No help here either, I'm still on it, and I have to leave my house in 20 min.

One time I suggested we ask the admin to disable the board for just one day - imagine what we could collectively accomplish without the temptation of the computer.

You would have thought I suggested we all burn our stashes as a sacrifice to the quilting gods by the reaction I got. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I did take some time off the computer last week...spent at least an hour each night in my sewing room instead of at the computer......and I lost my "regular here status"...somehow have to find a "happy medium"...I think it is also called balance...I do want to get things done...but hate missing some of my computer time...sure wish I had time to get on the computer while at work!|

Me too. I find that even when I sew I say that I am going to just be a minute and then I am on here for longer than that.

I friend of mine said since we can eat while we sew, you could get alot more done if we could just figure out how NOT to sleep. That would be in a perfect world, I would have plenty of time then for my 2 favorite things.....quilting and eating!
