Darren Rowse of Problogger.net fame, recently posed an interesting question to his viewership titled ‘How Long Do You Take to Write a Blog Post 0 ‘. Of the over 300 comments, most bloggers stated that it’s take about 1 hour per post. Personally, it takes about the same, if you consider the research time involved.
With this in mind, I have recently added a new tool to my work flow, KuKu Klok . The KuKu Klok is an online alarm clock, which can be used for many different purposes. One of cool features of the KuKu Klok is that once it has been set, it works even if you are offline (Who is ever ‘offline’ ?).
For my blogging purposes, I now set the clock for one hour at the beginning of my writing workflow, starting when I initiate the research process. This is important for me, since I have a tendency to ‘get lost’ while researching. Flipping back to the clock tab is a handy reminder to re-focus on my original topic.
I have also started to use this tool while writing my grad papers, and before my daily ’surfing’ habit. Yes, I could just use my Timex Ironman w/Flix Technology , but that would be too easy. I save it for tracking running times, shopping trips, and daily commutes.
