Find Your Perfect Input/Output Time Balance
Posted by junger - 09/20/07 at 09:09:36 pmHow much time you spend taking in information online? Reading blogs, checking your email, surfing YouTube …
How much time do you spend creating content? Writing blogs, shooting video, editing copy …
If you're like me, it goes in ebbs and flows. Sometimes your inspiration is working overtime, and you're constantly creating content with no time to check those RSS feeds.
Sometimes you're reading and absorbing information from everywhere, and not getting a single word into that WordPress blog.
There is a middle ground. You just need to find it.
I've recently stopped keeping my email open nonstop. It's been great. I'm getting more things done with less anxiousness about incoming mail.
I'm currently checking my email every 30 minutes, and I hope to have that out to once an hour by next week.
It's going to force me to cut down the number of RSS feeds I check, which is good. Taking in information is extremely important — but only when it's relevant to you. If you're not going to learn anything from it — or be easily entertained — why are you spending time with it?
Don't waste time thinking of things to do. Plan ahead so you know what you're doing, and you'll maximize your output, giving you the right amount of time for your input.
