Time Scavengers- Wasting Your Time

Once of worse problems of working on the internet is the inevitable distractions, how much time do you waste on things you know you shouldn't but cannot quite help yourself.

It's not difficult to waste a whole day watching tv and video and then the spouse comes home and you reassure them  you have of course had a productive day.

And it is very easy to deceive them as well as most of the time what we are doing could be good or could be bad. The trouble is the person you deceive most is yourself  because you will have acheived a very expensive   nothing!!

Whats to be done can we try and change our habits over night schedule every second, this will make this a job and you might as well go and work the 9-5 with others if you are going to do that.

No you must decide the times which are the most likely to be productive for you, if you feel you can only work hard for an  hour or two hours then you must stick to it. Better to work extremely hard for a short period of time than to do nothing for 8 hours.

Luckily I found a free utility which can start addressing some of these issues its called rescuetime at rescuetime.com it monitors all your time on the internet and what you are doing so if like me you just spent 5 hours watching back to back episodes that you could not wait on. Then its there and if your really brave get your spouse to check up on what you did for the day. Maybe you can plan some reward in there.

But whatever you do if you do not get scheduling under control the you will eventually fail and the alternative is you would be better off staying at work.
