What a funny thing I came across in my drafts ๐ lol…read and you’ll know why I’m calling it funny now ๐
Blogging is fun for sure BUT there are other things too!
I know this post might not mean anything to me after a few days. This post might not make any sense to me even after few hours from now. But I’ve to do this and write all that is on my mind since a few days.
- I want to curtail my Internet time-blog time to be specific.
- I want to get in a routine-for myself.
- I want to do stuff for my own good-like reading.
- I want to be me-a me from earlier times.
And only root cause of the above listed problems is-blogging. Because that is what I do when I’m not tending to Chirpy or doing the house chores. Honestly speaking, this blogging eats up all my time and strength. Whatever time I get to spend with my own self,either I’m writing posts or commenting on other blogs. This is addictive and I’m addicted!
Having so much time on hands has added fuel to my addiction. I have no control on self when it comes to spending time on the reader.
My book reading has gone down drastically. And books as in not only fiction novels that I mention here but the professional books and journals that I’ve subscribed to. The HR blog is very royally neglected since last year. As if HR has started making no sense to me in any which way!
I feel like a sinner,in truer sense. I feel like a stupid person who can’t seem to have control on her ownย addiction!
Addiction-that’s the word! The moment Chirpy is sleeping or playing with her grandma all I’ve on my mind is to open up WP and Google reader!
I’ve to stop this. I’ve to regain my sanity. I’ve to be particular about how much time I spend on what. I’ve a growing child at home who looks up to me for learning things. She might only remember me sitting at the computer fiddling with the keys and glued to the screen all the time! I want to break this.
Blogging sure is fun and you gain knowledge too while in the process but then excess of anything is not good for anyone’s health.
I’ve to take that one step…yes towards sanity…towards being human and not a counterpart to the machine and I MUST DO IT!
LOL ๐
Scribby, I too have similar thought sometimes.. Its becoming an addiction for me too!
blogging does that to you…in fact the blog friends do that to you ๐
Errr… it is not funny. It is a honest reflection of your thoughts at one point of time in your life!
Hope you got over the addiction. ๐
Yes before I joined work it was all day Internet surfing [read: blogs and FB] and now it’s so limited and in moderate condition that I’m happy with myself..kind of detoxed from addiction ๐
hey u are right.. blogging addiction.. ๐
yeah this is one addiction we so love no? ๐
But its not funny Scribby..at least in my case…I am DEFINITELY addicted ๐ฆ I tried taking breaks to get away from the daily blogging..but it just keeps happening…Darn! I need to do something drastic now ๐
Just do it twice a day ๐ morning for posting and evening for replying to comments…may be this will help? But yes this system will hamper your reading other blogs,like it does mine ๐ฆ
Funnily funny … ๐ it is… Now I see you blogging almost every two days…
areh no in fact now I’ve become more organized in using Internet..I surf wordpress only 2wice [once for posting a post and second time to check the comments] a day and FB has gone out of my system totally…FB has become a weekend activity now ๐
that’s good. I think better timer management.
yep all thanks to the job I must say ๐
All in moderation. Lol. I’m addicted too.
hahaah addicted in moderation ๐
All the best … but hey make sure you come to my blog he he he he he ๐ dont take that out of the addictiveness ๐ he he he
of course ๐
lol!!! So you didn’t win this inner battle ๐
No actually I didn’t have fight it at all..my full time job did it for me ๐
Man. I seriously think it’s addictive. Why else do I keep reading same blog posts over and over again!!
lol you sound so much like me MoRS ๐ we sure are addicted to this place called blogging!
i agree with you guys!!! i too am addicted to this, and when my comp broke down, i suffered from the withdrawl symptoms!!!
I understand this withdrawal symptoms part…when the Internet isn’t working I go mad ๐ฆ
Haha,so glad you didnt go back to sanity ๐
lol Ritika ๐
you can do it!!! Making up the mind and having a resolve is the first step to bringing about a change ๐ Good luck with reducing the net-time!
Oh actually the post is today is not about this anymore..this was in my drafts last week or so..and now that I’ve taken up full time work this post doesn’t hold valid ๐
Aah Scriby, all you really need is another child and then you will have no time for blogging or reading blogs. It really is that simple ๐
Ask me I know. ๐
second baby Comfy? whoohoo!!! I’m yet to settle down with the new baby that I’ve got in my kitty..my work that is and the first baby is there already…I know you’ve been doing this for a year now..2 babies and work..I bow down to thee ๐
Did you just read my mind or what! I’ve been bloghopping and internetting like crazy. I’m addicted too. I need to figure out my prioritites. I love reading blogs and blogging and all that but I miss my other hobbies. Sigh. Post if you find out any way to limit blogging time. or general internet time.
hahaah we are surely like minded and hence all over the blog world,no? ๐
Friday afternoons for reading blogs. Well, just a few minutes here and ther for those I follow regularly!!
You’re doing it so right Rosalier, hope I learn that some day ๐
Haha … ๐ ๐
Scribby, exactly my thoughts ๐ Hubby has declared me an addict the way I am always stuck to the computer. I am badly addicted I know… I have to learn moderation ๐ฆ Last week couldn’t spend as much time on WP as I would have wanted due to work pressure and a sick child at home and I could feel my desperation ๐ฆ
Hey hope things are under control health wise at your end?
Yes this side too the Husby doesn’t understand what’s so intriguing in blogging that I’m so hooked ๐
