Spend less time on MSN

i spend more time on msn and do less of other things….when is should be the other way round….

Since I set this goal I’ve deffinatly cut down a lot on my MSN usage but I have to admit it’s not gone completly.

However, I’m in a (slightly) long distance relationship and this is deffinatly the best way of contacting eachother when we can’t be together seeing as phonecalls are expensive and webcams don’t work so I don’t intend to cut it down anymore really, because it’s good for that.

When I’m at his I can spend weeks not using it so it’s not so much an MSN addiction anymore. Also I will never stay on if I’m not actually having a really good conversation with someone, whereas before I would wait for people to come online which was baaaad.

Anyhow, all the time I did waste on it I don’t think was worth it. MSN is good and useful, but not something to spend your whole life on! Being actually with real people is a million times better so I’m glad I’m not such an addict as I was and hopefully I’ll cut down even more when there isn’t so much distance.

I have attempted to achieve this goal but to be honest it doesnt seem to be happening at the moment, I’m still in the habit of signing in whenever I come online and I’m wasting far to much time on there.

This hasn’t gone that well today but I have made a start to tidying my room and its looking alot better than it did before, at least I have started something productive today and its kept me away from MSN for a few hours.

I’m failing at this at the moment as I have been on MSN half the day, but I plan to spend what remains of the day tidying my room.

I was tempted to sign onto msn as soon as I came online, but I decided against it because it will only be a waste of my time and no one is ever online at half 10 in the morning. Instead I have decided to listen to music and start to write entries for my goals it seemed more of a productive way to spend my time. :D

I’ve been using MSN for a few years now and since I first started using it I have always found it has distracted me from doing more important things, such as completing my schoolwork or doing something more productive with my time. I did try deleting it and managed to stay off it for a few days, but shortly after I had downloaded it again and I found myself faced with the same problem. I don’t want to delete it again as I do occasionally want to log on, but I don’t want to stay on it for hours everyday as I’ve been doing previously. I’m a procrastinator as it is without even having MSN logged on, so I think it?s about time I try and limit the number of hours I?m spending on it. I don’t want to completely stop using it as it does have its advantages, you can log on when you have time to spare or need to make arrangements. But the biggest problem I?m faced with is that even when no one is online I still remain on, which seems like a waste of time which could be spent doing something more worthwhile.

To start with I?m going to have to try and focus on any other goals I may have, that way I can focus more on them rather than spending wasted time on MSN. Hopefully that way I will gradually begin to cut down on the time spent on it, and begin to work on my changes.

so for years now i have been wastein my life on msn – every day i was on there chattin away or sittin there waiting for someone to come online and that would usually last from the moment i wake up till i go to bed or had college

But recently i’m rarely on it – been out with my gf alot of the time i think has helped me to get away from me addictness to it but no longer am i on it 24/7! at tops im on it for a few hours a night but not every night at least =D

I managed to stay away from MSN for two months. I was so addicted to it, I didn’t sleep or eat properly, and I never finished any hw on time. It was hard in the beginning, but as time passed, it became easier to stay offline and I didn’t even want to go online. But then there was Christmas, and I decided to go online, and have been online ever since. However, as of today, NO MORE MSN! I’ll give it another shot. :P

MSN IS THE DEVIL!!!

....but i love it oh so much. Even if there’s absolutely nobody on that I’m really enjoying or NEEDING to talk to, I can stay on for hours, it’s terrible.

A few days ago, i decided i was going to QUIT MSN COMPLETELY. haha, quit the addiction (yes, its really an addiction). Except if I had nothing to do at lunchtimes (school related), then I could go on while I came home for lunch at 12 and ate here. BUT that was it, no going on msn in the evening, after supper, nothin – cuz then i stay on for hours (lose track of time!!), convince myself that I dont need to be doing what I wanted to do – whether it be homework, exercising, cleaning, etc(so pretty much any other goal i have, msn probably prevents me from reaching it half the time).

..so “quitting’ msn for a bit was a big step. I didn’t quit it completely mind you, that’d be absolutely insane. I’m just gonna go til next week without it – which will hopefully make me realize that I don’t really need it afterall, and then maybe I wont have an urge to go on at all.

Plus finals are coming up. I gotta refrain from geekin it. Can’t afford something else that will egg my procrastination on.
