I’ve got it, it’s the blogger burn out, where you can’t write anymore! As Bloggers tend to churn out articles day after day, they are sure enough going to get burnt out. I’ve been burnt out plenty of tims and starting to feel the symptoms of Blogger Burn Out coming again…
Symptoms of Blogger Burn Out
1. Inability to concentrate when writing
2. Articles become short and boring
3. Inability to add any sense of humor to blogger posts.
4. Banging your head against the keyboard screaming at the computer.
Solutions
1. Take a vacation. Don’t even think about writing.
2. Be Lazy. Just sit around, read, or do something completely non productive.
3. Go running. I’ve often found this a great way to relieve stress and clear your mind.
4. Hold off on publishing. Write something, stop, do something else then come back to it.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to hit that publish button. If your work sucks, don’t publish it. Sometimes no content is better than crap content. Or, have someone read over your work… In the worst case scenario, it might not hurt to hire a writer to publish for you, while you get over your blogger burn out. Let someone else write your content during your downtime so at least your blog keeps progressing while you recover…
Be careful… blogging could kill you?

Like every job you sometimes need to take a break or vacation. Getting someone to help out or partnering up is a great way to keep posting when you hit burn out. You can even swap posts with other blogs. “You do one for me now and I’ll do one for you later.”
Over at our site, we have a team of admin who each back each other up when we start to burn out. It is great to not have the full weight on any one person.

That’s great advice: “Take a vacation, don’t even think about writing.” This is the best way to get the juices flowing again. Just forget about writing for a week and when you come back you’ll be refreshed.
