I think that this was a long time coming. Freelancing, although it can be fruitful for paid freelancers, can be very bad if you aren’t paid at all to make a company like AOL millions. The Huff Post exploits this.

Re: Twitter

I’ve been using Twitter for almost a week now. I don’t mind it, but I don’t follow hundreds of people. The conversation gets diluted if you do so. I do read hundreds of blogs and about a thousand of blog posts a day, so maybe that’s why I think that way.

Just like reading feeds, it’ll take a while before I find a balance in the people I follow. I like how minimal the interface is and how simple it is compared to Facebook. I rarely log into FB anymore and I only do so if I have to contact someone through that service.

I’ve noticed that some users tend to spam you. Once they do so, I unfollow them immediately.

Mentally Drained

I feel a bit out of it.

I’ve got another article to finish for tomorrow. It’s completed, but it must be formatted with HTML tags and the like.

I had misread the rules of a contest to become a guest author on another blog/magazine. I thought that it was only a proposal, when it was actually an article. At least the article was short, but formatting it once again took a little while. I just finished a short while ago and I feel like a zombie.

I think that I’m going to have to stick with a strict routine in order to GTD. I usually do my writing in the morning or at night.

Writing posts and articles everyday for money is hard work.
