I waste so much time on the net. YouTube, Itunes, looking up lyrics, playing games… time just flies by and I realize I haven’t really accomplished anything. It drives me nuts!

I need to:
- track how much time I spend online. maybe that will give me a wakeup call
- develop a new hobby that doesn’t involve the Internet.



There is a thin line 5 months ago

between useful interaction on the net and wasting time. Let’s try to aim for the first.

I’M ADDICTED TO THE INTERNET!!!!



a tool to help me with this ... 6 months ago

I downloaded some software called Slife that tracks the time spent on all applications on the computer. It also will track specific URL’s or files. You can set time limits too.

Seeing how much time I spend on the computer and the internet specifically is helping me spend more time doing other things.

It's Ironic... 8 months ago

...that I’m posting this goal online… but I waste too much of my free time online. I don’t think the net is bad… it’s a great tool and resource… and even fun. I’m not giving up on the internet… but I need to spend less time on it. I don’t use the internet for occupational purposes (unless it’s for researching an unusual method or product… but that is rare), so I should be able to limit my time online to an hour a day (and hopefully not use up that hour all at once) on average. Right now I’m on here pretty much all the time when I’m not working. That has got to change.

D O N E it! 8 months ago

Finally I’ve accomplished this one aswell. Yay! I feel far better now!
How I did it? I found a part-time job, simple as that. No more time to procrastinate in the net, I have to study too! :D



Today is the last day I am wasting empty time on the internet 9 months ago

Guys;
I have had enough of wasting time on the internet….it has cost me a lot of resources, my own growth has been stunted and I have been also affected in mind because of watching porn . Thus I have not taken care of the influences on my mind. I have from this very moment stopped the losses I used to have earlier. Enough of the internet, enough of time waste and useless thinking.
I am now checking the mail once in the morning and once in the evening.

Better. 10 months ago

I’m getting better at this…

I wrote on a piece of paper every specific case that needs my mac to be turned on. I won’t turn it on in other situations or when I don’t know what to do.

And that’s it! I’m far more self-disciplined since I know I have those rules to follow! :)

hey, okay well its hard habbit to break, but i guess its less than quitting smoking ( i dont smoke im just saying!!). i only go on the computer 3 times in the day, 1. in the morning 2. before work and last one afterwork. yeah it was hard, but than again im not talking to the people i was before, im meeting them at random places like the mall or at my old school, and we just walk around and talk :) if i can break this so can you!, just go somewhere and than come back :) its fun and easy
