Coffee-Blogging: Getting Off to an Efficient Start
Posted on 27. Jun, 2009 by Grinder in blogging
There is no shortage of tasks every blogger — spammy or not — engages in throughout the course of the day. Because of the fluidity of the medium, however, spending too much time on those tasks can evolve into some serious time-wasting. This is especially true in the morning, when the tasks awaiting your attention are bursting with new bits of information.
Darren Rowse of ProBlogger considers his morning blogging routine akin to performing triage:
“I liken most of what I do in the mornings to a Triage in the emergency room of a hospital. It’s about assessing what happened over night, identifying urgent things that need immediate attention and less urgent but important things that I need to prioritize and then mapping out how I’ll use my day.”
Getting bogged down in the morning is easy, and that is why it’s a great idea to set priorities and even have a checklist or schedule. Whatever system works best for you, check out the way ProBlogger gets going in the A.M., and perhaps you too can create some structure on those coffee-soaked, bleary-eyed mornings.

…like right now. All good points. It is important to not get bogged down and get a rhythm in the morning.
