That is very true, isn’t it – I know I’m doing a good job just by getting back on the wagon again and again :)

Hope you are well today – ack! I must have forgotten to tick the followup box…

But I just saw this article, and I had to react. I wrote an article about something related to your subject, that you might find interesting. It's about the <a href="http://www.ewriting.pamil-visions.com/2008/09/12/social-internet/" rel="nofollow">pressure of the social internet</a> and how we humans tend to cope with that. Hope you enjoy it :) (it actually contains a quote from you!) Hello Monika

I think not having access to Internet can actually be a blessing in disguise. I might have to do this intentionally and just unplug to get stuff like that done. @ Lissie: Good on you.

Look at me. It is three days since I posted this post and only now I'm replying to the comments. Usually I don't like doing this at all as I like to show my appreciation to the reader. My RSS feed reader is like the count up to the next millennium but really I don't care. First comes what makes me money, then comes what will make me money and last comes what does not make me money. It's a tough act, but one I have to follow if i want to pay my bills and grow the business. @ Cath: You have to do this for your own sanity. Look at me.

Sleep is an elusive activity for me and if I'm honest about it (which of course I am) I have to say that I do feel it too. It's good though that you are able to balance both sides of the equation. It is important I think. @ Vered: Tell me about it. Sleep is an elusive activity for me and if I’m honest about it (which of course I am) I have to say that I do feel it too.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Despite this though I'm going to stumble your post now just in case. :-) I agree with the resonating bit though. Trouble is when a lot resonates and nothing else gets done. @ George: LOL, 2015 hey. Yeah, I know what you mean. Despite this though I’m going to stumble your post now just in case. :-)

I stay well clear of it now because otherwise I will get nothing done. I understand the need for more company when the weather gets cold and the days shorter. It's kind of depressing really and that is one of the main reasons I migrated to the sun. I couldn't stand having darkness and cold for long amounts of time. Beats me how you Canadians stay so chirpy all the time. @ Friar: You would get addicted to Twitter for sure. I stay well clear of it now because otherwise I will get nothing done.

You are doing the right thing anyway. It is no good trying to bash yourself up if you fall off the bandwagon so to speak. Like you said, when you are ready you will try again ... and again...until it works out. :-) @ Brett: It is ok to be reactive for sure as it shows passion and engagement.
