It really is just one of a thousand ways we can choose to spend our time. This quote from a Heinlein novel captures my personal sentiments about journalling, and I think it applies to blogging to some degree: "People who are busy and happy don't write diaries; they are too busy living." (Of course, I just started my own blog a couple months back, right? ;) I have a philosophy about physical clutter that I suspect may apply to information clutter, too. It's this: sometimes it's not good enough just to find new and improved ways of filtering or organizing the clutter. Sometimes you just have to chuck stuff out entirely.
