Time-Savers for Bloggers

Dave has a nice article about saving time for bloggers… some rather practical, but then straighforward ideas that are targetted to minimize information overload blur as I would call it

  1. Read less.
  2. Read what you do read less often.
  3. Filter your reading.
  4. Read faster.
  5. Browse faster.
  6. Be more focused in your writing.
  7. Write faster.
  8. Write more concisely, and if necessary, less often.
  9. Tell true stories and provide live, first-hand reports.
  10. Split the workload with other bloggers.
  11. Narrow your audience.
  12. Learn to type properly. (oh well – a basic requirement I guess)
  13. Budget your time.
  14. Give yourself time to think, to experience offline, and to think creatively. This is the most important.

Overall I like his summary and remember myself scanning zillions of news per day in the summer … well actually at a job-less time… With a 100% job and a 100% university study there's basically not much time left but to write about the things that really impress you… in a straigt and fast manner…

Thanks to Erik and Robert for this!
