Way back when working in the offline world, there seemed to be much more time. Now pensioned and getting into the social marketing, networking and media thing or at least giving it a shot – I seem to have no time.

The credit for these thoughts and the reason for this short post, goes entirely to Katherine Berry at Pajamas Media. She hit the nail right, smack on the head in her post, expressing what I’m sure a lot of us are thinking. Here’s a short excerpt of Katherine’s post ….

Even as I sit there trying to wrack my brain for something positive to say about the IM sender’s blog entry, I glance at Twitter and see that she’s announced to the world that she’s about to take a shower. Phew! I dash off a quick “LOL. Nice!” in the IM screen before closing it and launching my email client.

So I wade through the FriendFeed and my direct messages on Twitter. I buzz through my email and see that a good portion of the very same folks whose updates I’d just spent the past hour reading have also sent me email, so I dash off brief replies where appropriate. Just as I’m about to congratulate myself for having waded through all of that, another IM pops up from the same sender as earlier: “Did u see that vid I just blogged?” Crap. When do I get to spend my day on me?

What’s stealing your time?
