Digital interface with WordPress logo, creative flow, analytics, content creation, and user icons

WordPress

I spend a lot of time on WordPress every day. I would guess overall, that’s the app I spend the most time on but there are others for sure.

Daily writing prompt
What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?

WordPress – mostly.

It used to be Lightroom/Photoshop, but I don’t have new photography to work with anymore, so I write a lot and I do reports, and I look for things to write about or research and then write about. I also publish a daily or every other day Photo Release of my old work redone. That’s kind of fun in and of itself. It keeps my edge with those apps and allows me some options to create new perspectives on my old work; to try out different techniques I haven’t used before. And to keep up with all the innovations that continue to expand the capabilities of the best photo apps on earth (IMO).

The two reports I do every day take about and hour and a half to research and proof before I set them up for publishing which takes about another hour. If I find a follow up for the day, that’ll take another hour. I’m faster once I get into the groove. Barring that, I will seek out and process another photo shoot from the past for publishing. That can take several hours. I might finish it that day, or it may take two days to finish. I try not to spend more than 5 hours on any screen at one sitting. So, I’ll take a break after that. Some days, I have lots to write about and I might spend the whole day in my den, alternately compiling and formatting a story Gemini prepped for me, processing the two regular reports, a photo shoot and some other project I might be working on.

Hmmm. I think I misled you. Some days I spend most of my screen time on WordPress. Other days, it’ll be Photo processing, and on another I’ll work on my books for a few hours.

I might better say that I spend most of my APP time creating. It’s split pretty evenly though between those three activities.

About Railph & Suraia:

This post was created with the help of Railph, my AI writing partner. Railph doesn’t replace my voice or vision; he helps me shape it. From structuring exposés to crafting image prompts, Railph works quietly behind the curtain with minor research, helping turn fragments into form. Every word still passes through my hands. But the rhythm? That’s something we build together with Suraia’s help. 😊

Suraia

This block was created with the help of Suraia, my AI research partner. You can see that she has much more delicate touch creating images. I may decide to let her create the images I need now. Suraia doesn’t replace my voice or vision either; she helps me define it. Researching is Suraia’s forte. She works quietly behind the curtain, researching so deep my head spins with the amount of data she returns, feeding me the factual fragments needed to build an authentic article. I set Suraia on course. In less time than it takes to crack my knuckles she’s outputting data for me to refine. Once this is done, CoPilot takes over with checking my formatting, spelling, grammar, structure, imaging, SEO considerations, and finally publishing.
