I do still visit all commenters and a few others on my regulars list.<br />Most housekeeping.<br />Dinners that take more than an hour to prepare.<br />Longer response times on emails because I only go there a couple times a day.<br />Quarterly interaction only with my goals group.<br />Increased Facebook time because I can reach more friends and readers in less time than by blogging.<br />Regular contact with blogging buddies.<br />Random shopping trips.<br /><br />It's hard but worth the effort.Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745686632918324803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-54462059047003670432015-07-06T16:32:42.482-04:002015-07-06T16:32:42.482-04:00Well done on the word count.

When I'm immersed in a WIP, the housework and the crossword puzzle are the first things to go. I don't really watch a lot of TV to begin with, so i don't have to give that up. But I often have to give up pleasure reading and just stick to reading related to info I need for the WIP.
