I am overwhelmed with email, Facebook, Twitter, Google alerts, Twitter, my three blogs, LinkedIn, and on and on and on. And, with this feeling of being overwhelmed, I render myself completely ineffective. Add this time of year to the bubbling cauldron and: OUT OF CONTROL!!

I came upon this article: this morning and I have vowed to print it and paste it (permanently) to the wall next to my desk.

So, I share it with you in the hopes that you too can find some Zen-ful tips (and serenity) in this madcap, twirl-a-whirl world of ours.

I’ve been experimenting with this Twitter phenomenon for the last two weeks, and maybe that’s not enough time, but holy smokeroo — what a waste! Actually, in fairness to the thing, there is probably a very nice, middle ground of folks who are not obsessed with inhaling thousands of followers and “twittering” every minute on the minute. Really! I am so SICK of seeing the same faces splattered all over my computer screen. Plus, you can feel the intensity of the thing spraying out at you – these folks are rabid! Anyway, back to some Zen sanity. After the slaughter, of course, that is if the twitterers can find me here in my cozy hideout!
