Would you try to go for blogging business if you are about to start again, and have full time job at the same time?

Great article! I need to follow these steps. At least for one day out of the whole week.

Amen.

Two things I've learned over the past year is that I can't do everything and I have to learn to say no when I can't handle one more thing. I feel bad for not helping just that one other person sometimes, but seriously there have to be limits.

I don't know if this is really relevant here, but greasemonkey scripts have helped me a lot in my productivity lately...

I was able to do this for a while but I think I need a Friendfeed timer or something now... (No compulsion here?! :) Thanks for the reminder!

Sarah, kudos to you. While I enjoy partaking in Robert's and Louis's many postings, I do not share the "always-on" need ;-) I was interested in reading the "batching" post but the link appears to be broken.

Wow!
You have a recipe to cure internet addiction! Maybe to be really a cure we should need more days offline, but it is a good start :-D

Thanks for sharing your tips Sarah - amazing to think that even social media mavens have limits too, haha. Having a life online definitely requires discipline and some sort of schedule, there's just too much goodness that may not necessarily be in line with one's goals/priorities. Speaking of which, it's getting to 1.30 am here in Singapore so I'd better take my own advice and log off soon :P

Oh well, FAIL for me then.

I'm happy with my current levels of involvement though. Leading the social media brigade is up to you now, I suppose. :)

Sarah, to be honest, yes, I noticed you stopped being as visible on FriendFeed and Twitter. And now... your Scrabble game. You must withdraw so Tamar and I can have our deathmatch.

If I do this right, you won't even notice I've gone "lite" :) I've been practicing for a month now. Have you missed me yet? ha ha

So true! It doesn't take but a moment to slip down the rabbit hole. One thing that I have found that helps me accomplish more is to get to the office earlier. I found if I start my day well before 9am I get a lot more done. The later in the day it gets the more distractions pop up...phone calls....emails...kids etc... A good couple hours at the beginning of the day helps me get a running start.

Sarah, it's going to be hard to accept and embrace the new "Sarah Perez Lite". :-)

We have highest expectations for you and have seen your strong work here, at RWW and elsewhere. That you're leaving the land of the obsessed and focusing on normalcy is noble, but those of us who are approaching the "TILT" button are going to find our ranks a little smaller today.

I find the break between weekdays and weekends is actually an opportunity to accelerate the online activity, as work doesn't get in the way. It's just a change of shifts.
