Limit your blogging

Blogging can be very addictive. You can find yourself writing enough words to publish books. You can find yourself marketing your blog relentlessly through cross-posting and linking back to your site in other's comments. With tools like BlogExplosion you can read for hours and hours on end.

Give yourself a limit for how much time you will spend each day reading and posting. Create multiple blogs but be reasonable in the number you intend to maintain. Stick to it else like other addictions (games, television, alcohol) your personal life or job may suffer. Remember you can post in advance so in a couple of hours on the weekend you can give your blog the appearance of having multiple posts every day of the week.
