		<description>@Ginny - I like to think of it as pruning my schedule. I&#039;m not necessarily saying that a certain site is bad, or this job was horrible. Just that it wasn&#039;t for me at this time.

@Lorie - Yes, yes and yes! Writing in complete series will give you plenty of material - often from your own skill set and knowledge. It maximizes your time, your incoming links to main websites, and your revenue without burning you out! It&#039;s a win/win/win - the best kind.

@Amber - It&#039;s tough. It&#039;s such a balance. I have to admit there is one thing I let go that I recently picked up again. And there is something I kept that I probably should have let go. But that happens. That&#039;s part of life in general, right?</description>

		<description>@Chris It was hearing how helpful the discussion of my process was for you and a couple others I spoke with privately that made me realize this is something many may benefit from. :-)</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve taken this wonderful advice from you previously - and it&#039;s always worked out great. I still struggle with a few of the places I write for and whether or not to continue to do so. Some of them are so 50% / 50%. *sigh*</description>

		<description>I have been skirting around this habit for sometime. I am starting to face the reality that I need to eliminate some projects from my life. But, from your post, I&#039;ll take the perspective that I&#039;m paring down to focus on my passion and income stream. Not the idea that I&#039;m giving up! Thanks for the encouragement.</description>

		<description>Great advice, as usual, Angela.

I&#039;ve been using your idea about writing a series of articles based on the same research and it really does work. I&#039;ve found that it gives each individual article more focus and gives you a LOT more opportunity to get high search engine rankings.

Another thing that I&#039;ve found is that if I write about something I&#039;m passionate about, I probably already have a fairly large amount of knowledge of that topic. I&#039;m not saying that no research is necessary, but I think the research probably takes a lot less time than it would if I were writing about something I knew nothing about.</description>

		<description>This is something that I have struggled with since last summer. I have been doing similar inventory as you regarding several areas of my life. I quit a job to take on another big responsibility (sounds easy but it took me six months to make the decision!) and we totally rearranged the function of my blog so that it made things easier for me to manage. Just as you said, allowing me to focus on what is &#039;working&#039; and weed out what is not.</description>

		<description>@Sandra - A good way to look at it is like this - if it is something that has become an obstacle preventing you from reaching your goals, then it is time to let it go. Sometimes that means things that are fun, entertaining, or otherwise &quot;good&quot;. But if it&#039;s not right for YOU at this time, then why are you hanging on to it? :-)</description>
