I’m trying to see the Internet as kind of a neutral thing.
It’s a means of transmitting information. Like a book. A book can be full of valuable information, helpful ideas, or inspiring wisdom. Or it can be Mein Kampf.
I used to be lost in libraries the way I can get lost online today.
The strategy that works for me to prevent me spending hours surfing the net is to see the timer on my iPhone for 15 minutes, with the most annoying sound as the alarm, and then put it across the room so I have to get up and shut it off. And right beside it is my to-do list.
It works well.
When I remember to do it. (Blush)
Maybe my To Do list should always start with, “Set the Timer.”
