What Happened When I Skipped Blogging For 2 Months
Do you have good work habits?
Be honest – is your blogging just kinda “happening” when it happens?
Maybe your weekly podcast gets recorded the week it goes live…most of the time.
I’ve learned and relearned (and probably will learn again) the hard way, how important it is to have workflow. A way that you work that you repeat over and over again.
A system.
And now, going into a new year, I’m almost hyper aware of it.
The one that helps me improve and grow my business is establishing better work habits.
There’s only so many weeks I can wait until the last second to record a podcast, publish it, write the notes and get it up there in less than 24 hours.
I’ve got a 6 year old and a slightly short attention span.
And at the same time – I’ve got big goals. One of those was to make sure that I could commit to having a weekly podcast. Not every other week or every third week.
So, that’s what I dive into today in this shorter episode about how I got my podcast process back on track.
Oh – just to give you a major spoiler alert about what happened to my blog when I skipped writing fully fleshed out non-podcasts blog posts?
Nothing.
The world kept spinning. People kept reading. Life went on!
In this episode I also talk about:
- The real reason I ended up skipping blogging for 2 months
- Results of some of my blogging and podcast tests throughout 2014
- How I plan to get all my publishing content
- The simple question you can ask yourself about all that content you’re publishing
- How I’m making the process even easier for myself
- What happens when you finally have focus + establish a habit
- Why I’m always evaluating what’s working and what’s not
Okay – let’s do this!

Hi Anne,
This is really helpful! I’m excited for this year but because of the high goals, I see myself packed up with so many things to do. I have learned to delegate some of them, but just as you mentioned, there really are things that only YOU can do. I think I just need to be more realistic with the workload I set to myself and also realize my limits so I can still have a balanced life while I create an “empire.” 😉
As for podcasts or blog suggestions, I’m really stuck with the financial planning. I’ve been roaming on an accountant but I’m not sure if I should let them handle and track my personal finance as well. How do you do it, Anne? Do you do it personally or do you get your accountant to do both? For me, these finances are closely intertwined so I would really love it if you will feature a piece focusing on the financial aspect of launching/planning.
Thank you! 🙂
