Why I'm not blogging

I have five minutes. That's all I'll take for this. 

• There are all the things to write: papers, grants, letters of recommendation, evaluations of the students in the program I'm co-chairing, more papers, more grants, annual evaluations.
• I have trainees to mentor - it takes time to actually sit down with everyone, listen, and try to respond.
• I like to see my family. 
• I am giving seminars and conference presentations
• I'm doing research - I've been so excited to be coding lately! It's really great to be doing hands-on research.
• I'm teaching, grading, reading, meeting with students.
• Sometimes (often?) the things I'm thinking are much better said by other people.
• I'm sitting on committees at my University.
• I'm a council member.
• I'm peer-reviewing.
• I'm editing papers for journals. 
• I'm packing lunches, walking dogs, cleaning the house, grocery shopping...
• Sometimes, I make it to the gym.
• I bought a book I might get to read.

I love blogging. I love reading other people's blogs. So, maybe I can give myself five minutes here and there to do it more. 

Time's up. Back to work.
