I was looking for your comment and didn't see it until just now. Weird, So sorry for the delayed response. But, I think you nailed it. It boils down to time. I guess it depends if you focus a lot on a little or a little on a lot. I try to focus a lot on a lot. That obviously gets harder as more connectivity results. Just wondering if you have any advice or experience on some tools that you like that could help out the challenge of it all. Thanks so much for your post, and once again very sorry for the delayed response :) Thanks Katie! I was looking for your comment and didn't see it until just now.

I love em! can't get a lot done because of them! but am great at multitasking!<br><br>question is...why do you need to filter? why can't you check every nook and cranny? I suppose time may be an issue. Curious George here just asking a question. well Dan..I am the textbook ADD of distractions.

question is…why do you need to filter? why can't you check every nook and cranny? I suppose time may be an issue. Curious George here just asking a question.

I really like how you put it into perspective. It's nice to hear it from someone else what I believe to be true, as well. As some point you do have to "shrink" it down to size compared to real life. Having said that, I also utilize it as a means to form new relationships personal and business therefore it has developed into an important part of my life. I have been thinking about it more lately due to the difference of what it consumed time frame wise in my life in the beginning versus what I can allow it to if I choose to do so now. Anyway, I really appreciate your thoughts and taking the time to share some wonderful points I really enjoyed reading. :) Thanks, Again and have a great day! Thanks, Helen.

It’s a loaded question... I think the tipping point is constantly changing, we are constantly moving that bar, rearranging and becoming accustom to what is bring brought to the table. I think we all filter according to our own personal desires, ethics, interests, etc., but that boundary is always moving, as we are always changing. You ask what distractions are truly of value and I think you would have to define what those distractions are; today Social Media is the main income for many, not for me personally but holds a big place in my own business.<br> I think it is our human nature to balance according to what we value, to all the things that really matter, that really move the heart. Which, in my opinion, is also why Social Media is so successful. We aren’t just watching news feeds... we are establishing relationships with people that we may never have if it were not for this outlet... and sometimes with those right under our feet. Isn’t it a wonderful thing. As for me, I put God first and Social Media is somewhere under there... and as with everything else it gets juggled around, haha. Just my thought.<br>H.
