So not too long ago I was checking my twitter timeline and came across this great article about wasting time online. As a self-proclaimed victim of "ADD", the internet is by far my worst enemy. I actually blocked a site that I go on WAY too often a few months ago only for the "block" to not work at all.
After several other attempts at solving this issue I had a revelation if you will.
Why do I need devices or programs to keep me from surfing the internet???
I'm 29 years old. Which means several things:
1. I've lived a good amount of my life without smart phones and 24/7 online access in general
2. I'm too old for this ish
3. Depending on "tools" is only a temporary fix to a major problem.
So what's the answer?
For you it may be one of the solutions offered in the article, but for me I'm going to go with good ole fashioned self control (in addition to a big sign on my desk that says STOP SURFING!!!).
Either way i need help.
I will update you on my progress.
Wish me luck.
Sincerely,
