Welcome to Blogger Rehab- a 31 day series for the stressed out, overworked, and want to quit the internets.
This past summer I had the honor of taking a friend through a blogging sabbatical.
She wanted to throw in the towel and shut down her blog. She was burned out and plain ole done with life online.
She was TIRED of the internet. Tired of trying to keep up with the blog next door, tired of the noise of social media, and tired of feeling less than because someone’s Instagram feed showed a perfect life.
Blogging is an amazing outlet for many people. For some, it is full time job. For others it is extra income that affords their family to be able to do fun things and try out new products. And for others, it is a ministry opportunity or a chance to publish their words without signing a book deal.
The thing about blogging though, is that the internet never sleeps. You can’t “win” the internet. So how do you win your life back when your blog has taken over?
This 31 days series is for anyone who has ever wanted to QUIT it all. Consider it a 31 day detox from www and the dot com.

This series is going to be a mix of practical solutions to make your online life more efficient and questions that are going to make you dig deep into why you do the things you do.
Along the way, I’ll share everything I’ve learned about blog/life balance.
The amount of effort you put into your time at Blogger Rehab is going to have a 100% direct effect on what you get out of it.
I challenge you to dig deep during this time.
You’ll likely want a journal and a pen.
I can’t wait to journey with you as you go through your own blogger rehab.
This page will serve as the landing page for Blogger Rehab.

While I haven’t been blogging long enough to need rehab yet, I am looking so forward to this series. I have a feeling I’m going to learn a lot, so thank you, in advance!

This is a great idea. Balance is so important for long-term viability. Its easy to burn out on an endeavor like blogging, where you could always be doing “more.”

Cant wait to read your 31 days. I so need this.
Yes, yes yes, so much YES. It’s like you cracked a peek into my brain. I’m utterly sick of both Facebook and online forums. SICK. It’s crept into my blogging, too. I look forward to watching your tips, this month. Thanks!

This is awesome, blogging can get really tiring sometimes. I haven’t been blogging but a little over 8 months and already I feel the pinch. It is like being in overload all the time.
Perfect timing as the past two weeks have almost put me over the edge. I am so stressed out, rushed, and tired. I am also tired of rejection and struggling to keep up with “the blog next door.” I need this right now and can’t wait to read you insights!
