That is it...kind of like there is a deep mental involvement in the site, or what I am reading. If I am posting something here in DU, and checking out the sources and adding ideas, it is total involvement in that idea, like researching a favorite idea. I sit in front of the screen as long as necessary to finish that thread or idea. The alarm can go off, well screw the alarm..(yes, I have one right near the mouse I work with)..I am getting a little better, but not much.
I try to time myself, but I go past the time limit, almost always. To me, the internet is addicting, and it is communicating, and it is like a library with all kinds of books and magazines, and it it a weather report, (with radar that is up todate) and it is music and some entertainment, and it can be a radio too. It is a place to find out what is going on with friends, and even a place to look at stuff I shouldn't look at. I have files of jokes, and stories and etc.....but.. there is an alternative...........
Call the internet provider, and cancel it in my home....that would mean I get weather reports and some news from the radio or TV..then if Iwant to use the internet, and check up on stuff,....I have to get in my car, and drive to the library..(approximately 4 minutes) and use theirs. Not having the internet as a news source all day, would be drastic, since I am retired and love the news..but most of the time, as we all know, instant news in totally unnecessary..
Spending a couple of hours a day at the library would be enough...So after each 45 minutues, I get up and walk around there..This is just an idea..who knows if it can be done....but this I know.......
sitting too much is extremely dangerous for me.. and that is what I have been doing....
Thanks for reading this..........Stuart
