As most of my readers probably know, my Online Adventures are my part-time job. I have a full time job that I spend most of my time at during the day. Therefore, I try to get caught up on my online stuff on the weekends. However there are are weekends like this where I actually have to work overtime at my day job. This makes it very hard to keep everything running the way it should be.
The way that I have been working on making these disruptions less of a headache is to streamline my sites such that nothing HAS to be done to keep them up-to-date content wise. That way if I don’t get to them on the weekend it is not the end of the world. As for stats, analytics, etc I check them daily and will make adjustments if need be. It is on the weekend that I start new tests, and I ensure that the tests last one week. Therefore if I am too busy to end the test, and review the results, I am not at a loss.
As for the few blogs that I have on the go I simply write my articles in advance. I have one post for every second day for two weeks. Then everyday I try to make another post. This way if I miss a weekend I am still safe for the following week.
