I’ve Been Slacking…

Jun 16, 2022

Maintaining a blog is a lot of hard work, ask any blogger of any niche. Maintaining a YouTube channel is a lot of hard work as well. The time and energy you spend editing videos, making thumbnails, etc. is absolutely crazy. Juggling a blog AND a YouTube channel at the same time…is insane! On top of a full-time job, it’s a miracle I’m still standing.

All this to say, it gets to be a bit overwhelming at times. My full-time job as a social worker keeps me very busy as is. And although I love my blog and YouTube channel, it can be a lot trying to balance the two into a full schedule. Sometimes, I just need a break.

I’ve been noticing that I’ve been taking more and more breaks from my blog and YouTube channel. Breaks are great and well needed. When I need or want a break, I take a break. However, it’s getting a little bit out of hand.

Sort of like when you need a break from working out because your muscles are still sore and you need to rest them before reworking them again, only you keep extending that “rest” period. Before you know it, a whole 2 months have gone by and you haven’t worked out.

That’s what’s been happening with me. I’ve been taking these breaks but they’ve been getting longer and longer. Even when I felt refreshed and motivated to write a blog post or edit a video, I decided not to just because I didn’t feel like it.

Consistency is key to building up your blog and channel, and I knew I needed to be consistent again. But I can’t help it. Every time I come back from my vacation or weekend getaway, I struggle to get back into the swing of things.

I will be traveling again in July. Only then will I take my next break to go on my vacation. Until then, I’m trying to be more consistent with my content. I’m going to be consistent with posting new blog posts and uploading new vlogs for my channel. At least until I take my next trip. That way, I create content, I’m way more productive, and I’m able to relax once all that work is done.
