I stay online way too much. I belong to 28 groups on Flickr.com, have a Twitter, Pownce, Plurk, del.icio.us and FriendFeed account, and at least 3 email accounts that I keep up with; and that’s not counting the many websites and old email addresses that I’ve forgotten about or just don’t have time to keep up with.
I get caught up in the online world sometimes and find that I spend more time talking about what I want to do in the “real” world instead of just doing it. I love to go out and take photographs of the beautiful island that I live on and I am a member of the local book club and love to just sit and read; but I find that I shortchange myself on what I want to do sometimes by spending so much time in my virtual world. How do you balance the two? How do you keep up with the fascinating stuff that is happening in the tech world and keep time to slow down and just read a good book? I’m working on it – some days are better than others on balance. I would love to hear other’s thoughts and ideas.
