We are now in our sixth year of publishing daily on the blog. This has been my strategy to avoid becoming a slave to it.

After 5 years of posting every day, one could say that I have become a slave to my blog. Typically, one of the first tasks of my day before the office fills up with people is to get the post out so that I don't have to do it when everyone is already on top of me asking me questions every now and then.

Giving everyone a helping hand is not always possible
Over time, I have gradually taken the pressure off of myself that comes with this pace of publication. I base myself on three pillars:
I write about whatever comes to mind at the moment . Everything japan phone number is based on my experience with my own projects or those of clients. Sometimes something comes out better, other times something worse. I don't seek perfection. I'm more committed to consistency.
I am not available to everyone . I would like to be able to reach out to everyone and spend an hour on the phone with someone who needs “guidance” but for most things a Google search is more effective than talking to me on the phone.
I focus communication on a few channels . If you are interested in contacting me because you need help, I understand that you have to make it easy for me. It is not a question of trying to make things easy for you. If you send me a message on Facebook Messenger, it is unlikely that I will respond.
This may sound a bit harsh when bloggers are supposed to be the volunteer helpers of the entire world who are passionate about nothing else but helping others selflessly. Don't get me wrong.
Giving a hand is not a problem when you have the feeling that the person has already tried everything in their own ways and resources. What I don't like is when they want to make you work because someone is not willing to invest the time to do their own research. Even if this is not the case, it is not always possible to help everyone.
