I work full-time as a writer and editor for a publishing company in Taipei. Freelance writing assignments also take up a lot of my free time. I publish four web sites, and I'm also a guest writer for Travel and Leisure Asia. I have to be extremely well-organized in order to fit everything in to my work week. On Sunday evenings, I write out my schedule for the next week and I try my best to meet all my deadlines. I'm not going to lie. There are some days when I don't do everything I planned on doing and honestly, I'm fine with that. You can't be too hard on yourself if you're doing this kind of work full-time and you don't make a scheduled post. Just don't make a habit of not making those scheduled posts! .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2010/02/06/photo-moment-reflections/">Photo Moment: Reflections</a> =-.

There's a lot of misconceptions about social media that we all start off with when we first dive into building our online presence. It's difficult to figure things out. How much time do you spend on social media now? Which social media outlets do you tend to focus the most on? Is it helping you? Keith @ Business3.0 –> I know that feeling.

And you're right that quality is definitely more important than quantity. It's better to produce something that your readers will love then to mass produce junk. Good luck in 2010.

I have recently had to take a break and reflect on how to balance everything. Its difficult NOT to blog, but I prefer to produce my level of quality than just out out information. During this time of reflection I see that the business side of blogging does require more structure than I put into it and will pay off in the end. But for the fun side of blogging I definitely need to keep that pen and paper handy because my best ideas come when I'm not even near a computer and mobile blogging is not going to cut it, LOL! Plan for 2010: Focus and plan time rather than just do it when I can because geez my life is busy! Great post to remind us all to breath and bring some organization to our passion for blogging.
