When Taking a Break is the Best in Blogging

I know not all of us do the daily blogging routine. It is because:

1. There is another job aside from blogging;

2. You can’t have time to blog because of emergency situations;

3. You just see blog as a supplementary activity.

For others though, like me, blogging is considered a serious business. It is something we can’t live without, for the moment, because it is the main driving force for income-generation.

Blogging is something we view as business, not just an activity which you can just set aside.

However, those who have been into blogging have been caught up with certain problems also– common to many offline businessmen. There is a time of less productivity. There is a time for no-sales particularly when you’re just starting up. And there is a time when quitting is seemingly the only resolution.

I don’t advice to give up in business blogging because I know that this activity can bring in a lot of rewards in the future–if the right ingredients are in place.

However, I find it also reasonable and advisable to take a break.

For FYI, a majority of bloggers are writers. I would consider myself in that category. But being a writer and blogger, I have experienced a situation common to many literary artists– writer’s block.

In the case of blogging, it is called “blogger’s block. And this syndrome is not only a problem to writer-blogger. Many bloggers have come to experience this without them knowing about it.

The most common symptom of this syndrome is the inability to create a content for posting for a certain period. That could leave a trail of unproductivity on that day or period.

I believe that many business bloggers are creative, impulsive and self-driven. But, it is inevitable for errors to arise, pressures to explode  and stresses to beecome apparent when too much of things in relation to blogging is put forth.

The best advice: STOP BLOGGING.

Not that I advice to quit because you don’t have to. Just take a break from it.

It may be a day or two, especially when the blogger’s block becomes conspicuous.

And then find time and put energy to be inspired.

Meditate. Contemplate. And be Driven.

And then when you feel yourself ready or you force yourself to become prepared because you have to, then you may have productivity mode set in.

Just try and let me know if it works.

Speak Your Mind
