There are places I haven't participated for going on two years now, and it has made all the difference in terms of productivity everywhere else in my life. <br /><br />The things to always ask yourself periodically with participation anywhere are, 1) how can I make a positive contribution?, 2) is it possible to make a positive contribution without being used?, 3) does my participation here further the goals I have set for myself, or does it enable me to remain in a rut?, and related to that... is there a sense of momentum here overall, or is it just a communal rut?<br /><br />It is challenging because the things that define social interaction on the 'net are so fluid, and what people come to bulletin boards are lists for tends to be very fluid and loosy goosy as well. Not everyone has the same goals, or has an even remotely altruistic streak, although it becomes immediately apparent who needs a keeper, who is hanging around to sponge, and who will never master google-fu.<br /><br />The hardest thing I ever did was to pull back and hold my cards closer to my chest. It has helped me to stay focused on one thing at a time (okay, upwards of three things at a time, which is an improvement over the baker's dozen I had going...)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592584406221528110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154645.post-73398106613137661092009-09-26T06:10:25.647-07:002009-09-26T06:10:25.647-07:00I really enjoyed your blog and I will miss it.
