July 3, 2024 — Websites need maintenance, right?

Tools, hosting, and new AI features can help you keep your website up and running, but in the end, a site needs some attention.

Most of our sites have been around for a while, so the content probably needs updating and adapting. And if you want to start a new site, you’ll need to create excellent content.

And that’s where procrastination might kick in. You know you have to write those articles (perhaps with some AI help) and create categories or update the tags on your site. But it can be overwhelming. Perhaps it is something you keep putting off.

In this talk, I’ll help you to overcome procrastination on website tasks that need your attention. I’ll give actionable tips. I’ll help you set up a manageable plan. I’ll teach you tricks on reaching success with your tedious maintenance tasks, making those tasks much less tiresome.

Let’s plan towards progress!
