> [@Heffalump\_and\_Roo](#): > > It’s impressive how much time/energy you seem to have. I always think that it would be a lot if all you did was post on the Dope. But how do you do all this other stuff as well? Any secrets? It probably helps that I multi-task a lot and only sleep 4-6 hours per night. That and I have eclectic interests so I tend to jump around, get really into some things for a while and then move on to something else. As an example before I found the Dope I spent a lot of hours on Snopes, Wikipedia, Sci-am, Wired, New Scientist and about 15 baseball sites and others. Most of these hours went into the Dope instead. I’ll get really into something for a while and then drop it, like model trains or my environmental work really only works out to 3-5 hours a week which I think some people put into church and I don’t spend a minute on church related stuff. For baseball watching I am usually on the PC or Laptop at the same time and throughout the day I have short period to check and post on the dope. I’ve got yard work, which I don’t like down to 2 hours a day. There is always time to help with homework or tuck the kids in and to play games with them or get them started cleaning their rooms. When I find something I like on the Internet though I tend to rip through it quickly. Before I started posting on the Dope, I had pretty much ripped through the entire SD archive in a period of a few weeks. When I discovered UserFriendly, I read from the beginning in a manic style over a few weeks. I have done the same with other webcomics I like. As I mentioned above, I get kind of obsessive about things that interest me. When I was doing a lot of wood working, I went a little overboard with making toys and tables and odds and ends and then I virtually stopped for quite a few months. Same thing with HO scale trains and other Hobbies like when I rebuilt an old pinball machine. I became a minor expert for a few months and got it restored to fair condition and then several months later I barely play with it. There is probably some form of mania that describes me, but it seems to work for me well enough. Now if I only I could get that enthused about exercise again. I did for a while in the Navy and again in my 20s but my 30s was pretty much all about being physically lazy most of the time. Well that was probably more than you wanted to know. Sorry, Jim ---
