“If you counted how many hours you weren’t being productive, you could probably fit a whole other job in there. I certainly know I could.

Personal blogging is maintenance for the soul. If you ignore it because you’re "busy" it’s just going to make your other projects slow down as you become less effective from the strain.”

This is a subject which always puzzles me.

I do let myself "waste" time this way regularly. This is the time I spend commenting on various websites and forums, watching youtube videos, chatting with friends about weather and food, etc. And I know it's necessary.

But I can't control this time. It's almost defined this way. Giving up control on myself, letting me go.

And I regularly look at all this time and think that it could have been better employed. If only...

Well, anyway, the thing is, I don't know if I would do personal blogging during such time. Centralizing things and posting them in one place takes some effort, and during this "zombie" time I can't provide any effort.
