Time management is a crucial topic in every blogger’s life. Especially, if you are a female blogger then it would be a nightmare for you. Why?

Challenges: Being a female blogger, the biggest challenge is finding time to blog! However, I believe, when you have a passion for something, you can definitely take the time out and implement the thing that you would most like to do.
On managing blogging business:
Managing the blogs along with the household works and commitments is really a tough job! But because of my dedication, I’m getting a better work-life balance.
The family is my top priority! So, I used to do all home-related tasks (Like cooking, washing, cleaning and so on) in the morning itself and come online for blogging after 10 AM.
I work for 4 – 5 hours during daytime and 2 -3 hours in the evening. Hence, I could manage things in a better way! Right now, I handle five blogs and writing the articles only for my main blog, wpglossy.com. Because of my time limitations, I’m outsourcing the content that is something I never wanted to do!

Any challenges: Sometimes trying to keep up with my editorial calendar conflicts with caring for my children.
On managing blogging business: I delegate. I use a Virtual Assistant, a Technical Helper, and a Business Manager. I also use a Graphic Designer. I also try to allot regimented times for the necessary blogging activities.

Jane Sheeba
Any challenges: Having to manage kids, household and business altogether is indeed a challenge as a woman.
On managing blogging business: With kids in the equation, at the moment, it is almost impossible for me to follow a schedule. I go along with their schedule and work on “power mode” when I get a chunk of time.
Your one time management tip:
Lisa Sicard
Any challenges: Time management. Getting more done in less time to make more money.
On managing blogging business: I use freelancers now to help me come up with ideas for social media posts as I’m generating new clients. I also have some freelancers writing and proofing for me along the way when I need.

Any challenges: I think female bloggers often struggle to maintain a schedule that includes many things other than business. I often get caught up in handling issues with my daughter or household things that distract me from dedicating all my time on blogging. So it does present a challenge to manage my time wisely.
On managing blogging business:
I have developed a specific blogging routine. I call it my daily process. This includes basic things like:
- Replying to comments on my blog
- Leaving comments on other blogs plus sharing them on social media
- Writing new material for upcoming blog posts
- Curating good source material for upcoming topics
- Sharing my Core Message (what problems I help people solve, like writing great content or building an email list, etc.) on social media outlets
- Repurposing some of my old content into videos, live streams, images or ebooks;
- Emailing to my list to update them on my blog content and ideas.
Now, these are just a few of the things I set out to do on a daily process.
It is my process.
Your process might look different, but what I want you to understand is that unless you have a Daily Process that works for you and your business model, these critical things will be left undone.
And your excuse will be “I didn’t have time… I was so busy doing ______ instead.
You see, your Daily Process should include things that are critical to moving your blogging business forward.
Everything else must wait.
But don’t understand me, here.
This is just the Beginning of my blogging day.
After I’ve gone through this basic Daily Process, I begin expanding my business and my reach.
I might start exploring a new social media strategy to promote my work.
Or I could begin or continue work on an ebook I’ll use to build my email list.
Sure, time management is always a struggle for me as a female blogger.
But since I have a good plan, and I execute it every single day… my business grows and my influence expands.
What kind of process do you perform every day?
Or what process do you think my work for you?
Try it out, review it every so often to make sure it’s getting you where you want, and don’t bite off more than you can chew.
It’s a great feeling to end every day knowing you did what you set out to do.
It gets you in the habit of completing things and succeeding.
It’s pretty miserable to get in the habit of always coming up short, and always feeling like you failed to do what you had to do.
That only gets you in the habit of half-doing things and always failing.
Manage your time wisely, and you’ll always have time to succeed as a blogger.
Sue-Ann
Any challenges: I’m just a blogger.
On managing blogging business: With all my heart and soul. But, in reality, I am learning as I go. I feel I’ve already moved forward light years and my decades of business experience definitely helps. Still, there’s so much more I want to accomplish. I love ? blogging.
Your one time management tip:
Erika Mohssen-Beyk
Any challenges: I have no challenge with female or male at all 🙂
On managing blogging business: “I go by intuition and do what I love, the time will arrange itself.
The term time management is nonsense, it is a modern slogan like failure and mistake and only makes people struggle. Without failure and mistakes we do not grow, we need them. This is my opinion.
Time cannot be managed the universe manages time itself we are given all the same time. The sun and the moon set without our management.
What we can and should manage is our activity. Best is to have a few rules, like taking time for exercise and meditation in the morning, having the meals at a certain time. This gives the day structure.
A piece of great advice is what Mark Twain said and Brian Tracy even did write a book about; Eat the frog first thing to begin your workday.
This means to do difficult things that you do not like first. Even if you have more of these frog tasks eat the biggest one first 🙂 because if you not do, it makes you procrastinate.
If you eat the frog, you accomplished something and are ready to go without thinking about anymore and it can even be motivating. I do not like to do lists very much, because these things can kill creativity.
The best is to keep a structure as I mentioned but I take time for creativity serious. If it hits me, I go for it, do not let anything distract me even if it is getting late. If you feel the urge of doing something you love, do it, because it will turn out great :)”

