2008 Survey Results [HD BizBlog- The Blog: Productivity in Context]
The results of the survey are in, enough to be representative anyway. I want to thank everyone who took part in the survey and giving me feedback as to the types of articles that you like best, and least. One of my 2008 goals for this blog is focused on building a community, which of course means interaction.
This is your blog too.
There were some interesting results, and I’ll share them with you now. (The survey is still open, and there is some room for you to participate. If the results change drastically, I’ll update this post.)
Of course, the answers were anonymous, and I want you all to know how much I value your opinion. Here are some screen-shots of the results for each question, and my analysis follows:
Analysis: A whopping 2/3rds of you come here for the Technical Content based on productivity practices. I expected this, as my traffic figures back it up. Whenever there is a post on a specific element of your system, there tend to be more comments and links. I did find the individual comments to this question very interesting:
- I like the mix/variety and keep coming back
- all the above, I can’t decide
- Tips & Advice : I like to read about your own advice on how to improve productivity based on your experiences
- I’m recently diagnosed with ADD. I was tickled to discover you have similar problems. I’m interested in “innovative” ways of approaching organization and productivity since much of what exists doesn’t work for me.
So, there will continue to be a good mix, with the technical articles becoming more in-depth. I will also be adding more “GTD with ADD” content with concrete, specific examples of how I personally work to manage my own Attention Deficit issues. I have been meaning to do the ADD series for a while, but a big project has kept me from it.
Analysis: The vast majority of readers come here for information about Productivity Practices. Duh. This is my favorite topic, and will definitely continue. I am also heartened that the second most popular topic is Paper Applications, as that is my specialty. Neck-and-neck for third place are Software Applications and Leadership Education, trailed by Gadgets, Gear, PDAs and Links. I infer from this that I should spend some more time on Paper Applications, balance with Software and Leadership, and spend less time on the hardware and productivity pr0n. In each instance, I will also work to make the information more detailed and specific.
