“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle

I’ve put together a daily routine to improve my effectiveness as a blogger, and it got me wondering what other bloggers do for a daily routine.  Once my blogging routine becomes habit, my aim is that this routine will take a few hours out of my workday morning, so that I can devote the rest of my day to business building as opposed to business maintenance.  This isn’t a new idea, and it is one that I got from Patrick O’Keefe of the iFroggy Network.  Here’s the current iteration of my routine.

• Post to Argentina’s Travel Blog
• Read RSS Feeds
• Post to Flee The Cube Blog
• Participate in select forums (there’s 5)
• Deal with deluge of email

I know that there is a lot more I could be doing, but these are the actions I’ve narrowed my routine down to, and it’s a race to finish it on any given day before lunch.  Honestly, it makes me wonder how some people do it.  So in the spirit of finding out, I’m asking all of you:

What is your daily routine like?

Especially in terms of blogging, marketing, and business building.  I’m curious what the highest-value activities are, and what habits really pay off in terms of building traffic.  Now, I know that this is like asking a blogger for his real secrets (not his fun secrets) but the blogosphere is so cooperative that I thought I would give it a try.

So if you write a post on your daily routine (let me know about it) or if you have a minute, leave it in the comments
