I also am so happy that you said you don't feel guilty if it takes you some time to respond to an email. Yes, my family is a priority, but sometimes I feel so guilty by being slow to reply to someone. Thanks for this post. I really like your 5 sentence rule.

It's sooo easy to just sit down for a cuple of minutes and then spend there an entire hour!!! I like your own fences for not being traped by the computer. I have some like you and 'cause my kids are small too i'm trying to be on my desk when they're sleeping so I can concentrate on what I'm doing. I just don't feel comfortable being on the compu and having a 3y girl constantly asking form mommy or asking me question, or having a husband who is rarely at home and me being at the desk. I'll try to do the no compu on the weekends. Though it's a time when i have the time to be there, it's when i'm missing my family the most because i'm not there. Thnks for the encouragement :) I know what you mean by getting traped by the bloggin, computer time. It's sooo easy to just sit down for a cuple of minutes and then spend there an entire hour!!!

Also, I mostly do computer time (which for me really consists of checking this blog, rarely any others, and email) I do all that during nap time/quiet time too. I sometimes also take a small break time another time of the day when my husband is with the kids say after supper for a few minutes or something, as a nice time to myself, but its mostly during nap times- usually just part of that time.

One thing that I can relate to in this is having to stop commenting on other blogs. It literally pains me as I so strongly believe in the community aspect of blogging . . . but there is just only so much I can do. Creating new content for TWO blogs is extraordinarily difficult as it is - there is just no way I can comment like I want to. I do read most of my favorites in a reader, but I do struggle with the guilt of not clicking through. I know where that guilt is coming from, and it's not holy conviction of the Spirit! ;) Thanks for sharing these practical tips! Thanks for sharing these, Stephanie.

I find that I spend way too much time on the computer, and I really hate that. I totally know what you mean about how a "I'm going to take two minutes to check this" can turn into 20 minutes in a snap. Thanks for the great things to think about!

I have been realizing how much internet time has become an unhealthy priority in my life--and I am glad to see that such a wonderful blogger doesn't have to spend so much time online.
