stop spending so much time on the internet

Im wasting a least a few hours per day on the internet, just stuffing around on facebook or looking at random. I could be doing so many other things that could actually make a difference.

Wow have I been failing miserably here!

I’m really starting to loath how the PC is controlling my life. I’m a college student who has to commute, living on her own, and finding it hard to know people. It’s a small college, but everyone seems to know each other already. I’m not quite the person who goes up randomly and say “Hey, what’s up?” so I’ll just go home and sit on the computer, making the days go by faster.

I would cancel the Internet plan, except my parents are paying for that along with cable. And they won’t give it up (even if they’re living 500 miles away). :\

When I was at home at my small town, I saw so many people who gladly accept sitting on the computer all day sucked into online games or anime. I can’t take that anymore. It’s an easy escape for people who aren’t party animals or the social butterfly, but where will it take me in ten years? I have a taste for adventure, and I hope I’ll meet people to share that with. :)

I’ll be making effort to stay out of the house and more on the move! I’ll get rid of my laptop after college…

too much to do but the internet is so much fun

Easy solution = I cancelled my broadband. :P

I can check emails on my laptop at work etc. so I can now technically mark this as done. :P

I’m getting there.

I took on a new part time job which involves me getting up early on a morning so I can’t get up whenever I want anymore and just sit there in my pj’s whilst I “check my email” only to find myself still there hours later. I’m only allowing myself an hour or so on an evening. When it gets to the point where I can happily spend a few days off it on a regular basis then I’m marking this as done.

Normally what happens is I turn on my computer which is connected to the wifi in my flat automatically just to check the day’s task’s on iCal and then I check my email and before I know I’ve wasted 3 hours. :|

So I’ve printed off my weekly tasks from my iCal to keep in my organiser and instead will leave my computer turned off. :P

Hopefully this will help. :)

When browsing on myspace actually DOES get tiresome!

morning – keep to an hour. afternoon – 1/2hour.
manipulating photos – only one per day.
ouch. i can do it though. i need to do it. i am definitely addicted…

i just get SUCKED IN & i can’t come out :-P
