Blogging and Life Balance- Nadine Hill

Juggle Mum, Nadine Hill will be leading the “Blog-Life Balance” workshop at CyberMummy11. Held in the second afternoon session of the day, Nadine has some valuable lessons to teach us all about making blogging fit into your day to day life. She’s looking for a case study from the wealth of bloggers out there. Do you fit the bill? Here’s what Nadine has to say…

Do you ever say “I don’t have time”?

Do you have loads of blogging ideas but no time to get them down?

Do you feel like you are taking time away from your family to blog and this isn’t what you wanted?

If you would like to take part in a case study to be featured at CyberMummy 2011, let me know in a comment on the BMB Network.

I’m running an afternoon workshop at CyberMummy 2011 called “The Blog Life Balance”.  It will address the issues of how to find time to blog whilst juggling a busy life, and how to get your blogging done in an efficient way to save time as well!!

The 50 minute session will give the attendees plenty of practical tips to take away so they can fit blogging into their busy lives rather than trying to fit their busy lives around blogging.  Or worse – not blogging at all because they don’t have the time!!

I’m looking for one case study of a person who feels disorganised and needs a structure, or even someone who feels very organised but they still don’t seem to get time to blog!  I will work with this person one to one, privately to coach them through whatever their time obstacles are.  This will take place over several weeks, and we can have 1 phone call each week with email support at other times to work out how to find the time for this person to blog.

The person must be willing to allow their story to be used in my workshop at CyberMummy, to show the other attendees how we resolved the time issues and therefore how they could too.

If you want to be considered, just leave me a message on the BMB Network with an overview of your time related issue and one person will be picked from the list.  If you don’t want to be used as a case study yourself but are interested in this discussion, give me an indication below of what kind of case study you would prefer to see, ie: someone disorganised or someone organised but still having challenges, so I can try to choose a case study to work with who fits the bill of what most people want to see.

To be the case study candidate you DON’T need to be attending CyberMummy although it would be great if you were!  However you do need to allow your story to be used at CyberMummy 2011 in this workshop as a learning tool.

The timetable for this case study:

* I will choose one case study candidate on Monday 11th April from the comments on the BMB Network.

* The candidate will be asked to observe their daily activity for 2 weeks and write down 1 or 2 points each evening on what their day was like (so we have an idea of the challenges)

* I will coach them during May 2011 (w/c 2nd, w/c 9th and w/c 16th) to implement some solutions

* Then I can write up the project notes to present at CyberMummy on 25th June!
