I've been trying to be better about limiting online time spent just poking around, so that I read more books and go out more. I find myself falling a bit too easily into the hermit mode. <BR/><BR/>I'm terrible at organization and time management systems because I can't concentrate on them well-- but David Allen's Getting Things Done works for me when I put a little effort into it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19227384.post-11455782214493108612008-02-24T05:47:00.000+08:002008-02-24T05:47:00.000+08:00One thing I've been doing is to try to form rhythm...One thing I've been doing is to try to form rhythms through my week and unplug when I need to. It's one reason I was gone from blogland for a bit this week - I knew I had major work deadlines and it helped me keep my nose to the grindstone, which I had to do.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19227384.post-52146386505560909302008-02-22T06:56:00.000+08:002008-02-22T06:56:00.000+08:00If it wasn't for the internet I would not have met...If it wasn't for the internet I would not have met my husband. If it wasn't for cell phones I would not have been able to leave my children at home while I ran to the store, and I would have worried about my teens more on the roads.

Actually, it has distanced us further, causing relationships to become too utilitarian and shallow. There is very little balance in life anymore for those who don't fairly strictly monitor the technology and how they use it. (I as an example have a computer and internet access.. but do not use any other gadgets.)<BR/><BR/>The only ones who really benefit from all of this are the corporations who can wire working people 24/7 and further exploit them. <BR/><BR/>You asked. :)thailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.com
