I think it's easy to get sucked into computer time, even if it's not blogging. For my dh it's message boards and facebook, for my son it's online games, for my daughter it's facebook and pinterest...I spend a lot of time reading other's blogs because I enjoy it so much.One Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369132659573259613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-55399934526824863292012-02-18T13:30:20.967-08:002012-02-18T13:30:20.967-08:00Blogging is part of my daily routine.

I get all my blog reading/commenting and posting done in that time along with a few other tasks (I always keep a "to-do list" of tasks that need doing around the house so that I feel I'm being productive. So if I get all my blogging done plus scratch a couple of tasks off my list I feel it's time well spent. It helps that my daughter is 21 and looks after herself!!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-89245566740010359852012-02-18T08:46:42.035-08:002012-02-18T08:46:42.035-08:00A few blogging tips . . . cut down on the blogs t...A few blogging tips . . . cut down on the blogs that you check. I used to check some other cooking blogs, but found that it wasn't really a good use of my time - so I deleted them. (I wasn't really getting much from their recipes). I only post on my blog once or twice a week. Schedule your days and routinely only post at those times. Then you only have so much time to do it and it's not on your mind all the time. There is a lot of good info and great blogs out there - but I find that most of the time I am just wasting time. So get a few favorites and ignore all the rest! Good luck - it's always a struggle.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994557722572334977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-26042158457878305992012-02-17T18:05:08.113-08:002012-02-17T18:05:08.113-08:00That's the thing, I do enjoy it.

I was blogging every morning, with people starting to expect it every day, whereas I started feeling pressure to get it done at same time everyday. Once I was sick for a month, I had missed days, blogged at all different times of the day, and starting doing it for me again. Remember why you started blogging and stay true to yourself. This is only my opinion for what I found for myself. If you have something else to do for yourself you do it, like I saids, "stay true to one's own self", not to loose yourself in others.Cindy@NorthofWiartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262513991016475701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-69478230491184320262012-02-17T16:23:00.397-08:002012-02-17T16:23:00.397-08:00Lena, thanks for asking about my blog.

By the way, I read your blog and you don't seem to have any problems with English.<br /><br />On another topic. It's easy to sucked up by the computer no matter what you're doing, isn't it? I think I do spend a lot of time blogging sometimes, but for me I'm just replacing my other leisure activities such as watching TV or playing a game. Also, there is some value in the time you spend blogging because it focuses your activities if you are going to blog about them and spurs you to do somethings. With that being said, I use a timer a lot for time management whether it is to get something done or to limit myself with something extra like blogging.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
