Who or what is missing out?
Do you find you have to make time to stay in touch with your online friends or do you find you naturally spend time here to the detriment of other areas?
How do we find a balance?
I find that just as I make time to go and visit friends I have to set a time limit on what I do online. I try to set aside an hour a day for my online activities. I also encourage my physical life friends to join my online sites so they can keep in contact.
When I am travelling it is easier to update my social media so everyone knows where I am & what I'm doing. I often find it frustrating when people who are not on social media complain because I haven't contacted them.
I still love going and seeing someone and sitting down and having a coffee, but when I am super busy it is great to just be able to say "Hi" online.
I find if I don't schedule my time for online activity and times for offline activity then it all gets out of balance.
For me, once again, the solution is time management, but not being so scheduled that I can't be spontaneous.
Often when we become aware that something is a problem then we are half way towards solving it.
When it all gets too much, just get a glass of water and sit in nature for a while to re balance yourself.
