It seems like that everyday to me, although I don't succumb. I do put it on the back burner from time to time, but have stopped feeling guilty. At the end of the day it's all about prioritizing what's most important to get done each day and some days it's not going to be blogging and AR.

If that happens, it is called an excuse. When we discover something that must be done for the reasons at the time, then we do it! My morning routine consists of blogging, posting and commenting plus all the other wake-up stuff

Paul,

There are two of us, that is a great help.  A

Yes, this entire year has been tough to blog, but I still get it done, though I am often half asleep as I type

yes. not just online work, but important work sometimes bunches up. i need to get better at lists/and prioritizing .

Amazing how time flies!

Yes I do.

Sometimes it is a challange

Definitely. This was a particularly hectic week, but I'm baaaack!

Of course we all do - and when you get busy- we miss you but you have to put out the fires first! 

A good problem to have - as it indicates that activity is picking up for you. Go where the revenue is!

Often.  I've come to the point where commenting on Q & A is a relaxing and fun thing to do at the end of the night.  I rarely blog anymore as my business is coming from other places.  It's just fun to come on here when I can.

Good morning Paul. Sure it happens, but rarely. I handle all my social media early in the morning, as that works best for me.

Make it a great weekend!

 Good Saturday morning Paul. Yes!

Oh yes...that does happen. This has been one of those weeks with the state convention happening. I'm at the convention, and I've had a pretty tight schedule. There hasn't been any time to use the hotel pool or hot tub, either. 

There are only 24 hours in a day and on some occations some things have to give

Yes it has happened many times. I have tried to get some extra blogs put into draft for a rainy day but lately I can't even seem to do that.

When I don't have time, I don't mind putting AR on the back burner.

This may be like the farmer cursing the sun.

If my 'busy' is directly connected to those activities, putting them on the back burner is like the misguided farmer.

If however, business is not related to those activities, may your real business displace your need to spend time here.

Yes, a nice predicament.

Yes.  Blogging goes to the back burner in as far as the mandatory daily post may not happen until evening.  But the true back burner is reserved for reading and commenting.  There are more than a few days lately that I've had almost zero time to visit blog posts and comment, so I respond on my "home turf" and try to catch up later with everyone else.  The two job thing has been a bit hectic lately.

I guess they do, but usually I am so tired I just say no.

Yep Paul but we know what are responsibilities.

Paul - Yes, there are times, however, I try to get my comments in each day.

Oh yes, my blogging has been way down this year...and that is fine w/ me.  I just have been doing 1 quality epic post/month and then some stuff on here as time allows.

You make time for it. It is like an addiction. Some people turn on TV some people head for more food.

Always, my clients come first and it's been very busy. But I do try to come in here every day.

Some of my ActiveRain activities will soon be going to the back burner because I have other things to do.

Unfortunatly yes, however I mostly get busy with life, not business.

Sure although I try to maintain a schedule -- life and stuff happens.  Don't feel guilty, Paul.
