Social Media: I Need Help!

So, I'm doing Level 2 of the Certification Courses about building traffic, and I'm trying to wrap my brain around building and managing social media because I'm already in 2 niches that have nothing to do with each other. My questions are on two levels:
1.) From a standpoint of using social media across my niches... I guess I need to just bite the bullet and build social networks for each niche, sign up for FB/Twitter/Pinterest/Google + etc. for each niche?
If anyone has tips about organizing your time and/or recommendations on social media management tools, I'd love advice here. My reality is that I'm a mom and have about 2 hours daily for work unless I purposefully choose to sleep less (which I do sometimes, but can only do once in a while or I get grumpy). I am getting to the point where I know I need to sit down with myself and create a daily schedule of routine tasks and schedule content writing, etc.
When I first started in IM, and OK, I'm going to date myself here, Twitter and FB didn't exist, and Google's real purpose was to deliver good organic search results. :-) It was easier then to rank content and building content was what it was all about. There was a point in time in my main niche where I had lots and lots of pages in the top 10 of Google... but the past couple of years have changed everything and I'm having to learn all over again. My brain is sort of wired around building content, so figuring out how to add social media and engaging with people on an all-day basis seems intimidating to me.
2.) From a standpoint of using social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious, etc. -- I'm thinking I can just have one identity at these places, because it's about all of your interests, right?
Also: do you share your work/websites/published pages on your personal social media? I do sometimes but not all the time... what are your thoughts on this?
I'd so appreciate advice and direction! Thanks very much!!