Your one time management tip:
Santwona Patnaik
Any challenges: To be very honest, I have not faced any challenges as a ‘female’ blogger as such. Maybe, this is a sign of good times that we are living in. I haven’t really observed gender-based discrimination in the field of blogging. If you generate good quality content, your work will definitely be appreciated.
But yes, I have faced quite a few challenges as a blogger, in my initial days. I’ll jot down a few points here :
- Finalizing on the overall website design and look & feel of my blog.
- Figuring out the right areas to pitch your work for sponsorships.
- Social media engagement.
- Maintaining a regular frequency for blog posts.
On a generic note, PERSISTENCE is the key to overcome any challenges. Never give up. Keep trying. You will definitely get there.
On managing blogging business:
I have always believed that CONTENT is the most important aspect of blogging. If you churn out good-quality content, your blogging business is bound to flourish at some point. Yes, the content should be publicized on forums with maximum audience reach.
I maintain a disciplined approach to professional blogging. I dedicate specific-times solely for blogging and never compromise, in spite of having a regular job.
Your one time management tip:
Keerthana
Any challenges: The biggest challenge as a female blogger is finding the work-life balance while growing a sustaining blog.
On managing blogging business: Producing content consistently along with engagement on social media, targeting audience and their interests is how I manage my blogging needs and the business strategies. I create my own schedule when I have to post and promote my content.
Your one time management tip:
Nisha Pandey
Any challenges: Every blogger believes that they could do more if they had more than 24 hours in a day. But the challenge is even bigger for female bloggers!
The first tip is to use an app like Evernote that simplifies your life. Every time I have an idea I simply ‘hand it over to it’. I can work on it once I have designated my tasks.
The next important tip is to designate time or priority to tasks. I take it a step further and assign time based on the expected duration for each task. This helps me keep on track, most of the time.
On managing blogging business:
When scheduling your tasks, make sure to assign time for your family. This is going to include your chores and the time your family is going to need from you. I strongly recommend using a timer. No matter whether you have your watch, wall clock or time on your PC, use a timer because it is more effective in keeping you on track.
If you use these strategies, I don’t see why you wouldn’t get the most out of the 24 hours you have as a blogger.
Your one time management tip:
Kinshoo Agrawal
Any challenges: Don’t get enough time for blogging as juggling between family needs, chores, professional deadlines drains me out.
On managing blogging business: Blogging is mostly a hobby for me till now and a medium to connect to fellow bloggers.

Chitra Home Chowdhury
Any challenges: My challenge as a female blogger is managing my website at the same time managing and doing the household chores, which is very difficult for me to handle at the same time, I’m also very thankful that I’m able to maintain both.
On managing blogging business: In 24 hours, I try to give maximum time to my blog, because, my blog and my website, is the only source of my income.
Your one time management tip:
1 perfect way to manage time, so that your blog shall perform well, if you give maximum, yet quality and meaty time to your blog.

Any challenges: I feel the Blogging World is full of opportunities and challenges and it is not Gender Specific! So both the Opportunities that I have earned or the challenges I have faced can directly be related to what I did well or I didn’t manage well.
Coming to the point of Challenges as a Blogger – I think the biggest mistake that I did was that I treated ‘Blogging’ as a Hobby and not as a Profession or else I could have started monetizing my Website much earlier.
On managing blogging business:
I am a Travel Content Curator and I belong to a family of wanderlust people. My parents, my in-laws, my husband, our children, all of us love traveling and so it just seemed natural to blog about it. But Traveling is far easier than writing about it.
If you want to make money out of your blog you need to spend 40% of your time and energy in creating content and rest 60% in marketing it.
Since I am in the process of launching my “Pinterest Strategies Course” a lot of my time goes in planning for the same.
I feel that when I have an annual plan broken into the monthly and weekly plan it helps me plan things well.
Your one time management tip:
Shraddha Tripathi
Any challenges: As a mom, I have a time limitation. Otherwise, Content is the King of Blogging. To be creative and informative is the most difficult task.
On managing blogging business:
It’s a late process. It takes time to get success but If you are regular then its a great business.
Your one time management tip:
Shalu Sharma
Any Challenges: One major challenge is that many male bloggers don’t take you seriously. They think that it’s a hobby which you do part-time. But the fact is that I do it seriously and consider it as a business. However many are beginning to acknowledge that you do have the skills and what it takes to be a serious blogger.
On managing blogging business:
I allocate time for blogging. You have to allocate a section of time of the day to write, research, promote and read other blogs which I do. In addition, I treat blogging as a business where I spend time, effort and money to see the dividends.
