Spend less time fooling around on the net and more time actually working

I’ve done it, at least it’s something that I feel I’ve accomplished for now…it will come back again, I know, as I’ve been shown in the past. But it’s okay, there is a triumph in conquering it. If there were no obstacles, where would we find our triumphs?

And I think I wanted to accomplish this goal, this time in my life, because I wanted to live life outside of a computer. It’s not like the internet is something to be completely avoided; it should help you and supplement your life. It can do much to connect you to other people. But I’ve done this now, for the purpose that I wanted to do it for, and now I’m going to say, “the end.”

I’ve done this so well that I’ve completely ignored 43Things for several months. (No, I haven’t fallen off the edge of the earth and disappeared.) But I’ve turned on my computer much, much less. It seems that’s the only way to finish this goal. Because when I do go online, I usually spend quite a long chunk of time on the computer. I have to try and cut down the time I spend online per session – it’s a major timesucker. In fact, I’ll start right now.
