I’m giving up the addiction. Ok, I might not really be hooked but I am realizing that I spend a lot of time on social networking sites, analyzing stats on Google Analytics, and sinking into the forums of Flickr. As a mom and business owner, I constantly am looking for ways to have more time. So I’m doing an experiment of sorts. August is looking to be my busiest month ever since I started my photography business so I figure it’s a good time to start.
For the month of August I will not:
- Visit the Flickr forums
- Go to Facebook more than once a day
- Check out other photographers’ websites
- Spend more than 15 minutes on Twitter each
- Analyze my site stats (no google rank checks, no analytics number reading, no statpress)
I will:
- Blog every day
- Work like crazy to keep up with processing all my clients images, and designing albums
Will I get a lot more of my core work accomplished in less time? How much online networking is enough to keep a business presence but not interfere with work? Will blogging everyday really improve my SEO and add to my RSS readers? Check back in September to see how it goes.

Bold and Brave! Power to you

These sound like some great goals Jessica. I don’t think I could only check Facebook one time a day, or spend less than an hour on Twitter search, but if you can pull it off I’ll be impressed!
Can’t wait to see how it goes. How about a daily update on your progress?
