And yet, I do see folks catch up on reading on Sundays...I have the same problem you mention about long reading list but not always being able to keep up.

When I'm working I read much more on the weekends and I've always found it odd that the blog world is quieter then. Am I the only one with a full-time job that takes up most of the hours in the day during the week? <br /><br />I also read more on the days I post. Partly because if someone comes to visit after I've said something to them, I like there to be something relatively current for them to read, rather than my old coffee grounds from whenever :)that they may have already seen. <br /><br />I'm always behind on my reading *sigh*. I think it's because I generally comment where I read, and I'm long-winded (ahem, as in right now) so I don't get through a lot of blogs in a sitting. And I have a loooong reading list, because there are so many great people out there. <br /><br />I generally try to read people who've commented on my blog first, but if it's only one comment (as opposed to a "regular") I sometimes lose track of them. Then I find them months later and feel really bad that I haven't visited them. Ugh.<br /><br />Azarahttp://inthetesseract.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-21400899005638066512012-12-17T23:26:29.285-05:002012-12-17T23:26:29.285-05:00GAH, ME EITHER!

I try to post Monday, Wednesday, Friday and write them all on the weekend, or at least plan them out then. Weekends are the best for me to get caught up with the reading, but sometimes I do it when there's a TV show on. I hate just watching TV it's such a waste of time. Of course, most of the time I get involved in what I'm reading and lose the TV story. <br /><br />Great question!

Yeah, Monday does seem to be a big day for the Blogosphere, for lots of folks.<br /><br />What you wrote about blogging on days you post and spending off-post days writing is actually what I'm trying to do, too; I'm trying to figure out a way to build a schedule for myself, so I can balance my full-time gig with blogging AND writing (which has, I'm sad to say, taken a real hit since I've been blogging/blog reading, you know?). So maybe we're thinking more similarly than not. :-)Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-84247989604211599672012-12-01T14:44:47.245-05:002012-12-01T14:44:47.245-05:00I'd love it if you voted anyway, though; even ...I'd love it if you voted anyway, though; even if you voted for every day.

Since I post on Mondays and Wednesdays, Wed. afternoon through Thurs. is another peak time.<br /><br />*shrugs* I look at it differently than you. Since I like to pay return blog visits soon after the comments are posted, I'm going to be blog hopping on the days I post anyway. Why not reserve that time for blogging and spend my off-post days writing? <br /><br />Same goes for IWSG.

But I found that if I brain-stormed topics or themes and planned some stuff out in advance (like you do for Blogging A to Z, maybe), it helped me keep on schedule with blogging.
