Gonna cut down on my internet

[JACK-2]

I think I'm gonna take a break from the internet this year. Not gonna stop posting here of course, since outside of posting here and reading the news. I don't really do much online. But, still gonna cut down. When I stay online too much I tend to feel sick.

Yea, let us know how it goes. I know what you mean though, you could always be more productive instead of being online. As long as you don't leave us!

I think it depends on how you use the internet. It's great for information and other tools, but the consumption stuff is a big time waster. You can sit around eating up time watching nonsense and not even know it.

That's the thing bro. I wasted 7 years online arguing morons over things, granted I learned alot too. So, I'm grateful. But, I rather do something else. I even rather watch TV because when I watch TV I stand around and at least move during commercial breaks. When I'm one the computer, I dunno. I get massive eye pains as well. This is the only site I go to minus IGN and posting on FB once in a blue moon.

Back on my KMC days I could be on for like 12 hours a day. It was crazy.

One thing I like about getting a more modern phone with mobile abilities is that I can use it quickly and on the go. I can browse the sites I need and check on my mail quickly. No need to be "stuck". There are days where I'm on the computer more depending on what I'm doing work wise.

What I like about tv/movies/music is that it's easier to multitask vs games. Meaning I can listen to music or watch a show while I'm doing something else. Gaming and just mindless web browsing tend to eat that time up. I can also do it while I'm driving.

But yea, arguing with idiots is always a waste. You could use mobile on the go and get out and check the mail when necessary and post here. But yea, sitting on places like eventhubs and KMC and arguing with morons is definitely time that could be better spent.

What sites do you feel distract you a lot? Do you still debate with dummies, or are you just browsing god knows what?

I don't debate anymore, but I find that it takes less than 5 minutes to do everything I need to do for the day online. Gaming is very time consuming, and alot of times I choose not to game because I need to take alot of time aside. But, it's enjoyable.

Yea for the stuff you need to do, you can finish it very quickly. How long are your browsing sessions now?

Perhaps some food you're eating might be bothering you as well?

At night they're half the time. I'm going to make the shorter, I don't sleep as much as I should because I browse for too long.

Oh you mean your sessions?

Yea I try to go to bed earlier. I wake up early anyways and it's not like I'm missing anything if I wake up at 3 vs staying up till 12 and sleeping till 5. So I just crash.

So it's the surfing that's getting you?

[JACK-2]

Yeah, all the extra surfing when I'm doing the "important things" drains a ton of my time.

It's just a habit you have to adjust. You'll be fine in no time.
