"Since we all seem to agree that we'd do more things such as go fishing, walk the dogs, draw, do photography, etc., why not do them then? We all rely on our computers; that's a given. But do we need to be on them as much and as often as we are? Why not give it a whirl and do all those things that later in life we may regret not having done? "

I agree Mary. I actually got rid of cable tv because I spent way too much time watching it. Unfortunately, I replaced it with internet time!
A few months ago I decided to declutter, get organized and keep the house in some semblance of neatness. I read Sink Reflections and bought a timer. It's made a HUGE difference! I set it for 15 minutes, check email, PT, HP but when the timer goes off, I get off the computer and do something else. Go for a walk, do some knitting, take out garbage. Anything not PC related. I love my timer!
