Effective Online Forum Usage by Steve Pavlina
Steve Pavlina, whose shares his many insights on personal development at his self-named blog, has compiled a list of chatsite pros and cons in his article
Effective Online Forum Usage.
I found my head nodding in agreement with each of his points and found particular benefit in his suggestions of how to better manage chatsite experiences, which are summarized as
- Take a Forum Fast
- Reassess Your Forum Usage Habits
- Clarify Your Expectations
- Establish Reasonable Boundaries
- Let It Go
- Replace Online Socialization with Face to Face Contact
- Be a Dabbler, Not a Fixture
- Avoid Addiction
Online forums can be a powerful productivity tool, but self-awareness and discipline are required to prevent them from becoming a pitfall of procrastination.Steve Pavlina

of the waiting earth
the moon lifted with
slow majesty
till it swung clear of the horizon and rode off,
free of moorings
