That's the beauty of human nature, we can relate to each others experiences through written/spoken word. I did deactivate my facebook account once and then I realized I just had to learn to not click the blue icon as often as I did. Glad deactivation is working for you though :-) Thanks.

I don't think it can be avoided because it's designed to make you not focus. It's like flipping through channels on TV except we aren't controlling it ourselves. We just have to remember to be proactive in dealing with the interruptions Ha @ internet ADD. I don’t think it can be avoided because it’s designed to make you not focus.

I really enjoyed reading it and I can relate to everything. Internet is really addicting - as I write, I should be finishing up a research project but I'm respondong to your blog piece...haha. I think what it all comes down too is self control and just getting the work done. I mean, what did we all do when there was no twitter or facebook? Seriously, I can't even remember what I did. Anyway, I have had my facebook account deactivated for like almost 2 months now...I had too get off b/c I found myself getting too addicted to it (as sad as that sounds)...haha. But I think I have realized how to control my internet addictions. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there :) LOL Well written article Dami. I really enjoyed reading it and I can relate to everything.

I can relate to everything you say. I have to work a lot on my computer and hence I am always online. I want to be accessible to my friends/family/boss online since I dont get to meet with them as often as I would like. I find gchat/messengers more helpful and less of a distraction for staying connected (if you keep it to mute). Short instant message from a friend generated for you is less distracting than reading bulk of general status msgs or tweets and reacting to them. It eats away bulk of my time once i get on it. Social networking sites are great and has helped me get in touch with friends I never thought I'd hear from again but it has too much going on. As you said " Any good thing can become bad if overdone " and even after having this realization I struggle to come up with ways to cut down on it. I have tried from 'blocking' my wall to deleting my account but its of no use. Small tips you suggested might actually be useful. I dont want to completely remove myself from it so will practice 'self restrain' from now on, lets see how long that works :) All the best PS:reading the blog and writing all this killed my 10 minutes! but i multi tasked and looked up that 'barking man' video while i was doing this. you see the pattern here, its like having internet 'ADD' jumping from one link to another. From FB to blog to video to related videos. . . . i am still far from 'self restrain' that i had decided to practice, but its getting there hopefully :) It was great going through this article.
