I need Servants
Another post done on my blog. The first one for about 3 weeks.
Hopefully it gets indexed quickly.
Over the Xmas break I felt I was just getting into the rhythm of writing fluently after about 4 or 5 1000+ word posts. Yesterday's effort was done in about 3 or 4 hours for 1260 words. I am not sure it flows as well as it should. But happy I have it out there.
I read a lot of the posts put up by those I follow or follow me, and I do a mental critique, some are laser focused, some flow with a rhythm of contentment or happiness, some with anecdotes of their day, others looking for help. The planners or dreamers. The ones complaining about something can be dark and deep or level-headed. All of them give me some reflection on the mood of the person writing them.
All these wide-ranging expressions and I look at my self. I have had a car at a mates place for about the last 12 mths, and with this holiday break I decided to go and bring it home, big powerful car, and there I am on the speed limit. ( I've mellowed ). Once, I would push the boundaries 10 k over at least.
My work is more frustrating than challenging. I have often said I am just a little economic robot. Maybe now I am a frustrated economic robot. Too many bosses over me, but I am the one who manages what happens on the site, putting up with the crap from above and below.
Obviously our personalities flow through in our writing on our blogs, where we are pushing a narrative with an opinion, unlike say, old school Journalism, where you just dealt with the narrative.
I am not sure that I like what I am putting out there,writing is supposed to impart a feel, I think with mine, impatience, frustration, maybe fatigue, the standard of dialogue and it's flow, verbosity, would all show through.
Even though on the day's I don't write I try to set up a structure, headline, paragraph headings, put little notes into paragraphs. I do these things to help speed up my writing.
Then comes the day when I have time to put it all together and I am thinking of all the other things that need doing, lawn needs mowing, house needs cleaning, need to buy food, wash clothes.
Prioritizing, I am supposed to be an expert at it.
I have WA as the most important thing relevant to my future, yet I am putting all the minor stuff first.
I think I need servants.
Have a safe and happy easter everyone.

I recommend Jerry Huang's post on outsourcing. I just hired a sales guy this way and I'm working on a writer next, then a "fulfilments officer" to handle ads and WP maintenance.
Good luck and happy easter! Hiring Writer Like a PRO Even If You've Never Hired Before
Indeed it's very important to set up priority, not easy though either for me, I'm spending the majority of my time with WA, and I have a thousand other things to do that I have to neglect and I feel bad, I wish I could do things faster, for example when I'm writing article it takes me quite bit to finish it.
Anyway, Happy Easter.
