This so much.

I check in in the morning when I wake up for a few minutes, while I have lunch for a few minutes, and before bed for a few minutes. I don't understand how some people can sit on the Internet all day.

Its rather easy for time to fly by when you're on the internet. Sometimes you don't even realize how much time you've sitting there and then 1 hour goes by. The internet is a lot more then, "checking e-mail" or whatever.

I visit multiple sites and/or forums a day for news on stuff I keep up on like TV shows, games, movies, etc. It takes up a lot more time than you'd think.

That's been my deal this weekend too. I haven't done jack...lol! Course some weekends are lazier than others.

I use Coldturkey. It blocks "unproductive" websites for a set amount of time. The only problem is, it has absolutely no mercy. If you want to get on to Youtube after you've blocked it, there's no way to do it.

I think I'm addicted to Pinterest. ;P

Nope. Not addicted. I come on the Internet in the morning and late in the afternoon, and that's it. Evening is spent with TV time, and that's fine by me.

Well, that's only on Sundays, but I have other shows I watch at night, so that's what I do. I stay off the computer at night, and that's a good thing for me. It's all about moderation and balance. I read more than I stay on the computer.

If I have any free time and can get internet access, I'm usually on it!
