I'm often so focused on the instant gratification - views, shares, etc - that I'm not sure I even realized there's an entirely different part of blogging. The legacy. Thanks for that new perspective!<br />(And I've got zero balance in my life but I'm enjoying it the chaos as best I can!)Kristahttp://www.simplepeachcreates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-25898551469624753332015-05-20T02:31:59.852+10:002015-05-20T02:31:59.852+10:00Most of my "balance" comes from no commi...Most of my "balance" comes from no commitment blogging - I blog when I want to about what I want to and don't worry about frequency for the most part.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-64572846334668163872014-09-29T11:39:06.608+10:002014-09-29T11:39:06.608+10:00Love your point about "Don't multitask.&q...Love your point about "Don't multitask." This is my worst enemy. I have about 16 tabs open on the computer, plus another 16 tabs open in my brain.

It was so nice just to watch and enjoy their playing without the temptation of checking Instagram or emails.<br />Rebecca - I so miss those days of train travel and the time you had to sit and think!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-56649761544838340412014-09-14T19:21:34.025+10:002014-09-14T19:21:34.025+10:00I have 1.5 hours train travel time per day, 3 days...I have 1.5 hours train travel time per day, 3 days a week, to and from work.

Keeping up with all the Facebook groups, Instagram, email & other peoples blogs is where I'm finding it hard. I'm BFing my youngest so I find it's very easy to sit on my phone flicking through stuff then but sometimes I fall down a hole & she's stopped feeding but I'm still reading/scrolling....time to step away from the phone & allocate time to that the same way I do with my blog.

It feels like a more creative outlet and I often doodle and sketch at the same time.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540957118761651807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-77347732882243455962014-09-12T09:18:11.716+10:002014-09-12T09:18:11.716+10:00Great tips & truths here!

I'm lucky in that I have lots of time and can plan my own schedule, but I've also found that it's ok to blog when I want to and to take a break or skip a few days or weeks if I want to because for me it's a hobby and a no-pressure one at that.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.com
