Striking a balance between living and blogging
A co-worker referenced this XKCD comic today as he suggested focusing on enjoying the time I’ll be abroad and not worrying too much about blogging. The balance between experiencing the moment and blogging is something that I’ll be thinking about in the days leading up to my departure. It often takes me a lot of time to compose what I consider to be a good blog post and in addition to the time it takes to write it, I often spend most of the day letting the thoughts simmer on the back of my mind.
I will be challenging myself to set a time limit of 15 minutes for each blog entry and will be making my best effort to otherwise not think about puttings things online.
Time’s up for today. This is a lot tougher than I thought.

I hear ya on this one. It is a difficult balance. I really do enjoy keeping my thoughts in a blog for my own record and account, but at the same time, it does take a lot of my time to generate and compose these thoughts.
