My Routine for 12 Hour Work Day: Travel Blogger Version

 

Me, working or...?

 

Wake up in the morning without a noisy alarm clock. One of the best changes from my previous routine. I love it.

 

Make some tea. Preferably strong one; Pu’er green/ dark or black tea.

 

Check my email from Gmail, and also I have an email application from Mac, which contains 5 other email accounts.

 

In the mean time, open up Facebook and Hootsuite to check my social networking updates.

 

Open up BBC to check the news world-wide. Or check their twitter account.

 

Check the comments I got on Runaway Juno and reply them. Also check my other websites.

 

Tweeting appreciation messages of the retweets and reply all the tweets using Hootsuite.

 

Check the notifications from Facebook.

 

Reading others’ blog posts on Hootsuite and one thing lead to another, I’m swimming in the sea of interweb.

 

Thinking, ‘I have things to do!’ and get back to work.

 

Read RSS feed on my email that delivered from travel companies, fellow travel bloggers, and other resource websites. And retweet them on Twitter.

 

Check the notifications from Facebook.

 

While checking my emails, check the updates from Pinterest and Pin it some more because it’s sort of fun.

 

And I remember I have to log in to Skype for my friends.

 

Reply emails.

 

Open up Google analytics to check my stats for the clients.

 

While I’m on the right Google account, check my Google+ and hang out there some more, because I need to maintain it as well as my other social networks.

 

Update photos to Flickr.

 

Check the notifications from Facebook.

 

Tweeting some more.

 

Check my YouTube account for comments and check how many views I got from the latest video.

 

Suddenly, I get inspired by something-someone and start getting all these ideas about everything. Searching for the information online and make a huge pile of the lists.

 

Check my calendar and to-do list to not miss anything that I suppose to do. And realized that I forgot something from few days ago.

 

Try to make blog posts for my blog; get photos from Flicker, copy and paste from the word document. And during the process, I get distracted by other tabs that open and forget what I was doing. I have more than 10 tabs open on my Google Chrome.

 

While I forgot what I was doing, check the notifications from Facebook.

 

Tweeting some more.

 

Finally get back to what I was doing and finished the blog posts that took me few hours to finish. Whoa!

 

Posting this via Su.pr.

 

Updating the post on Facebook and Hootsuite. And check my blog status while I’m at it.

 

I get new email. Check them and reply it.

 

And, check the notifications from Facebook.

 

 

And repeat.

 

 

12 work day is flying fast. Oh the life I walked into.

 

Sounds familiar?
