Although i am like a moth to light when I have the chance to have it again. <br /><br />I'm tired of wasting time when I have so many things I want to do. It looks like I will have internet at the new place, so now it is up to me to set up guidelines to keep myself from abusing it.William Hessianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12091165616820244881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188220893863893306.post-21097582151585730202011-01-03T17:23:56.635-06:002011-01-03T17:23:56.635-06:00i have a major problem with internet time wasting ...i have a major problem with internet time wasting too. i went a whole semester without internet at my home when the connection i was mooching off of became secured, and it really was a productive semester. i could get on the computer and actually write without distraction, and after a while, even when i did go someplace with internet, i found i was a lot less tied to/interested in the time wasting sites. <br /><br />it was sort of hard in the sense that sometimes i would have a hard time getting school work done, and sometimes i just really felt like vegging out to some Hulu show or something and couldn't. but i started renting more videos from the library, which was probably more fulfilling in the longrun anyway. <br /><br />when i finally did get internet again, i remember actually feeling a bit disappointed. <br /><br />i'd recommend trying to go without for a few months, just to see how it changes your productivity, creativity, and personal relationships. it's pretty interesting how all these things change (for the better, mostly) when you are disconnected.<br /><br />-ingridAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
