How practical is this new technology?

This blogging thing is no easy task. In a world where everything is "go, go go" I find it hard to find time for this new informal learning adventure. So how am I adapting to this new adventure. Each day I find myself spending at least some time thinking about this blog and my informal learning path coming off the Learning 2006 conference. Making the commitment to writing this blog was also a commitment to pursuing the personal learning experiences at the conference. Without that commitment many of the new ideas would be getting "cold" and more distant in my mind.

So time is my big challenge. My daily ritual includes a cup of coffee with cream and 45 minutes of quiet time each morning. That seems to be the time when I write here in the blog. Once the business day starts there seems to be not time at all for this learning activity. Was reading the Q2Learning newsletter this morning and came across the article, "the Medium (is Not Always) the Message". If you click on the link you can get a download of this two page article. Some interesting questions about time, focus, goals and promoting independent learning. Time is up for this morning. More later.
