Honestly, it's sometimes hard for me to get things done I need to do because I'll be in the middle of something and can't/don't want to pull away.

That's me everyday.
If it weren't for to-do lists or meds I'd be doing the same thing all day.

Yeah, after my "unable to eat lunch before dinnertime" crisis, I've been working on establishing schedules and alarms. Really, I've been slacking about that and just letting it get worse.

I didn't think I had a rigid routine until I knew I had to change it and didn't want to... except I wanted to not be hungry all day anymore. :)

I spend a lot of time on the Internet. Maybe a lot more than I should.

My first computer in 1983. I've been staring at a screen many hours a day since. http://www.columbia.edu/acis/history/hp150.html

I've played many games online for hours, and Im thinking about going back to America's Army. Lately Ive been playing poker at pokerstars.net. I read several forums... WP is my newest. They NYTimes has always been my homepage since '98 when I went online. I read HuffingtonPost, and BBC plus many other news sites.

I spend most of my time online.

Right now I'm unemployed, so the internet is my life, maybe accounting for 70 hours a week...as boring as I may find it I can still always find something to do even if it is revisiting the same few sites over and over looking desperately for something to do at 5am. Seriously internet comes before sleep in a very real way round here. I love the internet, it is an obsession that will always remain, but gosh it would be nice if I had something more constructive/interesting/social/outdoors to do.

Even when working though I'm the same, I get caught-up with things like forums and Yahoo! Answer's, or Farmville, I used to also be into MMORPG's too a good few years back, so I can spend hours and hours intensely focused on this ignoring everything/everyone else and lose hours as a result. Most of my jobs have been office-based too so normally had internet at work too, often got told off for spending time online...or when I was stopped from going online I'd write blog posts ready for when I could get back online and get told off for that too, lol :?
