Should I Stay or Should I Go?

// April 13th, 2011 // 2 Comments » // Balance, Life in General, Time Management

These lyrics from The Clash have been spinning around in my head a lot lately.  I have just  not been able to give Nix9to5 the kind of focus or attention it needs or deserves, and I’ve been really considering just letting it go.

Once I finally decided to get on here to write my farewell post, I had second thoughts.  First of all, the domains Nix9to5.com and Nics9to5.com (did you know you could find me that way, too?) are paid up through next February–and you KNOW I don’t want that money to go to wasted.  Second, I keep thinking, “But I’ll eventually get caught up”–or at least close enough to caught up–to put some energy into this blog.

So, despite the fact that my posts have been unfocused, sporadic, and at times virtually nonexistent, I am still here.  I have not forgotten the blog, or its tens of loyal readers.

I’m going to do some soul searching in the next few days (or, let’s be honest–weeks), and decide what to do with the blog.  Should I let it lapse?  Should I find a new focus for the site?  Should I continue with my random mishmash mayhem of coupon/wahm/cooking/mommy blog?

“This indecision’s bugging me . . . Should I cool it or Should I blow? . . . Should I stay or should I go?”
