always juggling

I typically have more balls in the air than I have hands to deal with, so am always juggling to keep some on top and let others fall to the ground through lack of time and/or attention. The ones that bounce back up, for whatever reason, get another chance to stay in the air.

Balls bouncing back up is "push": you subscribe to an e-mail list or follow a blog or someone on Twitter, and messages ("balls") are pushed to you. Balls having to be picked up is "pull". How many of you return to web sites just because you feel a pull to?

And what does it mean that we accept balls falling to the ground?
