Too much time to answer a discussion

Have you ever gotten annoyed with yourself for taking too much time to answer a discussion? Sometime I find I just go on and on, and then I realize I have spent 10 whole minutes answering a single discussion. Time is precious to me, and when I do this I get a little annoyed with myself. Do you find yourself doing this? Do you get annoyed with your self for doing it?

Yes, I have done this on more than one occasion. I'll have to time myself next time and see how long it takes me, haha. I just seem to get on a roll and can't stop. I know I've already remarked in a few of my responses that I talk too much. I guess I don't realize it much until I see the whole thing afterwards. Then I think to myself, I could have responded to four or five other discussions with the amount I put into one, lol! Oh well, I'll keep this one short. Take care.

At least I feel happy when I answer the discussion I like and the response of the discussion I started. You can arrange a time to answer the question absolutely and browse discussion another time.Most of the time I browse the discussion on "my interests" and the disscussion my friends started,at the end of the day I will answer questions I started.

That sounds like a good way to do it.

Nah, I like to debate so I generally just put in four lines of my side and then wait to see if I catch a wiggly fish full of hate.

Yes, I have found myself doing this. Sometimes an issue is really important to me and I do just drag on and on. I do get annoyed after I see how much time I just spent. I'm like you, time is precious to me and I can't spend too much time on one thing.
