Internet Overload!

I've decided that I've been spending way too much time on the internet - Twitter, Facebook, Etsy and so many others have occupied so much of my time lately that I haven't been able to focus on anything at all.  I thought I needed to be online so much to network with other crafters in order to sell my wares.  Now I think I just need to get back to basics - craft, craft, craft...

My new goal is to check facebook, twitter etc first thing in the morning and then again at lunchtime.  Otherwise I'll be crafting and photographing my items so that each evening I can spend time posting my new items on my Etsy shop and marketing them to my Twitter and Facebook friends at that time.  I've become addicted to Etsy Treasuries so I'm going to limit myself to trying once each day to get one - no more obsessing :)  Then there are all these other sites for crafters - ArtFire, MyCraftCorner, Zibbet, Craftgawker...  The list is endless!  Do I need to be on all of them?  I'm definitely going to do some research and polling to see which ones are the most beneficial.  It's all I can do to keep up with my Etsy shop and weekend fairs.  My number one priority is my craft and its quality - how can I do that if all day long I'm at the computer instead of my sewing machine. 

Looking for a happy medium,

Tracy
