I think it’s a very good plan man, I am having the exact problem but I don’t play card games I play counter-strike and stuff.

I have several computers. I don’t use the computer that much anymore. The value isn’t $0, because I could potentially sell the computer (probably for less than $1000), with an additional price of my time. So the value may be $700 to me.

I wonder if we can find a little clock that would sit in your taskbar and count the number of minutes spent in front of the computer today. You know I think extra awareness is where it’s at.

It doesn't have to be complete, just write out what you want to say. It takes longer but it's nice to get in the habit of using something non-electronic for something you'd normally use a computer to do.Along the same lines, play Freecell! ... with a physical deck of cards. The game isn't bad, just the computer part. Tynan: I suggest you write your posts in an old-fashioned pad of paper. It doesn’t have to be complete, just write out what you want to say.

The problem is that when you wake up 6 times a day, it adds up fast. Also, I procrastinate getting off the computer. I'm going to stick to my 2 hour limit for a while (actually, I might change it, which I will discuss in my entry tonight), but I don't intend to stay with such a restrictive policy.Niels - I've personally never gotten into RSS. I didn't even realize anyone used my RSS until I checked my server logs. A bunch of people use it. It's probably a good idea, though. Thanks for all the comments…
