It's been really difficult to find time to blog for the last few weeks, and I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm taking a couple of evening classes that have turned out to be more time consuming than I expected, plus I've taken on a slightly larger role at work. Add in a little time for exercise (including the mountain bike I bought recently), and a very little time for relaxation, and I'm spent! I definitely enjoy blogging, especially when inspiration strikes, but lately it seems like I've been rushing through it so I can move on to the many other things I need to accomplish...

You have so totally captured the reason why I tend to post to my blogs once a month (and I have a ton of ideas waiting in the wings!)

I'm not sure I want to go to posting only once a month, but it's definitely smart to have several ideas before writing. Thanks!

Pat,

It's called "burnout" and it is a very normal occurrence. It happens in business, it happens in a marriage and it happens in writing. It is a symptom of having to do something when you don't want to do something. There are some people who blog every day...as a professional writer myself, i could NEVER sustain that pace or pressure to produce. Perhaps cutting back would help. But get started today. The longer we put things off, the harder is to jump back in!

Yeah - it's burnout, indeed...

I once write 15-20 articles a week for my own blogs and it's darn difficult to get inspiration when you have written hundreds of article on the same niches/topics.

So yes, cutting back will definitely help :)

I'm definitely a little burnt out:) I've limited myself to 3 posts a week rather than daily, but even at that I may be pushing it. I'm thinking I might set aside one of those days to share links I've enjoyed during the week. Thanks for the tips!
