I need to get off (of the computer) more. Spending 8 hours in front of a computer at work, then coming home and spending another 6 hours in front of it, at the end of the day, I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing.

I feel like I should read a book, or finish reading the books I’ve started, but I picture myself sneaking a few paragraphs in while something is downloading, or while my map is loading, and therein lies the problem. I need to stop thinking about how to fit things into the time I have while I’m taking a break from the computer.

Maybe I’ll teach myself something practical, since these days, I feel like my brain is turning into a bowl of jello. That’s about how much I use it on a daily basis, which is really depressing now that I think of it. I was thinking about finally finishing my ActionScript book, but that requires time on the computer too, and I hate flash.

If I had any will power at all, I would just format my computer and install linux so I can’t play any games and I’d actually get something productive done, but I’m weak for the video games =(

As a baby step, I’m limiting my computer time at home. No computer access until after 9pm! On weekdays only.
