You know what I'm talking about. You're going to get started on that project when you realize that you have to check your email. Then you decide, oh I'll just check out my friendly neighborhood Teamliquid.

Three Many hours of youtube watching the discovery channel and kitten videos later you feel ashamed.
Internet distractions... They're everywhere! How do you beat them?

I don't mean to not spend any time browsing the web, but just to reduce your time online.

I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

The internet is just an excuse to procrastinate for you. You can fight this by having plans made ahead of time and making deals with yourself.

Plan to spend 30 minutes fucking around... stuff like that.

It got worse with this whole incognito browsing, too =(

Also, how to beat them: "self control". Something that many people tend to deny existence of for self justification.
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

Yeah I often find my self procrastinating and feeling sooo lazy to the point where I'm visiting the same bookmarks to see if anything has been updated in the past five minutes... a good solution would be to have a different area to do homework in. But if it's work that requires a computer.... ¬¬

This is witchcraft and wizardry, believe none of what he says. The myths and legends he alludes to-- "planning things out ahead of time", are just empirically unproven and impossible in their own right.

The internet is your friend.

Same. I think I was doing quite well with my procrastination until the beta was released. Now I'm back to square one. I just can't keep my mind off SC2.

Of course I don't even have the stupid beta >_<

What I usually do is mix it, like 30 mins of internet then 30 mins of doing school stuff, and if I play a game for lets say an hour and a half, I do 45 mins of school stuff, if I need to. Works for me...

^ I usually do the same thing as well, although recently I've been slacking off a bit too much -_-.
I blame the three day weekend.

If you truly want to get things done, I would suggest giving up just for fun sites like Teamliquid and stop using a PC (as in personal compute). I gave up computers entirely except for library computers when I needed it for homework, and then ended up the most productive I've ever been in my life. In the end, though, it was all about self-control. If I wasn't so determined to not waste time, I probably would've just gone to the library everyday and browsed Teamliquid there.
