Trying to Conquer the Beast

So, I know it’s been forever since I posted here. It has been forever because I have been trying to conquer my own problems with procrastination, with middling to large success. I have done two things:

  1. I started using Google Feed Reader. Now, I know that this is usually a thing that wastes MORE time, rather than less, but in my case, it’s really cut down on the amount of time that I’ve been spending checking and re-checking websites looking to see if they’ve updated. Now I just check the feed, which is just one website, and therefore eats much less time.
  2. I’ve given up gossip blogs cold-turkey. I know. I’m impressed with me too. Not a single viewing of either of my twin gossip obsessions since I started this fast, lo these…2 weeks ago.

I haven’t, however, given up internet TV or near-constant music listening. Let’s not go crazy all at once. But so far, it’s working. I’m shockingly on top of my work and my reading, and I don’t think that the internet celebrities have missed my obsessive attention to their social lives one bit.

Is this a totally boring revelation for you guys? Yes.

I’ll be back in the next couple of days with something interesting.

    Wow, that is a triumph! Congratulations. :) I know I should use one of those feed thingies. But I don’t. Sigh.
