As the title says, this is my last postaday2011 post. I have decided to stop the postaday2011 challenge for a number of reasons. I am currently writing up my PhD thesis, with all the work I have to do for my thesis, writing a new post every day is becoming a bit too much. Also, I want this blog to focus a bit more on quality and less on quantity. Finally, the time it takes to write a post every day means that I have recently not been able to visit and comment on other people’s blogs. There are many great blogs out there and I think it only fair to give them the time other people give mine.
Since starting the postaday2011 challenge on the 1st January, I have managed a total of 68 posts. Thanks to everyone that has visited my blog during this time and left comments. From now on, I aim to post on this blog around four times a week (perhaps Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday). I hope that you continue to visit.
Ya did good, Michael. I burnt out long before you did. Are you thinking of going postaweek? I am doing that now and the pressure is wayyyyyy less. I hope you are not thinking of leaving blogging. You’re too much fun and have such a unique and refreshing perspective on things.
Oops, I didn’t see the rest of your post. I thought it was the shorty that was displayed in the email notice. Glad you will be with us regularly
I hope to still post four time a week. I will see how that goes.
Please let me know how your thesis is doing: jackiepaulson8@yahoo.com
I am so excited for you and that does take priority over this. Keep on keeping on~ Best of luck Jackie~ ” I will be back”
Thanks, hopefully my thesis should not take too long now (I have been saying this for a while though).
haha awwh! okies
i hope you do well!! work hard
!! you can do it
OF COURSE i will continue to visit your blog!! love it very much
i enjoy reading your posts
perhaps postaweek!
Yep, I have started using the postaweek2011 tags.
Thanks, I promise to check your blog more often too!
Aww.. of course schooling comes first
Will look forward to when you do post!
Good luck on your PhD thesis!
Thanks, I hope to post a few time a week still.
Good luck on the thesis!!
Thanks
Awwww > . < This is what life is! Busy, busy and busy. Your blog is very great and I really enjoy reading it.
Hope you to focus more on your thesis first, of course, and to have great results!
Good job so far and good call now. I too would pick quality of quantity. Good luck with your thesis. Hope to see a post from you every now and then
oops I meant to write over* and not of quantity
Don’t worry, I will be sure to keep posting.
yup, at times posting daily can be a drag, especially if you are a perfectionist. My last couple posts ain’t quality at all, but I decided to stick with my commitment and post everyday *cross fingers*. when I run out of time, most likely it will be video, or pictures, or random useless stuff.
. I will still visit from time to time, too!
But thesis is really a big deal and you should concentrate on that
Good luck with postaday! I look forward to continue reading your “random useless stuf”
!
Good luck with your thesis, and I don’t blame you for prioritising your time. I’m lucky that my time is more or less my own, but I do have days where I can’t spend as much time as I would like on my posts and I end up just posting something for the sake of it so I can fulfill my postaday2011 commitment.
I look forward to your future posts though. I have found you very thought provoking and entertaining so far and you are far too good to give up writing completely.
Thanks for your lovely comment.
I am finding this a little late – but can completely sympathize. I am struggling with the daily commitment so I get the part about having the time to read and engage with other great bloggers, and the danger of quantity over quality.
Kudos and making what must have been a tough decision. Here is wishing you all the very best with you PhD!
Thanks, I am a little less busy now so will try and do a bit more blogging from now.
