Social junkie.
I am in serious trouble.
It is approaching midnight in Portland. Aside from a few dog walks and 15-minutes each for lunch and dinner at nontraditional hours of the day, I’ve been at my computer with an iPhone ear bud in my right ear -ALL DAY. The skin on my face feels warm from the bright glare of the screen. And I have another long night ahead after ending yesterday’s efforts somewhere close to three this morning.
I am woman hear me whine!
Clearly I’m not practicing good time management skills. I am being too chatty, too social with client vendors and business colleagues. And thanks to facebook, I am in touch with people who otherwise would have been part of my past, people who are part of my present and people I am just getting to know who are sure to be pivotal in my future. Social networks and technology may be the death of me but most days I cannot get enough of it.
Which would you rather say at the end of a day: my files are pristine, my desk is neat or I yakked with a ton of interesting people today, creating some good will for my clients and it never seemed like work plus I reminded a handful of personal friends I was thinking of them? Stopping to smell the roses is good advise. Making the time to listen ranks right up there with it.
Enjoy the small talk!
