Stop Checking Your Stats

Jump to Comments

If you’re still scrabbling around for a New Year’s resolution try this one for size. Stop checking your blog stats so often and use that new found time to do something else.

Rather than firing up your browser and logging on to see how many new visits you’ve had in the past half hour, write something instead. Start a draft, finish a draft. Treat stats checking as a fidget and stop doing it. There are good reasons to check your stats, but try to set a specific time of the day to check them. It doesn’t even have to be every day.

No prizes for guessing what one of my resolutions is going to be.
