Thanks Very Much, Chris… for taking the time. Mainly it was suggestions, some steps. Unplug and walk away for a bit. Many of the suggestions were to change it up and do video posts which I know you do very much but most recommendations stated were to include guest bloggers in the future. I've never done that but it does sound very interesting and maybe could be of great value and help.

Great post, I wish I had this medium of information when starting my companies decades ago. It was a lonely world and not too many people to help. The incredible amount of info from Social Media has incredibly changed my life. I'm glad you found what helped – where there any steps or advice your had on getting out of bloggers block or did they just give you some new ideas?

You are right, it is smart to put the phone down, but it is TOUGH! All over connectivity is a blessing and a curse.

Thanks, Shawn! Appreciate Your Time and kind words! I think a little time off…starting tomorrow is going to do a world of good. Rejuvenate the mind and soul. Just got to remember, as RB stated above, to put the phone down. Thanks again, very much!

Very well written. I can understand why you would feel some burnout with the websites you take care of!

You make an excellent point that the current framework (online social media) is the most recent form of connecting with people. The names and mechanics may change in the future but the concept will remain: networking and adding value to other's lives.

Thanks RB. Very true and unavoidable I suppose I know that I need to re-evaluate and listen more when it's time. And I intend on doing as much of that as I can. Thanks for taking your time. As you hopefully already know, I respect your thoughts and opinions very much…. & PS. I haven't forgot about those guest blogger ideas. Just might hit you up, if you're open to it, after I get back from my trip

Thanks for being honest. It is cool that you can be honest here.

I know the feeling, every couple of weeks I get tired of being “online” twitter and facebook and email and IM and ….. just overloads me and I need to take a break. It helps that a lot of the people I deal with online I can see in real life. It is nice to get outside and leave the phone behind.

Keep up the posts!
