I'm realizing how much time I spend wasting on the internet. Today I went to a coffee shop to do work and ended up managing e-mails, online communities, and blogs instead. Sometimes what can be a great tool turns into enslavement. I am not quite sure how to handle this yet.
On the one hand it is nice to have the ability to connect with so many people electronically. On the other hand it limits my ability to have time for quality face to face interaction... well, and actually get work done. (And on yet another hand my best friend lives 2,000 miles away as do many of my other good friends and family.)
Maybe it's just a matter of better managing my priorities and time.
Any thoughts? Do you find yourself idling away hours on the internet... or is it just me?

I no longer have Internet at home since we're in a temporary housing situation. I find myself doing so many other things WHEN I am actually there. I do enjoy keeping in touch with people and I've said several times: "email me" instead of "call me"
It's easier. :o)
