There was a cartoon I saw once that had one's a drawing representing one's dreams and aspirations on one side and on the other us. Inbetween was the yawning pit of hell that represented the internet. Around the corner from my house there's a counseling center that offers help with cyberaddictions.
Few of us can say they don't get distracted by the internet. For many of us it has our nemesis when it comes to a productive creative life.
What can we do about it? Well, here's one idea:
If you need help, there are programs for that. Here's one––it's called SelfControl (logo at left), it's free, and it turns off your internet access to certain sites of your choice for a chosen period of time. SelfControl only limits access to certain sites but if that's not enough, if you need total black out, then there are other apps for that too.
Distracted? I only with there was a SelfControl app for everything else in my life. Whatever, let's do something about it and get back to the important work.
