I have been out of the online community loop for the past few weeks, and I’m sitting here trying to figure out why it happened.
OK, so I’ve started a full time business, and yes, we’re very busy already…but is that any excuse? If anything I should be writing all the time, telling of my great adventures. But I’m not.
Frankly, it just hasn’t occurred to me to blog, or Twitter, or even to keep up with my newsreader. I could say I haven’t had the time, but I don’t think that’s it. Am I bored with it? No – the stuff I read on blogs and the people I chit chat with here and there are FAR more interesting than anything on TV or in the newspaper. Hell, people – I live in Ottawa! All we are bombarded with right now are the frickin’ Stanley Cup playoffs and I could really care less about that whole thing. On the web, people are talking about something other than hockey – what a relief!
I think it’s just that I haven’t had the brain space for all of this information. My business partner and I have been on a path of drastic change…new jobs, new office, and hey I even have a new wardrobe and new hair! It’s big change. My brain is full of all of the stuff we have to do, have to learn, and at the end of the day I simply can’t absorb any more.
So what am I to do with all of this extra information? I feel like I’m missing out, but at the same time I feel like one more blog post and my head will explode.
I’m sure it will settle down, my partner and I will get into a groove and I will be able to make space for my online world again. Until then, fellow Webernetters, I will have to just pop in and out, and try to get back some of my brain cells in the process.

I just wrote about this as a matter of fact:

I have found the less I am on Twitter, Second Life, Blogs, etc…the MORE I accomplish in terms of projects, goals and income generation.
I am starting to think that being OFFLINE more is the key to success! 😉
