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.
