Hi,
not sure I like the term, but yes, I’m a lurker. I, too, arrived here via Zen Habits where I regularly read and have posted only once.
Love your writing style and appreciate the things you have to say.
Trying hard not to get drawn into the same scenario as you describe and therefore only flit, don’t wallow.
I’ll be around – lurking.
Cheers,
Cate

I recently learned that being a Super Woman is a myth. I can’t do it all or by myself. Asking for help has humbled me. However, I need to make sure I ask the right people for help; those who have my best interests at heart.

Hi Annabel,

In answer to your short survey at the end of this article, I’m a first time visitor to your site. I found my way here from Leo Babauta’s site Zen Habits, based on your guest post on moving house and decluttering.

I suspect a lot of your “lurkers” might just be people who enjoy reading articles on various blogs–and may be greatly helped by those articles– but don’t necessarily feel compelled to respond to every (or any) single article on every single blog that they read, as to do so could eat up a lot of time. It seems to be human nature that individuals generally won’t speak up about something unless something about an issue inspires or compels them to take a stand or offer their two cents worth, which is kind of unfortunate because humanity really needs that “silent majority” to start speaking up and add their voices to issues that matter to them.

I recognize that it helps bloggers to get feedback about both the content of the articles and the demographics behind the statistics: I’m not so sure it’s helpful to inadvertently leave readers with the potential impression that they are obligated to comment, at risk of otherwise being classified as a “lurker” .

Anyway, good luck getting your too long to do list down to a manageable size so you don’t burn yourself out. Also, be careful with the self-diagnoses and labels as labels can have an insidious tendency to become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Referred to you by an article from Zen Habits and love your blog! I have a friend in Australia and she and I have planned to meet…we tried to once on a LONG walk on the Camino in Spain but I did not go..work got in the way. But I am determined to go and meet her and see some of Australia.
I need to focus on what is important and declutter my life
(some of which I did when moving from a fairly large house to a condo) but I used to live in Peru and Honduras and my traveling feet are getting itchy to go again now that my daughter is raised…and married. I look to you for inspiration to live my dreams! I love someone in Canada and I hope he will go with me on these trips but even without him I am determined to go!

Thank you for such a lovely blog. I will twitter and follow you!
My friend in Australia is a travel consultant too!!!

Great article for women and men alike.

We’re all pulled in far too many directions these days, and there’s no way most of us can accomplish everything we need to get done. Sounds like you’ve set your priorities and that should help bring some sanity to your life.

BTW — I’m a blog stat junkie. Not good, I know, but I’m telling myself its normal. Makes me feel better…
