First SEO Tip! (Always have fresh content)

My blog has been neglected for quite a long time now – juts more than a year!!  Even though I know that I have to update my blog regularly in order to keep a good search engine ranking, it is just not as big a priority as the rest of the things in my life.

I find it quite sad, as I easily maintained a 4/10 Page Rank while my blog was still hosted with Wordpress.  However, since moving to my own domain I found it is hard work to get your ranking up, and keep it there!

My work definitely eats the biggest chunk of my day, on top of that I spend quite a lot of time in traffic each day, I have to cook and clean and wash and iron and shop…. and the list goes on.

There are always friends who I need to see, and even that, I don’t do regularly enough.

In my eyes this list pretty much fills up my time, and I cannot fathom how to fit in an extra hour for blogging each day.  Strange thing I noticed though, was that I have some friends who manage to do everything which I do, and more, and they STILL have free time left?

I wonder whether these people ever sleep?  Do they even just take a break, drink a cup of coffee, and read an article in the news paper?  I don’t know, but they’re doing something drastically different from me.

Maybe I should try to take power naps instead of sleeping a whole 8hrs each night?  Maybe I should start combining some of my chores?  Not sure if that would be such a good idea, as we might end up with tile cleaner in the dinner stew…

If you have any advise which works for you, or seem plausible, feel free to share, as I’m extremely frustrated due to the lack of time in my days!

Smoke Break

SmokingOften I have felt that it is extremely unfair for people who smoke. They get to have smoke breaks all the time, while non-smokers have to work. It might seem a bit strange for a non-smoker to stand on the balcony just for the fun of it, but if its a smoker, its OK.

I suppose its better that way, and I really wouldn’t want them smoking inside, but it would be nice to be able to have a break every now and then, but then people can call you inside any time. However if they see that you’re smoking, they understand immediately that you NEED YOUR BREAK. Suddenly they find nothing wrong with it that you spend so much more time doing nothing that the rest of us.

To get a bit technical, suppose a smoker smokes 6 cigarettes a day (at work) – which I have found to be average for the people I know? Help me right if I’m wrong – they would typically spend 7 minutes outside for the whole little procedure (5minutes is just too short, and 10 too long). That would mean that smokers have 42 minutes which they spend, tending to their dirty little habit – while the rest of us are working!

I’m not jealous of smoking though, and I suppose they do need their perks too – besides, they will live shorter than the rest of us, so maybe I just need to understand too. And let them have their little breaks. While they can still enjoy it :)
