I was doing it but I had no time for anything else so I cut back. I now post every five days which means I’ve clawed back three days and that has taken some of the pressure off. Of course those three days got eaten up—stuff always rushes in to fill a void—and I’m thinking I need to look at the returns on investments. I was advised to become more active on Facebook which I have and I have reaped some benefits but as always the question is about ratios: are the benefits worth the efforts involved. I’m glad to see you cutting back. (Did I not suggest that a few months back? I forget.) Seriously, no one will notice. Every one of us has too much to do anyway. All you need to do is enough to make sure we don’t forget you and, honestly, a couple of my friends only post one day a week and I actually look forward to, and make time for, their posts whereas I don’t always read the daily posters’ stuff.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-33868778937604942152011-11-29T08:34:45.202+02:002011-11-29T08:34:45.202+02:00Good luck with the grant!!

Of course, I only post about five times a month, so that's like comparing apples and... um... much smaller apples, I guess.<br /><br />I have, however, drastically cut back on my blog <i>visiting</i> ever since a certain baby started demanding my attention at all hours. And though I do feel bad about neglecting my fellow bloggers more often, I have no regrets.<br /><br />Go bite-sized. Take back some of your free time.
