Blogging Addiction Disorder
The author has been concerned for a while that she might be addicted to blogging. Symptoms include wanting to post instead of working on a book proposal and other, likely more important projects. She was thinking of crowd-sourcing how best to describe this disposition, but it turns out the Internet already provides a diagnostic term:
Blogging Addiction Disorder, a.k.a. BAD, a possible variant of Internet Addiction Disorder.
That’s enough for today. (NTW, I’ll get back to work now.)

Been there, doing that!
I’ve got a book in the hopper too, but blogs take a lot of writing time and energy.
I’d give you good advice, but I wouldn’t follow it.
Good luck with your work.
Hah, good one, Elaine!
I find the easiest way to stay focused on other projects needing my attention is to write and schedule posts in blocks, usually on a Sunday afternoon, when it’s quiet. That way, I have fewer excuses and distractions for cracking on with the pressing reports that need finishing and only have to write one or 2 ad hoc posts during the week.
Simple but effective strategy :)
Sally and Kate,
Of course, I’m not sure I have it, or that it’s a problem if so. I was just looking it up, and thought I’d share…
Blogging’s fun, like many vices, harmful addictions and some really good things; I have trouble keeping my hands off the keyboard just as I have trouble not compulsively reading what comes by my way.
