In reply to I have to go away now..., posted by alexandra_k on November 14, 2005, at 20:41:37
as usual i'm way over-reacting.
i'm sure i can still pop in from time to time...
;-)
it is just that i find it so very easy to get to reading... and then posting replies... and by then there is more to read... and more to reply to... and before i know it half the day is gone. (or sometimes the whole day - but ssssh don't tell anyone).and mostly...
thats okay.but sometimes...
i really need to be focusing on work.
especially when deadlines are encroaching...i'm not really one to do things by halves.
though i'd like to learn to get better at that.so...
setting limits.
i might just have to have a go at that.
look at each board once per day or something like that...
or maybe i should limit by time...
i guess its not really the time spent on the boards thats so much the problem...
more the time spent thinking about the boards.
but the more time i spend on the boards the more i get to thinking about the boards...hmm.
i wish...
i could be a little more moderate...still. i've done some work today :-)
and back to it when my washing cycle finishes.i just hate not being around...
people here really are a huge part of my life.so maybe...
the moral to take
(and probably what i should have said...)
is don't worry if i'm not around very much.
and if i get in a bad place...
well...
i'm sure people will see me posting round about then ;-)
so you don't have to worry.i miss people already :-(
but i'm sure my posts will be a whole heap nicer when this task is done.
i really have been getting myself wound up about pretty much everything...
because of feeling guilty about not doing so much work.anyway...
enough about me.
has anyone else had a go at the setting limits thing? how did that work out? i never thought it would be much good... but i guess it just might be for the cases where there really is an external motivator to follow those limits.
i guess...
it is a little like drugs.
work is the only thing that enabled me to cut that back...
i wonder if work might be like that for me and babble too...hmm.
