Content creation and TIME

We often hear the grumbles about information overload but for the millions who use the internet to conduct searches information overload doesn't apply in the sense that I understand it.
These countless millions may want to buy stuff or sift out facts, figures and data in which they have a specific interest but information overload in these cases will stem mainly from being spoilt for choice.
I consider myself to be a 'content creator' and information overload affects me because many gurus out there in cyberspace seem determined to help me - for payment that is - to better my performance. Relatively few ever come up with a new take on well covered subjects.
I intend to carry on muddling through and teaching myself as I go along. I contend that using the internet is largely a matter of trial and error. However, as a lone operator, information overload for me is not a crucial issue but TIME is!
It's ridiculous to think that time is not fully appreciated until later years when so much has been wasted in one's earlier formative years.
The issue of time utilisation is particularly important for me at the present time. I am currently trying to keep several balls in the air at the same time and juggling is not a skill with which I'm particularly conversant.
I've decided to shift my office to a different room in the house. This involves some complicated modifications and adjustments to furnishings - and my desk in particular. 
Running concurrently with this I want to carry on with my computer based activities, find time to watch the football world cup matches and fit in eating and sleeping periods.
I just haven't learnt the art of  delegation and that's one reason why I'm re-arranging the house myself and not getting a co-author to help with the blogging. 
I'm guilty of not having the patience to explain to potential helpers what I am hoping to achieve and the time scales involved.
Right now I'd like to be writing posts on the football and politically there is presently a lot going on both domestically and on the global stage. 
Ah well...right now my posts will be less frequent but please bear with me over the next couple of months as I've also got a holiday to fit in and when I'm on holiday I just want to relax and get away from everything relating to computers!
It makes me cringe to think of the time I wasted as a youngster when at my present geriatric stage I want a minimum of 30 hours in the day.
