I’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately, too, so I totally understand. When it comes to a choice between getting things done that must get done and participating in the blogosphere, guess which wins. We have to live with the consequences of doing or not doing our own work. Best wishes with your new focus!

I can relate to the Overwhelm. It does not make one feel as if accomplishments are being made even when they generally are ebing made. I think you are wise to know when to step back and regroup. The need to eliminate stress and fatigue are still paramount over any of these challenges. Good luck!

I completely hear where you’re coming from, and there are times when I have to step back from the blog-o-sphere lest it overwhelm me. Like you, I could spend whole evenings (and whole mornings) sorting through the various blogs in my “favorites.” It gets to be too much :). Take time and enjoy – those blogs will likely still be here when/if you decide to check them out again ;).

It can seem like a bad thing when you’re overwhelmed. But this doesn’t have to be a part of the whelm. Set reasonable goals, leave yourself lots of wiggle room, and don’t burn this bridge, please. You’ll find you want to come back, so don’t shut the door all the way. And it doesn’t have to be a big time-consuming deal. It’s a way to touch, when you really need to, and a way for us to touch back, when we can. Best of luck, SueB!!
