# Setting my priorities straight

By Roy Osherove July 13, 2004 In [Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 13, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

Blogging will be a little lighter than usual in the next few weeks  I have a life that I have been neglecting a bit and I need to attend to. So - I'll be here.. in spirit. but I'll blog whenever I'll have something \*really\* important I need to say or do. Like the Addin contest for example.

I have to learn how to balance my schedule more effectively. right now I need to get my priorities straight. But I'll be here and in the community still, just not at the same frequency.
