TATFBW vs. TATFTBW?

As I am currently writing notes on basic statistics it seems only fair that I should also analyze my recent blog post frequency. As it happens it has dropped from my earlier "in average two posts per week" habit into a "barely one post per week" struggle. Now this has nothing to do with how many things there are to write about, or indeed how many things there are that one thinks one should or would want to write about.

I think what it has to do with is really the amount of time spent sitting down in one place at the same time. If one sits at work around eight hours a day, say, (as any decent office prisoner should) and then afterwards, say, at least four hours at home in the evening and especially if these times are spent by the computer, well, then the total amount of time favourable for blog writing (TATFBW) will be quite high.

However, if one spends only say two to three hours at most at the same place and moreover is not even spending it sitting down or as a matter of fact not even close to any computer, well, then the total amount of time favourable for blog writing is considerably lower. As it is, it might even be that there is no time favourable for blog writing at all during days like these.

This creates a bit of problem especially since based on my experience the kind of days with low TATFBW also tend to be days with an extremely high total amount of time favourable to thinking of blog writing (TATFTBW). Namely these kind of days contain a lot of getting from one place to another, which usually involves quite a lot of thinking of things to be done.

Having an odd eight hour day at the office I decided to increase the amount of blog entries for the ending month, but as I am realizing now, have forgotten to reduce the difference between thought of subjects and written subjects as this most certainly didn't turn out to be anything I had previously thought to write about.
