The Most Important Question That You Will Answer Today

[james_davis_nicoll]

From here on out, the new normal is five reviews a week. My question is, on which days should I not post reviews?

Right now it seems like I should pick between either Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday or Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

I don't see why you should take anyone else's desires into account in this matter.

Yeah. I mean, what's good for your schedule? What works for you? It's your job; arrange it to make sense for you.

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

I cannot make up my mind....

Take a guess. Review it after a couple of weeks. If you feel comfortable at that schedule, keep it. If you don't, try something else and review that a couple weeks afterward.

I agree, or else you could abdicate responsibility by looking at site metrics and finding which day of the week gets less traffic. Just a different kind of arbitrary decision in the end, though.

It makes no difference to me.

Well, one way to choose is to figure out which would end up with a better day off for you, assuming it would end up with a day off.

Another thing to contemplate is when other blogs tend to not post. That can be applied two ways: post preferentially on days they don't because you think people might be eager for reading material, or don't post on those days because you think people might be not expecting to have anything to read on those days & therefore be more likely to skip looking for it.

I'm very good at not actually answering questions.

I'll be happy no matter when you post.

[awesomeaud.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pick two of those days!

My very personal favorite is the second one, because many of the blogs I follow do not post anything on the weekend, which when I usually have the most time to surf the 'net. But, in the end, it doesn't really matter.

Yah, my very slight preference is for the second option presented, for this reason.

Do the Netflix model. Drop 'em all on the same day and let readers binge-read.

On which two days do you typically have other responsibilities or activities that are most likely to cause disruptions? Pick those days to not post reviews.

Logical, perfectly logical

Oh, take a rational approach, eh? I suppose that could work.

You don't need to post reviews on Nornsday, Walpurgisnacht Eve (when it falls in a leap year), or on 3 - Cipactli, 1 - Quiahuitl, 7 - Acatl (as the Aztecs reckon time).

All five on Saturday.
