Hi Vered,

I’m chiming in without reading other posts….

I have done this before, taken a blog break, and have come back with a healthier perspective on my life and how blogging fits into it. Your list is fascinating.

I would imagine successful blogging is like reality TV. How exciting to have people be interested in your life, but at a certain point, you have to ask yourself where you draw the line. And if the demands on your time and privacy are worth it.

Great post.

@ Mike Goad: “For those who persevere with blogging, I think that it comes down to reaching some sort of balance” – I completely agree. I think every blogger struggles with achieving this balance.

@ Robin: Sounds like a great plan! And I’m glad I could help. Yes, I wrote 2 guest posts for Zen Habits.

@ Elli: You’re very welcome. Glad I helped.

Wow, thank you so much Vered! This post of yours has actually inspired me to take a whole lot of action on my blog and in turn has made me realize several things about my own blogging habits that will be very useful in the future.

Cheers,

Elli

Hi Vered – me again. You know “slow food” – that way of cooking and eating where you do it really slowly? Well I am going to start “slow blogging” – I have decided this weekend (it’s Sunday here) to just do one post a month! For a few months, anyway. I don’t know how it will go – but I have to do it. I am feeling so excited at the prospect of all the things I can do now – offline things (we have a business idea I haven’t been doing) and even behind the scenes networking things to do with my blog. So thanks for this post! – it helped me clarify things. (BTW – re Tess – you had a guest post on ZH once, didn’t you?)

Finally getting through my reading. It may be a week or so before I get another chance.

I didn’t read super close nor did I click on the links as I have limited time right now.

As always, though, this is a kind of interesting topic.

For those who persevere with blogging, I think that it comes down to reaching some sort of balance with blogging in their life with everything else in their life — and it’s going to be something different for each individual. Others become overwhelmed or just lose interest.

Thanks for the mention of my blog.
