Summary: <br> I have been blogging consistently every week since 2012. As you can see in <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/archives/" target="_blank">my archives</a>, I have published over 400 articles and/or <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/the-5-am-miracle-podcast/" target="_blank">podcast episodes</a> in the last 3.5 years (not to mention the 100+ posts from a previous blog).<br> Today, I'm taking a bold step in a new direction.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/when-to-say-yes-to-everything-and-when-to-say-no-podcast-122/">← Previous Episode</a><br> <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/the-productive-woman-sitting-down-with-laura-mcclellan-podcast-123/">Next Episode →</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/hitting-pause-on-blogging-a-new-focus-beginning-today/"></a>Photo Credit: <a style="color: #808080;" href="https://housebuyfast.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jonathan Rolande</a> via <a style="color: #808080;" href="http://compfight.com" target="_blank">Compfight</a> <a style="color: #808080;" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" target="_blank">cc</a><br> Don't worry, I'm not disappearing or halting my content creation altogether. However, I have reached a bottleneck in my business and something has to give.<br> The John Oliver Approach to Content Creation<br> Over the last 16 years I have been a huge fan of Jon Stewart and The Daily Show. After watching Jon retire a few months ago I found myself engrossed in a similar and surprisingly brilliant show, HBO's <a href="http://www.hbo.com/last-week-tonight-with-john-oliver" target="_blank">Last Week Tonight with John Oliver</a>.<br> John Oliver embodies the “less is more” approach to content creation. <br> If you have ever watched Last Week Tonight you know that every show is well thought-out, oozing with passion, and takes the time to respond and interact with the audience.<br> Instead of creating another daily fake-news/comedy show, John Oliver opted for a fresh and intelligent approach to creating high-quality content that keeps you wanting more, which is exactly what I will be attempting going forward.<br> The Dilemma<br> As a self-proclaimed productivity junkie and health fanatic, I really do believe I always have more to give each day. This has lead to incredible progress on many fronts, but there really are only 168 hours in a week.<br> As I discussed in <a href="https://www.jeffsanders.com/when-to-say-yes-to-everything-and-when-to-say-no-podcast-122/" target="_blank">Monday's podcast episode</a>, I want to say YES! to every new opportunity and I hate saying no. However, in order to truly become the highest and best version of myself I can only say yes to the tasks, projects, and events that align with that vision.<br> In other words, I cannot continue to commit to anything that takes up my time, energy, or money when I have high-priority projects waiting in the wings, ready to make their entrance.<br> On that note, I am making a variety of cuts all across the board in order to free up space for what is going to matter most in my business and life in the coming months.<br> Here's the Plan<br> First, in the spirit of less is more, and devoting myself fully to a few high-priority projects, I will no longer be writing or publishing blog posts (or audio blog posts) on Thursdays. Though my articles are short, the time and energy required to produce them is intense, and I believe that time can be better spent.<br> Secondly, I will continue to publish a new, high-quality podcast episode every Monday morning and I will likely be using many of my blog post ideas in the “Tip of the Week” segments. I will also continue to interview amazing guests, though I may focus more episodes on my own content, as those tend to hit home better with more listeners.<br> Lastly, when I'm not working on a new podcast episode each week,
