To Bruce,

I felt like looking into the mirror while reading your comment. Myself, I am crowned PROCRASTINATE_QUEEN !! with my life as a blogger and my real life. It’s not I don’t have real interest into sharing what’s running within my head. It’s just on the very moment, I feel like doing else things too. I suppose I’m easily losing focus. I ended having many unpublished DRAFTS. Of course I know I should change this bad habit. Lately, I’m trying to take back the fame I used to have among my peers. ( I see them calling for me on forum and else place and it’s breaking my heart. ) So I tried to post something, just anything everyday or so to create myself a habit. ( I created a special category for its sake: random chatting ) Hopefully, I’ll win over my procrastination, slowly but surely.

Good luck to whoever needs it. Fighting !!

I too suffer from this problem. I built a fairly successful site a while back which was not really a blog but a content site. Well I kept putting off updating the site and after a while my traffic fell off and along with it the positions I had managed to develop in the search engines. Well, I've recentyl decided to try and pull the site back up so I will need to remember my lessons from before and make sure I keep the content fresh every day. I'll bookmark this post so I can use it for inspiration.</p> <p>Bruce</p> Its funny that I ran across this post. I too suffer from this problem.

I like the way you put it… I’m going to try to remember that!

Procrastination is an old friend who supplies the pressure I seem to need to be able to write. ;)
