I want your opinion!

5:41am, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, Thursday morning, March 31, 2022. I have been fiddling with the headline for this blog the last couple of days. Today I changed it to “an ongoing quest to overcome stress and live the best life possible.” That is the fifth iteration of the change. It might stick for a while. (What about “eradicate stress?”) Last Friday, I scheduled a post for Saturday morning instead of publishing it on the spot. The reason being I had been writing around this time (5:30am) and wanted to remain consistent. But I wonder if it matters? Does anyone care if they get a post at a specific time? Does consistency make you more likely to read? The other issue I am contemplating is having the time, date and place stamp at the beginning of each post. Personally, I like knowing the circumstances when something was written, but it comes with a price. The punch of the first line, which is really the only hook for someone to read, it compromised. Also, it is confusing on a post that is scheduled to publish later. I am working on solutions but, figured I would ask for your thoughts. Do you have any suggestions, comments, feelings (about these topics or others)? Anything you would like to see more of? Less of? I want your opinion! It means a lot that you take the time to subscribe, read, like and and share the content of this site. If I can make your experience more enjoyable please feel free to let me know. Thank you, Mike

  1. I definitely think the time you post is an important factor.
    I live in Europe and there first thing I want to do, is post. But usually I see much less traffic, because the US is asleep.
    Though Asia, Australia, Africa and Europe should be awake, it is not my main source of visitors.

    So usually the later I post in the afternoon (European time), the better my post will perform.
    If that makes sense 😅
