BTW, I like watching Jon Stewart too! My work life balance is painting and talking with artists about search engines (somehow, I got it mixed up .....maybe it should be the other way around). Seriously, I like the metric of average comments per blog post. You posted 17 times in about a month but did pretty good in visibility, in my opinion.

I love Jon Stewart (talk about someone whose questions lead to probing analysis) and I'll probably just want to listen to him and in between commercials might not lead to optimal quality blog posts. : ) My hypothesis is that after a while I'll just get good at this and restore the work life balance.

Have you considered blogging while watching Jon Stewart to increase your work/life balance numbers -- or would that simply be skewing things? Great post.

Goals for me mostly are a motivation tool (interestingly in my personal life I don't have any, Jennie takes care of that!). In terms of days Mon/Tue and Thu are the most common. Every single post right around midnight (the only time I have).

I'm working on my 1st 100 Days Analysis. I mentioned it last night <a href="http://instantcognition.blogspot.com/2006/06/web-analytics-tools-in-use-on-this.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. But even though you got yours in first, I appreciate your transparency - something I am striving for. And you even set goals for yourself! That's great, I didn't set goals - didn't want to make it too much like business. I was wondering if you looked at what days you are most likely to post on? For me it is Tuesdays and Mondays and I don't really know why. I do think you are too modest. Within our peer group you are <strong><i>very</i></strong> respected and we poor mortals have just been itching for you to start blogging. So when you finally did start blogging we all jumped on it like grasshoppers. Avinash, you beat me to it!
