Do you ever get burned out blogging?

    I just want to ask do you take a break from blogging where you just don't think about it and come back energized with new ideas, or is blogging constantly in your mind where you even have a blackberry or other devices to check your blog from remote places?

    I love what I am doing but sometimes I just feel like not even looking at the laptop but then an hour later i can post like crazy if not bothered, I think the longest i went without blogging was one week.

    I do get that feeling every once in a while but I often get myself back in the game after doing something fun. I just tell myself... this is money coming in... so I shouldn't waste time. Think of things that you want to save up for. That should motivate you to keep on blogging.

    Well I am seeing progress now after two months with my site and I have learned a lot more, I am always motivated even with the little things like a couple more visitors so I'm trying to set a schedule now to get away, play my PS3, talk to my wife (yeah she doesn't like me on the computer much lol)

    anyways thanks for the reply

    Yes and no. Sometimes I might take a months break from posting an article, but I would not consider that burnt out. I do 2 different types of blogging - text and video. Over the past 25 months I have posted over 320 videos on youtube. So I might take a break from writing articles to post videos. Or I might take a break from videos to post some text articles.

    Something I try to do, I'll take a few weeks, film some videos and get them posted on youtube. During that time I might not post a single text article. But once the videos have been posted, I'll write up an article and use the videos as content.

    So if I get tired of writing articles, I'll do some video blogging. When I get tired of videos, I'll go back, write some articles and use the videos as content. That keeps things changed up quit a bit.

    When I feel burned out. I do a blog post about post on another blog, interviews, and list post about whatever comes to mind.

    Yes, but that's why I have a social life so as not to get bored with my online life.

    I think my biggest problem is I've tackled too much....too many blogs for instance. And then something else catches my interest and I start another

    So the articles, etc for the old sites don't get done. And that's not good as it is the older sites that have established traffic and where most of the money comes from.

    And then I think about all the articles, etc I should be writing, get totally overwhelmed and end up doing nothing.....not good
