I tend to get that way with MySpace and Facebook, keeping up with my real life friends. I messed with Second Life a little bit, but saw that it could really suck me in. How are people using it educationally? Pat: I’ve noticed that you seem to use Twitter a lot. I tend to get that way with MySpace and Facebook, keeping up with my real life friends.

I do not post on my blog on the weekends and use that time to catch up on blog reading, and getting inspiration from others. I also take time to put balance in my life by gardening, hiking, crocheting, and reading so that I'm not all consumed with the computer (which I can do very easily!). When I'm on the computer, I am on twitter a lot and gaining inspiration from all the other educators around the world. I am also exploring other tools on the wb such as Second Life.

Glad to hear that Twitter is beginning to bring more people in. I have subscribed to your blog feeds and will begin to dig through them some more as time allows. Stengel99: It's interesting that you noted the "life with margins" concept. This morning, I came across Trent's review of the book <a href="http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2008/03/16/review-margin/" rel="nofollow">Margin</a> on <a href="http://www.thesimpledollar.com/" rel="nofollow">The Simple Dollar</a> this morning. It appears to address some of these key concepts. Carter: Thanks for the link. Glad to hear that Twitter is beginning to bring more people in.

The idea being if you don't have margins in life, how are you ever going to have time or energy to deal with the unscheduled events that occur throughout the day that are really what make life special? For a more literal response to your situation, have you used the book "101 Rhythmic Rest Patterns" by Grover Yaus/Alfred? Unlike most rhythm studies, this one focuses on rests.
