Exit strategy

by EllieGant @ 20/01/2009 – 20:05:55

Has anyone ever developed an exit strategy from blogging?

I ask this only because my plan was to make a pie for dinner, then practise the piano whilst it was cooking.

But I am still here. And the piano is over there. And the pie smells like it is burning.

Good bye.

      I think the solution is willpower - but I haven't found mine yet!

Well, despite my elaborate strategies, I am still here (hating myself for being such a weakling)

  Well, I am glad about that - I enjoy reading your blog.
  
  But I agree it is bizarre that something that is supposed to be a bit of fun or social interaction can induce so much self-loathing about lack of willpower!

You just find something else to do with your time!

  Well, I don't have to search too hard - I have a ton of interests waiting for me. Problem is most of them require a bit of energy and concentration - and blogging is the easiest to do when tired!

I used to burn the pies in the oven so I bought a timer..just posted it on my blog to show you!!

  That's a good idea! I've tried putting the timer on the oven - but it usually goes off when I am mid-comment, so I ignore it and the OH says resignedly "I'll get it...!"
  
  Off to inspect this timer of yours now...

  My problem is that blogging is easy to do if you are feeling too tired or stressed to do anything that requires a lot of concentration.
  
  That sounds rather dismissive of blogging, I know... but SERVE IT RIGHT! X

  Actually, even if I do sound boastful, it was pretty good - just a shame that it had a side dish of footie to go with it!

Feeling bored and lonely is usually the best way to guarantee there will be none of your friends on blog and nothing that you can relate to. Does that count?

  Well, that's certainly worked on recent occasions, particularly if you keep stumbling across cryptic and paranoid posts that you'd rather not know about x

The new lappy has Vista on it and there is a timer on there....you can set permissions to turn it off at a certain time. My son has just discovered I have set it for him....he ain't happy but I am!

Connect a keyboard to your computer and teach the kids to cook.
There!
Next question?

  It's a great idea ... except I don't have any kids!

      No need to apologise, medear.
      
      I've got stepchildren but they're grown up and left home. And even if they hadn't, I think I'd still prefer to risk Dog's cooking!
