“Less is more” isn’t the new motto ?

What about 2 posts a week plus a vintage past post ?

I’m completely fine with five . . . it’s a nice little daily reward to motivate me each weekday!

Hmm, the vote button doesn’t seem to work. Maybe it’s just me?

Leo,
I’m a black belt instructor in my off hours and run a digital marketing company during the day. I really enjoy reading your posts… what about considering 3 days a week? (Mon, Wed & Fri). We recently started a blog called http://www.greenproductoftheday.com and it became evident to my business partner that daily blogging is a daunting task, so I completely appreciate where you are coming from.

Thanks for the great blog. I’ll continue to digg your articles and let my friends know about your site.

Best regards,

Jim

Firstly….well done for providing a very professional site.

I voted 2 per week. I’d love more but to be honest I’d not have time to read them.

The most important thing is the quality and also to read a well written article – that takes time and to be honest even two per week would be difficult to sustain.

Keep up the great work.

I voted for 5 – it’s wonderful to prepare for work every morning by reading a zen habits post. I especially like the different posts for different days schedule.

On the other hand, I’m with everyone else on quality over quantity. Since it sounds like getting guest posts is not a problem, my ideal would be that if you’re feeling time pressure or generally unable to put a post together, to substitute with a guest post so that I can still start my day off on the right Zen foot. :)

I’m with Zoom. I voted for 5, but would be happy with as many as you feel able to write (and happy with what you’ve written). The themed days is a great idea, and I find I look forward eagerly to the simplicity and organising ones, and sometimes skip the diet/fitness/exercise ones.

One thing that might be interesting, aside from all the other good suggestions people have made, is some kind of “The story so far…” ongoing post. I’m thinking of something where you (or someone) commit to a particular goal, and give us weekly updates on how it’s going. A bit like the 100-thing challenge, probably. That would be a series that would:
a) give us a window into how you do things;
b) provide continuity and flow;
c) maybe inspire some of us to go along with you; and
d) give you a fairly easy post for one day a week ;-).

3 to 5 posts a week is fine. That’s why I voted for 4!
