Stop and smell the non-journalism roses, too

Posted on April 19, 2007 by Melissa Worden

Overwhelmed sometimes? Sigh … all of us feel it in this fast-paced, information-overload, competitive world.

Student Daniel Sato and journalist Ryan Sholin admit they have felt it plenty.

Blogging is a great learning tool for me, but I’m finding it also means that since this is an extension of my job (as professional development) I’m taking even more work home, and I’m ending up living, breathing, dreaming about multimedia and online journalism. This is so easy to do when you have a passion for something.

But one of my take-aways already from this blog: Sheduled breaks have to become a top priority. :)

I have to impose time limits on myself: No blogging after 10 p.m. It wakes me up so I can’t go to sleep even if I try. If blog after 10, I end up staying up way late and being sleepy the next day.

Also, if I have errands, I must do them before blogging or I will just sit here and work. Then life maintenance stuff never gets done.

But I love it! It’s totally worth it.
