Seems to me that LJs and other blogs are good for * commenting on events in daily life that you wouldn't necessarily write long thought pieces on * ditto on books, plays, TV shows, films * keeping in touch with friends * doing initial drafts of commentary or fiction (in small bits) that you need feedback on. For example, trying out a bit of an argument and seeing how others react to it.
OTOH, if you spend too much time reading and responding to others' blogs or worrying about notating in your life on your blog, you can use up writing time for larger projects -- just as you can waste that time on TV or books or friends or whatever.
What I think I need to do is to set out chunks of time for specific projects and not letting other things like email or LJ or family bother me during those times so I accomplish stuff. And also to be well enough rested and not distracted so as to be able to work well.

Obviously YMMV.
