I used to be on the computer all the time checking for new posts here, but now I am on my iPad for way too long as I can take it everywhere with me! I am finding it hard to start sewing again after having both knees replaced last year, maybe if I could get off the iPad it would help! And also stop collecting old Singers (16 now) and getting them cleaned and working again!

I find that I have to set timer and when it goes off I shut off the electronics. Otherwise I would spend the day looking instead of doing! I have 8 mins left today

HAHAHA! somedays I sit down with a cup of coffee to search out 1 pc of info and BOOM! I look up and the coffee is cold and I've forgotten what I originally turned on the computer for! ok, I get a fresh cup and go back to folding laundry. OH wait! I remember-and I sit back down in front of the puter . . . yea, some days the internet AND the quilt board are bad for my productivity rating.

The same goes for me. My husband cannot understand how I can be on my iPad for hours at a time. I have gotton so many patterns from the board and online, that I don't have time to make them because I am always on my iPad.
I told my son the other day that when I die to put my iPad in the coffin with me. That's how addicted I am. Lol

I mainly get on here while it is slow at work, off and on.
I don't have an Ipad. I don't plan to get one. I am in the process of finishing my 12th quilt for this year. I work full time, have three cats, a dog and a pet bird. I sew in the evenings and on weekends when I do laundry and cleaning.
Now see if you can get something done.

If you think you spend too much time here, never, NEVER sign up on Pinterest!
