Trying to Kill Blogging Procrastination

December 13th, 2007

Mohsin has recently published an article that all procrastinative bloggers should read: How To Kill Procrastination For Good - No Kidding!

I liked his tip so much that I’m putting it into practice, starting today.

Writing this post was the first thing I did after turning my computer on. In order to avoid distractions, I wrote it before connecting to the Internet. Then I logged on, copied his article’s link, inserted it above and published this post.

Now I must write a new article for Abaminds. As I’ll have to revisit over 60 blogs to write that, I won’t be able to perform this task off-line. I hope I won’t get (too) distracted. Let’s see if I’ll manage to keep focused on my new post or not.

I’ll try Mohsin’s anti-procrastination technique for some weeks. Then I’ll report the results here. Regardless of the outcome, I must make it clear that procrastination is only one of the several issues that affect my blogging efficiency (or lack thereof). Consequently, I don’t see this experiment as a “magical formula” that will turn me into a superproductive blogger. There are other things to be solved, and some of those are out of my reach and control. But every small step that I take will help me somehow.

I encourage you all to start taking small — or maybe not so small, depending on your possibilities — steps towards your blogging success right now.

    Hey Karen, have you had any success with this method so far?

    It’s been working great for me so far. Although, I am still not as efficient as I’d like to be, I manage to put down some ideas everyday thanks to this technique. :)

    I’m going to answer your question in a future post. Still testing your method.

    All I can say for the moment is that I’m happy that I’ve read your article and decided to take action on it. ;)
