I’m not
one to change my behavior based on statistics. But I recently read a really
disturbing one that you’d better believe is gonna alter some choices around
here.
A
blogger is supposed to spend 20% of her time on content and 80% of her time on
marketing/social media.
Argh. I
have been doing the exact opposite of
this statistic. If the exact opposite looks more like a 98/2% split. How is it
that statistics are still tripping me up when I’m this far out of college and
not regularly skipping the 8 a.m. statistics class?!
I never
did fix my statistics problem in college, although I did start attending class.
This happened after my dad had a heart-to-heart with me and explained the basic
economics of college. He did this in terms his
fashion-crazy, math-impaired daughter could understand. He said, “Every college
class you skip is like throwing away a pair of Guess jeans.”
Basically,
he scared me straight. Just like the effect this blogging statistic is having
on me right now! I may start featuring more photos and short commentary. Or
maybe I’ll post less frequently, just while I get up and running with this
whole “remember to check Facebook more than once in a blue moon” schedule. I
promise you my social media strategy is much more comprehensive than just this
item. Probably.
So it
may take some time. I appreciate you guys sticking with me and still checking
the guru girl page, despite the fact that I won’t be blasting you every other
day.
This
social media task has to be like focusing on a muscle you’re not used to
working. Yes, when you’ve spent a winter being a couch potato, doing a billion
situps is a painful time suck. But it’s worth it when you’re able to slip on
that pair of Guess jeans you’ve saved from college, right?
What
life-enriching task have you been putting off? I can’t be the only one here who is this
set in her ways. For you, is it cleaning the basement? (Although I don’t know if
this qualifies as exactly life-enriching.) Filing that mass of paperwork? Taking
that Zumba class? Do tell!
I've been putting off meditating. And journaling. And yoga. And taking out the trash.
ReplyDeleteI know you've been putting off taking out the trash, TN1970, as trashcans are among the many items we share, including others, like bank accounts and kids.
