I too enjoy my blogging time - it helps me feel connected and I enjoy reading what people say. But I am sure trying to get that in box under control!! ~ Diane Clancy www.dianeclancy.com/blog I am glad that you are figuring out what works for you!

I read a lot of blogs (more than I have in my sidebar) and it does take a lot of time. I'm not willing to give up reading but I think I'm going to cut down on how often I read. Batch up the reading instead of a few here and there. Kathleen - thanks for the book recommendation - I've put it on hold at the library. I can always use good book recommendations. Everyone else - thanks for the comment. I hope you all are focusing on what makes you happy also. Maggie - I’m working on changing my blog surfing habits.

I too am really trying to cut down on my e-mail time. I am reluctant to stop my blog surfing all together, as I find some really inspiring ideas to help stimulate me.

I think I need to follow suit here and just plain sign off- it would free up so much more time!

Thank you for sharing how you are staying so focused. Eleminating all that computer time has to be very freeing to a person ... I need to cut back also and spend my time in a more creative way.

I have been feeling like I am not using my time well, with the kids home from school. Your list of small changes is a great way to get me focused. RE: books on tape, have you listened to "I feel bad about my neck" by Nora Ephron? It is a riot! I just happened to visit your blog, it is next to mine in the ring, funny how that works.

Sounds like you are learning to say no to those things that get in the way. I am still working on that. People bring me alterations (I can still use the extra money) and it is hard for me to say no. Then I procrastinate and drive myself crazy because I really did not want to do the alternation in the first place, but I couldn't say no. I really like Structures #58 - the rhythm of the lines and the blue fabric - very cool. It is a good feelilng to get a UFO done. You have inspired me to get a list going today and make a plan to get all those pesky alterations done so I can work on my quilting! Well done in getting so much accomplished.
