(Nice to finally know who is behind webdiggin ;) ) well... isn´t that just another form of 20/80? I mean, it isn´t bad to leave comments, creating backlinks that way ... but it can be very time consuming and the "return" on your timeinvestment isn´t very effective. Especially if more productive actions are pushed to the background and only receive 20% of your attention. I have really cut down on reading other blogs, there are only a few that I read as much as time is allowed, making it less likely as well that I get caught in spending hours reading (and commenting). First thing in the morning I focus on my main task, get that done and finished with for as much as possible ;) Hi Mark!

Ahh... My biggest problem is procrastination. For example. I meant to be working on some projects, but then I end up reading other people's blogs and I get hooked leaving little comments. By the way, congratulations on that commission!

It is so easy to fall in the trap of loosing yourself when looking at high profile succesful bloggers, thinking your own way just isn´t good enough. Thanks again! Hi Carol :D

I certainly prefer a few good posts weekly that I enjoy reading rather than being flushed with that many new posts without giving the reader the possibility to keep up with what you are putting out in the blogosphere ;) Hey James :)

I think it was a really good decision to have a break and step back for a bit, evaluate and just take time to not think about anything other than the present, enjoy and just relax! Hi Marcus :)
