The Retrospector

I spent quite a bit of time reading through all the submissions from the project that Darren over at ProBlogger.net hosted. While I was reflecting what habits I could relate to and what habits I haven’t even thought of before, I began to wonder how many times I’d seen each habit repeat itself with each submission.

Focus on the habits

As noted in the final submissions post, Darren explained to us that he wasn’t going to have us vote on a winner. I’m glad he did this, because I think his project focus was more on the actual habits than who we thought was the most effective blogger around. So I wanted to focus more on the habits by reading through each and every post noting anything that was used toward effective blogging.

So I made up a little project of my own. As I was reading through all of the submissions I kept track of each time one of the habits I had in my list showed up again, and added any new ones to the list that weren’t already there. This took a long time to do (a few hours), but the more I did it the more anxious I was to see the results.
