Blogging has taken over one’s life….??

It is great to say and would be well worth reading for most aspiring full time bloggers (and seriously addicted part time ones). It’s very easy to allow blogging to overtake one’s life – the computer just sits there in the corner of your home tempting you to come have a look at what’s happening on your blog:

• calling to you to come see who has been commenting…
• dangling the carrot of checking your latest stats…
• making you wonder how much your earnings are up to for the day…
• drawing you to it to write just one more post…
• making you nervous about whether the server is holding up after that link on digg…

There’s something quite addictive about blogging that most full time bloggers have to face at one time or another. It’s probably some mix of the allure of being the center of attention, mixed with the excitement of the chase of the story and readership, mixed with way it can open up doors to new friendship and opportunities.

But there comes a point where many bloggers need to think about creating healthy boundaries around it in order to maintain other relationships, work on our physical well being and to just have a life.

Have you ever struggled with maintaining blog/life balance? What strategies do you have in place to keep things balanced?

Please do share ur thoughts….

Cheers…
