waste less time online

I’m going nuts! I used up my popurls time on Sunday.

Avoid popurls.com and alltop.com.
I can treat myself once a week to these sites, but I need to direct my surfing MUCH more. So, I’ll stick to particular blogs in my google reader, certain online forums, and searching specific topics daily. Also, I’ll be removing the delicious tag button from my browser. There’s no point in endlessly collecting popular references.

to not carry the laptop around the house with me. It should stay in one place so I’m not mindlessly wasting time no matter where I am.

...so bad at this one.

Tuesday, I noticed that I had wasted quite a bit of time checking e-mail-n-such in the evening. Wednesday, I didn’t check my accounts. I figure I can check one per weekday at home but I don’t really need to do much more than that. Checking each account can take 30 minutes by itself without me even replying to anything! I have too many accounts!

Having good internet at work might actually be helping with this. I check my e-mail there twice during the day and I’m less inclined to hop on my computer once i get home. I still tend to check before bed, but I swear that’s less than before.

Definatly easier to do when i don’t have essays to write and I can waste time doing other stuff instead.

I did a really bad job of this this week. okcupid did me in. I answered lots of questions and messaged a few people. Maybe I’ll be under control for the new week. Maybe.

I’ve been fairly well lately.

I actually did good this week. Mostly, it’s because I’ve been tired and doing stuff online would take up more time that could be put towards getting to bed. BUT, the trick of the system is to spend one day focused on checking hotmail mail and the next checking yahoo. Having so many e-mail accounts mostly does not work to my advantage.
