Persistent Posting
Patrick Madrid asks a pertinent question of various members of St. Blogs (those who he dubs "persistent posters", that is):
Which, I confess, is something I've often wondered myself. The question "how much is too much" is one each of us will have to determine for ourselves. I have a pretty engrossing work schedule, and I value the time spent at home, so much of my blog-reading is done during my lunch break, or briefly after dinner -- posting reserved chiefly for the weekend (with few exceptions) when I can relax with a cup of coffee on a quiet morning or evening. However, I've also learned to be fairly cautious of the amount of time I spend on the computer. For me, the internet can become increasingly habitual: I can "channel surf" the web just as easily as I can by remote control, and both contribute towards a diminishing attention span. Getting through a book is much more of a challenge, but in my experience I've found it much more rewarding. Thankfully, I am also blessed with loved ones who are quick to point out when I get carried away and need to devote my attention to the more important things in life. Good post Patrick -- and a question worth asking.
