So it is not a lack of time, at least in that I do appear to have time available for many or most of the things I want to do. I just find myself not knowing how to choose between some as options and daunted by the prospect of attempting others. In an attempt to make this easier I intend to determine how much time is required for the especially skill- and learning-based activities. Maybe I can make a spinny wheel thing for the others.
Seems like you haven't prioritised any of these. Which are more important to you? Which are more in line with your values? I learn at an Art-Business course at university that in general, 80% of ones time produces 20% of one's output, and only 20% produces the remaining 80%. In short, we tend to fritter our time away on things that in the short term produce less. Nothing wrong with that of course, but worrying about what one "ought" to do over what one is doing can be very counter-productive.
The other part of this (assuming there are only two) is getting away from these feelings of obligation about activities I do not necessarily wish to be pursuing at the time, this feeling that I must keep up with and read everything I subscribe to and not even cull that selection so long as I possess the capacity to make pretension of reading it. 'Read LiveJournal' is not what I wish my default activity to be. More than that I am wanting to be able to easily move on to other activities or even go to those first.
If it stops being fun, stop doing it. I no longer read my LJ every day. I go into Second Life less. I'm enjoying each more. When in doubt, simplify and prioritise.
