Disconnecting Distraction
2 days ago
- Procrastination is fueled by distractions; avoiding them can help, but distractions evolve over time.
- Technologies like TV and the Internet have become increasingly addictive, with the Internet disguising itself as productive work.
- Rules to limit Internet use often fail because addictive behavior requires constant vigilance and visible barriers.
- A separate computer dedicated solely to Internet use creates awareness and limits time spent online.
- Keeping the main computer offline forces focus on work, turning old habits of sitting at the computer into productive time.
