I notice it’s easier to have my content be more widely visible on weekdays as opposed to weekends. It’s telling that weekends are the days people engage the least with fun, distracting Internet content; it’s almost like we are social creatures who would rather spend time with people we care about when we have the time to do so.
Plus, I realized I got myself on a sort of quick cycle schedule, where I release a long read on Saturday, and before anyone has a chance to really look at it, I turn around and release short, engaging content on Mondays.
It strikes me I’d rather send out my Saturday morning email on Thursday afternoons. This way, I can give you some time to digest my long reads, and give myself a longer rope to promote them.
But, now I’m curious. Do you set aside some time every week to catch up on reading Internet articles? Do you use apps like Instapaper or something to bookmark and read interesting content? Where do you get most of your content from?
