I found that my experience taking a break was beneficial too, but as you know it is difficult to stay away for too long.<br /><br />A "timeout" give us the chance to reflect, and I think the realization that you came to is about giving your social media participation a tune-up. Less noise time (altho it can be fun and entertaining) on Twitter, and more "value" time on deep thinking, thoroughly researched blog posts, etc... I think it is easy to get lost in the sea of social sites, having a strategy and guide for when/how/where you're going to spend your time (much like Jeremiah Owyang does here - http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2007/11/29/how-i-use-twitter-and-you/ ) can make it easy to stay on track.<br /><br />That all said, welcome back my friend. Glad you didn't stay retired for an entire season!Ken Burbaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286190266169110325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398461213147469571.post-43649175181813439132009-09-09T11:57:51.923-05:002009-09-09T11:57:51.923-05:00Bry - thanks for the welcome back (and I am seeing...Bry - thanks for the welcome back (and I am seeing you now!)

Good to have you back on Twitter (though I had an inkling your "retirement" wouldn't last too long.)<br /><br />I think it's always wise to take the occasional break from activities that consume so much of our time. Gives us perspective on how we might do things better when we get back in the game.<br /><br />My two cents, though: Get rid of that new avatar photo. Kinda scary!<br /><br />Bryan | @BryanPersonBryan Personhttp://www.bryanperson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398461213147469571.post-68212403142154781342009-09-09T07:34:33.473-05:002009-09-09T07:34:33.473-05:00Aaron - best of luck with balancing everything.

Part of what I also discovered was that staying off the grid save for an occasional Facebook update is not a bad thing.
