Blogging is a secondary activity to me, now that I have secured a job. I guess the responsibilities are those common to the self-employed: work, promote your business, deal with clients and partners, get taxes done and so on. Get a business plan first, a real business plan I mean -not some fancy words on a fancy paper-, be realistic about the time and effort needed. Then, you can decide. And if it's your dream and you aren't struggling to pay your mortgage, then for all that's good in the world, go for it., .-= Check out Miguel de Luis´s awesome post: <a href="http://eldietario.com/2009/06/29/the-knowledge-artisans/" rel="nofollow">The Knowledge Artisans</a> =-.

I agree, we can try to eliminate a lot, but in the end, we may end up eliminating the important stuff. Hi Jan - You're too funny. Why is it, when we start blogging we often feel like we're losing our life as we once knew it. It's like walking a tightrope. Can we have it all? I don't know......

Hi Jan – You’re too funny. Why is it, when we start blogging we often feel like we’re losing our life as we once knew it. It’s like walking a tightrope. Can we have it all? I don’t know……

Now I'm just getting to this post of yours 5 days later, even though I don't have a job. Sometimes I don't even know where the time goes, though lately I've been busy on my next ebook, which is very time-consuming for me. I can imagine how Lorelle feels to have all those emails. If I had 150 emails to answer, I don't know what I'd do. Unfortunately, the only answer I can think of is to eliminate tasks. Don't read any blogs you don't have to. Don't answer any comments you don't have to. Don't answer any emails you don't have to. I don't like the idea of that, but I think it must be necessary at some point. <abbr><em>Hunter Nuttall´s last blog post..<a href="http://hunternuttall.com/blog/2008/11/steve-pavlina-truth-love-power/" rel="nofollow">Steve Pavlina’s Secrets Of Truth, Love, And Power</a></em></abbr> Barbara, it wasn’t that long ago when I was often the first one to comment on your posts.
