Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts and ideas. I’m glad to hear your opinions.

Social media is addictive but the VERY media people who I have been trying to explain this too still DO NOT GET it. It is actually trying me LOONEY. So, I decided to stop sharing with them so in about 5 years if they ask me we will see if they move ahead.

So sad.

Thanks for sharing, Chris.

Hmm..maybe I need to come to Boston and check out Podcamp out there too! ;)

I started my blog as a way to collect my thoughts and empty my head on microbusiness topics that come up, while I find my own way to independent work. I hoped to start some conversations about what folks are doing, what tools they are using, etc. But I got far more than that.

Now, especially with Twitter, I’ve got a growing network of friends and colleagues where I give and get help as I pull together a business model that works and suits me. Their support, encouragement, ideas, and feedback are always pushing me forward. I wake up eager to see what’s been happening while I slept.

The challenge is always: How do I prioritize what needs to get done in the next 24 hours, and what will I do with the Undones?

This morning, I read some email, made a call, blogged about an article and sat out by the pool.

Sitting out by the pool (on vacation) with the kids was the best social thing I could do today (aside from reading a Chris Brogan article :)

See you at PodcampNYC

I simply want to know what you use to manage your schedule, Chris. What calendaring software or life management software you use — do you carry around a pencil & notepad as well?

“…STARTING and MAINTAINING good things” – love that!

For me, i find the challenge to be that sometimes I think too much or I censor myself. I want to contribute and have something meaningful to say, but sometimes I get stuck in my own head. I am passionate about connecting with people. It is powerful, enlightining, wonderful and fun. I just have to get out of my way first.

You do keep very productive in a helpful to others way which is most fulfilling as you know. Your schedule is so high powered? What’s your blood type-O?

I so agree with you about listening, commenting, contributing, and communicating with people. The more authentic one is, the bigger return but without focusing on the return is best imho.
