Finding the work/life/web balance…
I’ve written in the past about internet schizophrenia resulting from signing up to too many sites.
But recently I’ve suffered the same problem from committing to too many projects, and a compulsion to be online, contactable, and working on all of them.
Recently I’ve worked on:
The relaunch of motorcyclenews.com.
The relaunch of disposablemedia.co.uk.
Becoming Editor of the Dipsosable Media PDF magazine (Issue 6 out now!)
Freelance writing for Strategy Informer.
Freelance writing for Gamestyle.
Freelance writing for Eurogamer.

*phew*….I think that’s the lot. Oh, and there are plenty of things going on in my personal life, including one of the biggest and most stressful things people can ever experience (It involves putting things into cardboard boxes, then unpacking them again somewhere else)
So I’ve had to take some time to evaluate which of these gives the most pleasure, the most reward, and the most benefits to either myself or my career. It’s something I don’t do enough, because I want to get involved everywhere and do everything.
Step one is to file emails as soon as they arrive, and be honest to myself about which ones I’m never going to use/reply to.
Step two is to clear out bookmarks and particularly RSS feeds for sites I never read or use. I’m paranoid that one day someone will be discover the secret of wealth, happiness and eternal life and I’ll miss it, but if it’s truly an important story, it’ll end up on one of my other RSS feeds anyway.
So, anyone got any tech tips for step three in making me less stressed, and more organised?
My own convergence…
I’m slowly, but surely, taking the web 2.0 mantra of convergence on board, and finally organising and converging my many web outlets and identities.

Obviously I’m also on MyBlogLog, but it’s interesting that Jason Calcanis has suffered from some alleged MyBlogLog hacking. Thank God my obscurity should keep me safe from harm!
It never rains….
..but it pours…
Updates will be posted later in the day as normal this week due to a few different things.
One is a major project, which should be launching shortly.
The other is a major project, which should be launching shortly.
The second one is a part of www.disposablemedia.co.uk. In a shocking turn of events, I’m now Editor of the whole kit and caboodle, including the website and PDF magazine.
So there goes any free time I might have had!
Incidentally, another of my reviews is now online at Strategy Informer. This time, it’s a review of Battlestations: Midway. So go and read it now!
