Annie – You’re probably right! Growth stages of a newbie! And I suppose you’re right about there being other productive things to do to! I can’t be so wrapped up in making a blog post that I don’t do the OTHER things I need to do (like finish Holly’s book!!!)

Anna – Sometimes a walk with your spouse is just what’s needed! I love going for walks with my wife when I can. And I think my obsession with posting every day came from the fact that this is the only thing I am doing so far in the IM world and a part of me was afraid that if I didn’t do it EVERY DAY that I’d stop. I don’t see that happening. I have a different kind of motivation than I’ve had in the past. Besides that, I’ve found some really good friends to help keep me motivated!

I didn’t post last night either. I got home and sat down to do it and my wife snagged me and said “I need help painting” and so I was helping her paint for a while. But you know what…”IM is supposed to be free and flexible” I’m not on a deadline with this…not yet anyway. I haven’t set my goals yet and so I just need to take it all in stride and prepare to meet my goals when I write them down!

It was great! I felt like I was on vacation! So I know how you feel. But don’t feel you HAVE to post every day. I’ve read that one or two posts a week is fine. I don’t even post that much on my IM blog because I can’t – I have other niches and upcoming projects and no matter how much I work, something seems to wind up getting neglected.

Anyway, if you have a headache and you need to lie down, then do! And if you don’t feel like working online one day, the world won’t fall in on its center. IM is supposed to be free and flexible, remember? You can get up at 3:30 am and work on it, or you can skip it for a day. You can take it with you to the beach or you can leave it at home. Just as long as you keep going you are generally fine.

Anna´s last blog post..Internet Marketers – Who SAYS its time for Bed?

If I can do “something” productive each day online, I feel encouraged. It might be a post to my blog, adding a link for advertising, participating in one of my forums (where my signatures will be shown), or even just studying my statistics for my sites. What I must, must, must do is to crack down on also including my reading daily, for once I finish Honest Riches, I have other things that I must really study.

As long as the excitement, committment to quality, and fun exist, taking time off when needed is a good thing! For out of doing that, you were to create this post!

Until next time…Annie

Annie T. Baxter´s last blog post..How Seeking Honesty Led Me To Honest Riches

I’m not going to force anything, and don’t want to give my readers any junk. I’ve found, and actually started working on a “schedule” of sorts. I won’t post it, but there is a theme I am working on for my posts. What type of posts get done on specific days and such.

I am still formulating this, and don’t want it to be too rigid, but I like having a loose idea of the topics I’m going to cover or the style of posts during the week. I may try to finalize this a little bit this weekend.

Keep up the good work man, those other three are the best…me, I’m just a guy who likes sammiches and Holly had pity on me, so she talk to me from time to time. Davin saw what a poor helpless guy I was, so he decided to be my friend as well. Anna, well….she just knows I need help! So, she’s been very helpful…though she threatens me with stealing my mayo!
