I work on the computer all day long and usually 'save' the fun stuff I have (reading craft blogs, looking at puppy pictures and shopping on discount stores)...I know, I know its bad, but its fun! Anyway, I save all the fun stuff for night, but invariably I end up checking email, managing comments on my blog etc etc. I like some of the tips above. To try to make sure that I keep the 'fun' computer time 'fun' I will make a not-to-do list on a sticky on my desktop. Then no matter what, 10pm each night I have to close the computer and do something else...I usually journal because that gets me out of the 'day time grind' mindset. Thanks LEO!
