I may go back to the computer later *setting the timer again*...i'm sometimes referred to as 'the timer queen' :) I set timers for everything- when I 'm quilting I set a timer so I don't get so involved I spend way too much time & forget to stop & eat...or work til i'm so sore I can hardly move. timers help me get things done. :)

If I get on the computer during the day (like now) I tend to waste most of the day - if I wait until evening then I can spend an hour or so knowing that I have accomplished much more during the day.

happens all the time, I think that's why we're smarted, always looking up things and such
|
We all got a lot more done before the internet. It is good for a lot of things though.

LOL, when I was a Girl Scout (long, long ago) one of my Senior projects was volunteering at the County Library. My job was to "read the shelves"---to check the Dewey Decimal numbers to keep the books in order. Most Saturdays I didn't get very far because there were too many interesting non-fiction titles right at my fingertips. Now I don't even need to go to the library, the keyboard is at my fingertips.
|
have the same problem
|
OK, I just spent a good amount of time on the jigsaw puzzle website.....like I need more websites to distract me.
At least I wasn't spending money on the fabric websites LOL. |
That is me exactly. The internet is like living at the library with a huge museum attached all from my recliner. It just doesn't get better than that. Quilting is my physical activity :D
