One of the purposes of a personal blog is to leave behind the stress and confines of your professional duties and embrace a new adventure. However, it’s easy to fall into a trap of bringing what you do professionally back home with you into your own personal space. I originally had planned to update this blog at a minimum of once a week. Sticking to schedules are a necessary part of my professional life and I was about to repeat that same approach here.
When I looked at my calendar to set some time to blog I began to see more of my free time whither away. I began feeling stress over something I should have complete control over, my personal schedule.
Sticking to a schedule is a great idea for professional blogs, but it’s a horrible idea for those that truly want to “break out of the box“. Your whole approach for supporting a personal blog needs to be different than your professional blog. If not, what is the point of doing a personal blog?
