As full-time employees, a good part of our day is taken up by work. Add in sleep and trying to have some sort of life with family and friends, there often isn’t a lot of time to devote to our blogs.
This means we have to pick and choose when we work on our blogs. Some people may decide the weekend is the best time for working bulk on their blog, while others choose to spread the work out during the week. Is one way better than the other? Each has their pros and cons.
