Blog management how many hours per day?
Posted by nostalgiaie on 28 October, 2008
How do people manage their blogs. A normal working day goes from 9:00 to 17:00. What with twitter, chat blogs wikis and all that, one would constantly need to be monitoring too many things. Say for instance I’m teaching a class in the morning at 9:00 then I have a coffee at 11:00 there is a meeting at 12:00 to 13:00. I have a laboratory session at 14:00 then another lecture at 16:00 I finish at 17:00. At what point do I update my tweeter or blog or wiki? Don’t forget that I have to respond to some emails. I need to catch up in some reading I need to do some research and prepare for lectures and laboratory sessions.

Staying abreast with blogging and microblogging has become more of a challenge than ever before because some people are using both channels are real-time communications channels. I’m trusting parts of both on my mobile phone so I can follow some of the flow as it unfolds but if you’re tied to a presenter’s mic or to the front of a classroom for much of the day, you really can’t experience the real-time flow of things in the blogging world. You probably need to carve out an hour a day to make things work. And then, you need to ensure you ruthlessly maintain a proper balance because blogging isn’t the primary centre focus of most productive activities.
