Life clutter
A friend of mine left a comment on my post about consolidating my digital life that I thought was really important.
As we can live more and more in the online universe, I think it will become essential to learn how to moderate and ask ourselves, "what am I really *getting* out of this? Am I giving more of my life to X or Y online community than I'm getting out?" -- just like we would any other activity in our "real" lives.
Life gets shorter all the time, and sometimes I'm surprised how much of it I spend on the internet.
I thought this was particularly apt, because I had not considered the problems I had outlined as being worth solving or not. I found I agreed with her. Before I picked up my job, I had a lot of free time, so I had time to devote to tweaking my digital identity, and I got out as much as I put in. Now I have only an hour or so a day to do whatever I want, and I find that less and less of that is spent using the Internet to find solutions to problems it creates.
It's important to recognize that when your circumstances change, your needs change, and your tools have to change, too. So, to battle the clutter, I removed all the blogs I hardly read from Google Reader as a first step. It's a step toward prioritizing, since there are only so many hours in a day, and only so many days.
