If my website was down ...
Sunday was my website below for about 24 hours. I'm not 100% sure why, but in my hosting company, there is a problem with the domain name was and the server is too narrow. I am confused about the reason for still and will soon be switching companies because of what has occurred. There is no reason why should "expire" my domain name when I have paid for 10 years for it or when it comes to the renewal it stops at the right place showing.
How did I find out about this terrible incident? During the trip through the Whitsunday Islands in Australia, I checked Twitter, when I got to the front desk and found myself with messages to the problem alert me bombed. I had my cell phone to spend all credit my hosting company calling to find out why it took over my side. After some excuses to cover herself, my site was by the time I met again land on again.
But this was no way to enjoy a vacation. How could I enjoy the last day of my sailing trip when all I can think of was how I needed to see the problem or if my site up would get back to land to solve. It's a buzzkill.
What back to the age-old debate brings work and travel balances me. As I mentioned in a previous post, there are many things you can do to try to balance the workload and ensure that neither work nor travel takes all your time. But lately, I have found that I. Problems with the balancing act
a travel blog running is a lot of work. No matter what the purpose of your website, there is to post pictures, write tweets to Twitter, blogs, and RSS-reading. Even those who can spend hours a day caring for their website as a hobby blog.
I blog not as a hobby. Nomadic Matt pays my bills - it keeps me on the street, bought my plane tickets, and puts food on my table. Without my website, I have no income, and I would have to come back into the cabin. And honestly, I have no desire to do that. If your travel blog is your business, there is much more work than to do what I mentioned above, and, lately, the work has begun to dominate my life.
In the next two months, I plan to launch two new e-books, make my site and rebuild a guide section, the world in over 60 destinations covering backpacking. These projects are very time consuming and lately I have found that working or traveling suffers when I need to do one or the other.
When my website was down, I have learned the invaluable lesson that right now, I can 't do both. I can not socialize every day and at night when trying to build my website run away. I can not build my website and go as I want. I would like from right now to be in Magnetic Iceland on the beach, but I have to do. I would have liked to go hiking with my friends in Queens, but I had to do.
After 7 months of non-stop travel, I need to take a break and work. I need a solid month my nose in my laptop, to bury, to complete these projects. I had to go for a month to Bali Indonesia planned to explore. Now Bali is the perfect place to live cheaply for me, eat good food, enjoy a few hours on the beach, and get much work done. I'm here and there a few day trips, but I do most of my plans canceling work.
The truth is, blogging is a lot of work, and if you turn your blog into a life then you need to find a good work balance. I've managed to increase my productivity to be good while working. I get a lot done and can quickly get rid of my daily list. This is important. Wasting time online waste daily. Also, I've managed to devote a few days here and there in order to get ahead, because eventually you will get behind again. After 7 months I'm back behind. Instead of taking a break, I've let stack it easy. If you had my website below, I had my wake up call
Bali here I come -.! Work
