How do you do it with a kid on the way? Its got to be hard enough just managing the better half and trying not to get killed.

Blogging at 1:00am, you’ve got some serious stamina.

Darren,
My first entry I apologize mis-pronouncing your name Darren and listing it as Darrell. Something I myself dislike very much when it happens to me. I am reading both of your blog entries on the same day so I hope you will forgive me. Congradulations on having a little one around. I think it’s why we do what we do. Family is everything.

When everything looks the bleakest family can really lift your spirits well worth the effort and time. Being an at home Dad also I would imagine helps V with having to go to work even if she loves her job. It’s nice to have one parent at home. It’s great to hear how successful it is. Just can’t thank enough for all you do with problogger content.

Thanks again,
Pamela

I think it would be great to hear a version of your day now that you have a little one around. Working from home while maintaining a relationship, spouse, kids etc is something I’m sure a lot of people struggle with.

[...] The first person I contacted was Darren Rowse of ProBlogger. He actually made a blog post a while ago where he wrote out a typical day in his life. I’d quote the post, but it’s very detailed and would make this blog post huge, so I highly recommend you read the post here. There’s a couple things I would like to quote from that post though, and here they are : 3.30pm – Break Time. My worst time of the day for thinking clearly about anything at all is mid afternoon and so unless I’m very busy I tend to take this time off. I put my computer to sleep and generally either have a sleep myself, do some gardening, get out with my camera and do some photography, take a walk or catch up with a friend. [...]

[...] One of the best educations you can get on blogging, building traffic and earning a few buck from blogging can be found at Darren Rowse’s Problogger site. You can literally spend days there learning how to blog. If you have any questions about how to increase your traffic this is the first place to go. Again, Darren has taught me so much it’s hard to pinpoint specific post but here are two that I’ve bookmarked because they inspire me; 18 Lessons I’ve Learnt About Blogging and (Another) Day in the Life of a Problogger. Thank you Darren! Last, but not at all least, is someone who isn’t as well known as the above bloggers, (I could be wrong), but who deserves to be, Lorelle VanFossen. When I thought to thank all the bloggers who helped me get started; Lorelle is the first who comes to mind. She is the most thorough, thoughtful and prolific teacher of all things about blogging and WordPress that I’ve have come across on the Net. Her two main areas of focus are improving blog traffic and blog quality (e.g. the writing). Lorelle cares more about the quality of blogs than anyone else does. For example, in the article The 12 Biggest Problems with Your Blogs, Lorelle taught me that my site had poor navigation since my single post view had no site navigation other than the next and previous posts. A seemingly small tweak to your site to fix something like this will help your readers stay longer. Another great example of what Lorelle teaches is The Top Ten Clues That You Are an Amateur Blogger. Thank you Lorelle! [...]

IHi Darren,

Your day seems to be very well ordered and structured even if you don’t always stick to the plan. Although this may not be recommended for people who are stuck in a 9 to 5 mentality. The life of a pro blogger or full time marketer can be a 20 hour day and one which you hit extreme highs as well as the lowest lows all in a days work.

I enjoyed this, Darren. It has its good and bad points vs. a regular 9-to-5 job. You have flexibility and are your own boss, but it’s truly a 24-hour job and your worries/work don’t end strictly at 5-6 PM like at a regular job.

The other thing is while newsfeeds are wonderful, it’s sounding more like a chore than anything. I think we may be unintentionally cluttering up our lives by having so many sources and things to keep track of. At some point, you have to ask if it’s worth the trouble. :) But this is coming from someone with ~70 feeds, a large content site, and forum.

Do you ever get to a gym or workout? I need to discipline myself more to do that. I find it makes you sleep better and also rejuvenates you for the rest of the day. Also, it can give you time to think about new ideas and can be a crucial moment of thought and reflection. Cheers, Darren.

Actually the idea that you use Darren of having a startup folder is great. I use Maxthon which is an alternate front end for Internet Explorer and this offers tabbed browsing much like Firefox.

The way that I use the tabbed browsers is that I have a news folder, a blogging folder and internet marketing folder and more like that. So when I get up I just open up Maxthon and open the folder for affiliate marketing and this way I can log onto amazon, Clickbank, Adsense, AdWords and Chitika all in tabs and when done close them all at once.

The advantage of this system to me is that I can focus on one part of the business at a time and then move on without getting hung up on that topic.

I have never used bloglines but instead post out of SharpReader or RSS Bandit directly to movable type using the quickpost right click thingy.
