Feeling Anxious

In the immortal words of Tigger......ta ta for now!

I am taking a hiatus from Jland for awhile.  Several times in the past two weeks, I have caught myself either thinking or saying, "I have to catch up on my journal alerts".  Sadly, it has become a chore trying to sort through, read, and comment on over 100 alerts a day.  I just need a break before I get burned out on it. 

I'm going to turn off all my entry alerts and I won't be making any entries unless I have a MAJOR epiphany.  I plan to start back after September 30th so if you have an idea for a great entry, don't write it until after then (ha ha).

Peace to all and keep up the great work.

Chris

    I so understand this feeling.
    I love reading but it takes time to stop and comment. And it can seem like a chore which takes all the fun out of it.

    Enjoy your break:)   ha ha

    I take breaks all the time, that's why you only see an entry every few weeks....it's too easy to burnout if you start looking at it as a chore.  I don't use alerts often, usually go by a list and get to it when I have the leisure to relax and read...hope you figure it out, I look forward to reading more from you so don't stay away too long!
