Oh no, I wont entirely go away. I “need” to blog. But I have cut back a lot on my surfing websites and blogs. I have conditioned myself to check digiscrapping forums only once a day (I wont miss anything important), and my Creative Team Forums twice a day. I also have limited posting all my layouts to my Flickr Album (you can see them in my side bar). I post to other online galleries for my creative team requirements. That way, I focus on what I scrap about and scrap for and not really scrap to have a “nice” layout. Journaling everyday even in a notebook helps so much. I have more focus.
I also have cut back hugely on my chatting online too. It has helped me scrap more and spend less time in front of the computer. And perhaps the most important cutback was my blog hopping. I am now just updated using a blog reader or an RSS Feed. I read ALL your blogs, but I havent been able to comment. (Sorry). I now have a blog action plan which I plan to post soon too. I plan to get caught up with comments soon. I have been toying with the idea of getting just one rss editor for all of my blogs and I can just give them to friends who want to get caught up with me. I have been trying to learn how to create rss from scratch but I think I am resigned to use an rss creator already. Feed Editor will be perfect for me. I just need to give them the RSS Feeds of my blogs and they will do the rest of the work! Not only do they create these, they can export RSS to HTML, CSV and JavaScript! That way, I can just give my RSS Feed to any of my friends and Im guaranteed my feed will work using any blog subscription.
It’s easier that way for me. I get to keep a part of my life I can’t live without (blog hopping in one window) that I dont have time for necessarily.
Don’t worry, Im not going to be completely offline. I will still prominently visible. Just not here ALL the time

Naku Aggie, parehas tayo. I’m not doing paid blogging na nga rin lately. I’ve cut back a lot on my online schedule since January 1. Goodluck to us!
Btw, I’m experimenting with RSS Feeds for a client of mine and it’s really a great tool. I’d definitely want to have one of yours when you’re done.
