There Is No Embarrassment In Slowing Your Blogging Pace Down

Back in the early 2000s, it was normal for a blogger to publish content on their blog daily.

Today, some bloggers are risking burnout by blogging daily (The times have changed as well as the way in which people write blog posts; the average blog post today is longer and more detailed than the average blog post of yesteryear).

For the record, there is nothing at all wrong with blogging daily; if you possess above-average levels of mental and physical energy, you might as well go for it.

However, if you have noticed that you are seriously struggling to write a blog post daily, you should consider blogging less; for example, blogging a few days a week or weekly.

You Of All People Should Know What Is Right For You

Dear friend, you should not be doing something because everyone else is doing it; you should partake in it because it feels right to you (And, the same thing applies to blogging).

If you usually find yourself drifting off to sleep when you are in the middle of putting a blog post together, you are probably tired or bored (That is a clear indicator that daily blogging is not right for you).

Also, if blogging on the whole has become somewhat overbearing for you, there is a high probability of you being desperately in need of a hiatus.

Burnout Is Preventable

Yes, my friend, burnout is preventable.

If you have been working two jobs, you will most likely be mentally and physically exhausted.

Therefore, throwing blogging into the mix is going to feel like an added burden.

For the record, you can still blog, but you will have to do it in moderation; in a case like this, I would recommend publishing content on your blog weekly or fortnightly.

If you attempt to blog daily while holding down two jobs, you are going to fall flat on your face (Realistically, you do not have the mental and physical energy that is required of you to blog daily).

The Length Of Your Blog Posts Could Be Your Life-Saver Or Your Downfall

Theoretically, you could get away with blogging daily if your posts were in the form of short-form content.

However, you would be asking for trouble by filling your blog daily with long-form content.

Every writer on the face of the Earth knows that it requires way more time and effort to write long-form content.

Besides, most of the bloggers who create long-form content for their blogs usually publish them weekly, fortnightly or monthly (Not daily).

Is The Quality Of Your Blog Posts Suffering Because Of The Very Short Time Frame That You Have Available For Putting Them Together?

The God’s/Goddess’s truth is that there are few people who can blog daily without negatively affecting the quality of their work.

Whereas, a large percentage of bloggers would have a very hard time maintaining that all-important high quality.

What every blogger should take into consideration is that when human beings are mentally and physically drained, it requires way more effort for them to create high-quality blog posts.

Therefore, slowing one’s blogging pace down and getting an adequate amount of rest, will work in their favour (They have less chance of jeopardizing the quality of their blog posts if they are well-rested).

Get A Well-Trusted Blogging Friend To Help You Out (Optional)

If your mental and physical energy is a bit low, you can ask a well-trusted blogging friend to help you out (That, of course, will be in the form of being a contributor to your blog).

Do you know anyone who would be willing to be a guest author on your blog?

If your answer to that question is, “Yes,” you might want to work on putting that plan into action.

The Bottom Line

If you end up burning yourself out by creating and publishing more blog posts than average, you may end up resenting blogging.

So, for the sake of remaining in love with blogging, it would be in your best interest to slow your blogging pace down.

There is really no need for you to bite off more than you can actually chew (You will only end up suffering the consequences for it).
