot of buffer time.

3. Kangaroo hoping stunt – After doing the above time wasting procedure,I hop sites ridiculously all over the Internet.There were days when I used to hop 400-500 new website everyday.But now I surf more than those.First I start hoping stumbleupon and digg then I go so far in hoping that the niche changes from Tech to irrelevant topics which are of no use.

4. Testing out different Software – While hoping I find out new softwares or windows utilities,I check them out,download them and uninstall once again to know that the software was eating my system resources.Some softwares are very big in size and totally unwanted.To clean them completely I download another software..@_@ hehe

5. Joining unwanted sites/forums – During the Net surfing process I find out various sites and I bookmark them.I go to forums,try to find out some good utilities or read user’s experience on thoughts related to SEO,blogging .or marketing.I hardly participate in starting a thread or posting replies.The same goes with blog/site hopping,I don’t comment to all the blog/site to gain some link effect.I do read all the posts of my readers who own a blog and comment only if I like the post or if it is really helpful!

6. No proper sleep – After finishing all the above activities.I sleep in between 1am-2am and before getting a nap,I publish some post (if possible).It takes me hardly 30-45 min to post.While sleeping thoughts like - I WISH I COULD HAVE POSTED SOME MORE ARTICLES TODAY..come to my mind.The minimum amount of sleep will be really harmful for next day routine which amounts to laziness.

Once again I got up at 7-8am and at 9am I sit on my computer and repeat the same activity.But today those junk activities will come to an slow end.A happy ending for sure,I will post 60-70 monthly posts from the next month with more concentration on this blog and the junk activities will be terminated slowly.

Now I am all set to blog better with more articles up everyday with some Tips and Tech stuffs.I hope everyone enjoys them.. Let me know things which keep you away from blogging ? I would be glad to know if there is someone who had the same time-table like me!

    Awesome post Dear :D
    I like the way you analyze your day to day online life.. !
    Its bad to hear that you are getting only 6 to 7 hrs of sleep. which is bad for health.
    I think you must keep IMs away, and use them only for limited time.. or Group Friends into different categories and block unwanted contacts.

    :) Have a nice blogging experiance

    Very well expressed. Spending 14 hours on net without a keyboard, you are on a surfing-spree Sid :D .

    The social sharing sites backed by facebook are often the major distractions for me.

    Can you please suggest or post on how to avoid these (get net-addiction cured) ?
