Who is A Squidooholic
Ranked #2,800 in Squidoo Community, #235,871 overall
Squidooholics are addicted to Squidoo
When did I first know?
* Perhaps it was the day I had to create a lensography to keep track of my lensographies.
* Perhaps it was the day I created more than 20 lenses
I can't be sure, can you?
I first became a Squidoo lensmaster in 2007 to use Squidoo for SEO and then I found out how to make money on Squidoo. I also really enjoy social networking on Squidoo and learn something new every day from my many friends here, but what really keeps me coming back to Squidoo is Squidoo lens creation. I have always been a writer but now professional life is much more about teaching other writers and writing teachers and researching writing issues so Squidoo is my only creative outlet. But I have to stay strong or Squidoo will take over my life and I have to find balance.
Can you help me find balance? Check out my final guestbook at the bottom of this lens to offer your advice for helping me find balance.
Thanks to TagsForKids and his SquidArt lens for providing this great graphic!
You might be a squidooholic if...
- Squidoo is your first call of the day. That's if you have ever checked your Squidoo stats before greeting your loved ones.
- You cannot count how many times you check in on your Squidoo dashboard in a day.
- You have to check your dashboard to be sure how many lenses and groups you have.
- You have ever created a lens and then forgotten all about it.
- You have ever created more than a dozen lenses in one day (definitely an addict if you did this one session)
- You spend more time on Squidoo than you do interacting with non-Squidoo humans
- You feel your mouse pointer is irresistibly drawn to the "create a lens" link
- You are excited to be called a "giant"
- You have ever told your children to put on their modules.
- You need a lensography just to organize your lensographies.

who me? (i'll never admit it in public!)
I am lost without Squidoo
Are you?
I can control my addiction enough when I am on vacation and without internet access but when I have access to the internet I find myself logging in to Squidoo several times a day. On days (like today!) when we do not get an update I am practically paralyzed and those other times when we get the dreaded "Tentacles in a Twist" screen I am equally devastated. Yes. I have a problem. I know it.
Don't believe I'm an addict? Check my stats!

- Although I liked Squidoo after my first lens, my addiction purely came once I started squidoodling and doing Squid Art lenses. While everyone is busy writing excellent lenses and making money, I'm perfectly happy to simply play with my graphics and have fun! :)

- Some more symptoms- trading in regular dishes for paper plates, cookware for take-out. Getting the kid 503 cable tv channels, so they're never bored of the electronic babysitter, and trading the car in for a new home PC.

- I think I knew I was addicted when I started saying "ooh, I must make a lens about that" about, well, absolutely everything, really! Even when my phone went through the washing machine and I was trying to save it, was my brain panicking? Nope, it was thinking "must take pictures to make this into a how-to lens!". The proof is in my lenses - yes, it is there!

- Yes, I think finding balance is the most important thing. Luckily for squidoo, it is a platform for all levels of involvements - and all styles can succeed. But of course you can still get addicted even you only have one lens like me (I am addicted to checking out great lenses when I travel - and I travel a lot).

Help, me!
Help this Squidooholic, please!
OK, I've come clean about my addiction and I've taken the Pledge but that still does not stop the cravings, the urges, the overwhelming desire to create new lenses!
Worse, I keep getting sucked into Squidoo Challenges where I am forced by peer pressure to create new lenses but that only feeds my need to create more. I have so many ideas whirling around in my head and not enough time!
I need help!
What can I do to fight the urge?
Even worse, I have so many lenses that I need to update and manage or they will sink to the very depths of lensrank. It makes me feel so guilty to neglect my creations.
So what is the correct balance? How many lenses do I need to update before I can allow myself the privilege of creating a new lens?
How do I resist those silly Squidoo Challenges?
