I do both the number of hours per day and within that time I set what I want to accomplish. So I’ll give myself, for example, 2 hours to write blog posts, 1 hour to catch up on RSS, etc. I also schedule out in advance; a rough idea of when I’ll be working in the coming week ahead and the posts I’d like to write about.

Doing those simple things has really taken a lot of the stress out of the process.

My duties of writing a blog, and serving an important role in an online community has, at times affected my relationships, sleep, and other goals.

Your tip on making a set schedule for blogging is an excellent idea. Do you set your schedule by number of hours per day?
