I mean, seriously, I’m not reading any blogs right now, I’m way too busy with holiday stuff. I’m willing to bet the same applies to you.
Even if I do see a post I want to read, I simply bookmark it for later rather than drop everything and read it now.
And long posts? Don’t even get me started. I set out to read many a post and, seeing its long, just bookmark it for later. I don’t have that kind of time, people, I have stuff to sell, gifts to buy, etc!
I’ve been trying to write a few posts this month even though I’m busy and it feels like a total waste of time because I’m pretty sure everyone is too busy to do much reading.
So I am making this post super short in the hopes that you may actually read this and I want to know…
- What are your blog reading habits during a really busy month like this?
- Are you reading but just don’t have time to comment?
Thanks for taking a second to reply, I am really curious!

I read, not having time to read is a mindset and organization issue. I like to be in charge of my life rather than have my life in charge of me. I schedule, both work and down time. It is important to schedule relaxation or your job performance suffers. I prefer reading writing or sewing to watching TV.
My reader figures go down every December too. I don't comment unless I have something to say.
Time's up! Gotta go do livestock chores.
What I find really interesting about your comment, Henrietta, is that you consider reading blogs as part of your fun which is, 100% honestly, an angle to this I never considered.
To me reading blogs is part of my “job” and part of my “work” because its doing research for my company, like taking a class or similar. I do enjoy writing blog posts (when I have the time to do so) but even so I don’t really consider them “fun” per say.
Where I was going with this was…with all the work I have to do, reading blogs seems the least important so I will push it off for another month if it means I can have some fun. But I guess if blogs are your fun, your relaxation time, that makes it a totally different situation.
