How To Avoid WA Distraction

Okay folks. This might be a post for a question rather than a blog post but it's an interesting conundrum and one which I need to manage before it manages me.

So, The idea on here is to pay it forward, interact and help out. i'm swamped with emails from WA about people who have liked my blog posts, commented on them, followed me, sent me messages etc and already it's getting out of hand. I appreciate each and every single person who has taken the time out to interact with me whether that be providing help or just leaving me a profile message but I can see myself getting bogged down in answering, interacting and helping. Also, as these people have been good enough to extend a hand of friendship to me, I feel it would be incredibly ill-mannered of me not to at least acknowledge in some form or other, so every single one of you will have had a like or a follow at the very least.

The problem is, like I've said, I could get really caught up in doing this because everything i get is so positive so my question is this, has anyone developed a dayly list and prioritised what to do when? So, for example, if it were me, I'd be doing training, acting upon it and then dealing with interactions but I'm so easily distracted and I love reading all the blog posts I get notifications about so I could spend way more time than is appropriate or necessary.

Do people set themself a daily limit of blog posts to read na comment on, a certain amount of people to follow or message? A certain number of questions to answer?

Any strategies for managing this would be much appreciated.
