Feedreaders and twitter clients nicely capture info for looking at anywhen. Now it is up to the individual to not let the pressure of constant communications beat her/him down. Priortization is key, as is recognizing that everything except a phone call that you answer is inherently asynchronous. Letting time pass here is what makes us healthier and with less stress. .-= Jon Prial´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.balancedbits.com/2010/05/juggling.html" rel="nofollow">Let's really talk about juggling things</a> =-.

I also feel as though I don't have enough time to keep up with my ideas or interests, let alone my responsibilities. It is a wonderful place to be, but sometimes I feel as though my output is diluted. Two things help me focus my effort: 1) forcing myself to rank my priorities and values - I literally write them down and rank 'em, so I know where I'll have the biggest impact toward achieving my goals, and 2) running, which just gets me out of "social" and "verbal" mode and into a much more balanced state of being. Great post, CV. Thank you for writing.

Two things help me focus my effort: 1) forcing myself to rank my priorities and values – I literally write them down and rank ‘em, so I know where I’ll have the biggest impact toward achieving my goals, and 2) running, which just gets me out of “social” and “verbal” mode and into a much more balanced state of being.

Great post, CV.

I've named my addition, and I am dealing with it. Seriously though, this is the biggest challenge of our adult lives-- using our time wisely. I have a similar 'can't put it down' thing going on with AuPairMom.com--- which only got under control when I designated it my 'official hobby'... something to be done during hobby time (which I then had to create). I manage the comments on that blog with my iPhone while I'm hanging out at Tae Kwon Do, and I write the posts when my kids are practicing the piano. I just yell out pointers to them from my office on the other side of the house. Everybody's happy. ;-) Kami,

I’m starting to think that twitter replies are even better hours later– I like the sustained release of endorphines from tweets over time better than an intense hit and then a fallow span… but that’s me. I’ve named my addition, and I am dealing with it.

Seriously though, this is the biggest challenge of our adult lives– using our time wisely.

I have a similar ‘can’t put it down’ thing going on with AuPairMom.com— which only got under control when I designated it my ‘official hobby’… something to be done during hobby time (which I then had to create). I manage the comments on that blog with my iPhone while I’m hanging out at Tae Kwon Do, and I write the posts when my kids are practicing the piano.

I'm lucky in that my work schedule is extraordinarily flexible and my boss trusts me implicitly because I'm good at my job and get my work done. It's the life part that suffers. I wonder if I could practice the anywhen philosophy in dealing with my blog - my work that I don't get paid for and that I'm the boss of. I'm trying to build something. I'm not sure exactly what. But there are no boundaries and I'm online all the time. Nothing about that work is urgent. And urgency isn't a pretty face to show when a situation doesn't call for it. So, one might call me compulsive. But anywhen could allow me the opportunity to be less hysterical, stressed out and concerned about when stuff happens. Because seriously, no one will die if I don't respond to their tweet immediately. Right? This idea of anywhen is provocative.
