I never thought I would reach a day when I had too much to do but not enough time to do it all. The internet has created a whole new set of tasks for me to keep up with. I have a number of podcasts that I never get around to listening to (mostly writing reference and TED talks), Facebook friends to keep up with, other blogs to follow, writing workshops and newsletters, games....it all keeps piling up. And the books....I'm not buying as many new ones, but I have so many used ones I never got around to reading! (Starting to catch up on those now; a used one for every new one I read)
Tonight I had to acknowledge that I've let inertia become too much of a friend. Perhaps I can't keep up with all of this all of the time, but there are so many times I've caught myself staring at my computer screen or playing the same game over again even though there's no satisfaction in it. Time to jump-start myself, to get back into an active mode mentally if not physically.

I've found the internet can really suck up productive time. I've got to cut back this year myself. Too much I'd like to get done.
I've had to cut back my blog reading. I still pass by everyone, but less often and I'm reading comments less often. With Dulci gone, many hours have opened up each week that I otherwise would have spent pilling her, feeding her, taking her to the vet, etc. Of course, I was so behind on so many things that the extra time means I'm less far behind on things rather than actually having any free time.
