The Art of the 10 Minute Real Estate Blog Post

Even bloggers that have great success from their sites find that, at times, the time it can take to construct worthwhile content is hard to come by. And the more often that it is hard to come by, the further a blogger is from overcoming this challenge.

The best way to maintain a good habit is to reinforce it as often as possible, even if it is only in small efforts.

After reading all the reports that sitting is the new smoking, and that it increases your risk of all sorts of health problems, I decided that I needed to be more active on a daily basis.

As a very dedicated worker who puts in several hours of focus in a row, getting up from the desk every hour, or taking a long lunch to exercise has proven too difficult to make into a habit; disruption is the death of my productivity.

So, in January, I started walking four to five miles every morning before sitting down for a long day in front of the computer.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago: I strained my lower back after taking a hard foul on the basketball court. I woke up the next morning unable to stand up straight, much less go on my daily five mile walk. The next day I had improved, but the long walk was still out of the question. Day Three: same story--mild improvement, no miles. I was enjoying the extra hour of sleep but the guilt of not going on my walk was getting to me. The next morning, I got up early and slowly walked one mile. Then the next morning, two, then three and then back up to five.
