That's kinda like me – I'd rather blog or read blogs than sit watching TV

I may be mistaken, but didn´t you mention in previous interviews how you would only work certain days of the week, dedicating others to church, girlfriend, family etc? Did you increase your working days to the full week as you grew your affiliate business?

Second (or third) that on the relational aspect of taking a day off. I didn't realize how much time either physically that I spent on work, or emotionally (how much I talked about work even when I wasn't) until I literally fasted work for a few days. It didn't take long before my wife specifically remarked upon it. I now try to block out my time to have hyper-focused periods of productivity so I'm not partially-distracted the rest of the time.

Wow, Bryn, I thought I was the only a-hole to neglect his girlfriend But seriously, I have been guilty of that too, especially since I am a n00b and I need to absorb as much info as possible…and I feel like crap when I neglect family, friends, the g/f, etc. Maybe I just need to take a couple days off or at least a breather.

I am guilty of this. Any spare time I have I'm on here monitoring my stats and networks while thinking up new campaigns to try…I am going to start taking my Saturdays off because I feel bad lately feeling like I am completely ignoring my girlfriend while she sits by herself doing her own thing as I sit my ass on the computer worrying about things like how my campaigns are doing….it's lame.
