Look you can take it two ways, i meant that shit only appeals to ppl of a certain 'age', they'll eventually get bored and chase after the next thing.

You know I am doing this from work. What I am trying to do is stay away from the computer as much as possible from home as I want to devote more to health, family and other things that have faced neglection.
Also I feel, sharing my experience may bring out some sort of inference and maybe help others in a similar situation.
Day 2 starts soon. Lets see how that goes.

@ Hanzy - Thats exactly the situation I am in many times ( most ) & I have a typical south Indian mom screaming at me on top of that.
 
so many people said so many things & I will add something in that list .

Since u told u have typical mom screaming at you , after office when u come back home > refresh your self > go to mom > help her in her work ( I know u will argue that I don't know kitchen stuff /etc , but you can try to help in anyway ) During this talk to her about daily things , your neighborhood , This will sure give smile on her face & to you also .
after that before sleep , when u go near Computer , do open PC case , remove HDD connector to Mobo , Fit PC case again . No more PC boots up ..... no more online .

if you gonna say I will connect the cable & start online , then remove cable , pack in box & give it to Mom & say it's precious thing inside & give it back to me after 1 week .

may be sound like little dumb but try it :ashamed:

WOW!! That sounds like one of those old Doordarshan serials!
 
2nd day was a bigger FAIL as many of you already know. I am thinking of quitting this stupid experiment.

I think I will accept me as I am. Maybe work out things slowly. In any case, immediate cutt off is too difficult. :(

I hide in shame.
 
of course its hard ...just accept that you are a nerd and have fun.... :p

and multi ...seriously i feel asleep in that second sentence :D
 
hey Sharekhan ...never go for a complete cutoff,it usually never works ..tired it a lot of times.
i used to make resolutions of not touching the PC for a 2-3 days..but as soon as i used to return from class/college ..first thing i did was turn on the PC.

the only time it worked for me was,when i asked my dad to sell my old P4 as it was getting outdated anyways. ;)
then asked him not to get me a new PC for few months ..so that i indulge in other social activities and learn to balance my life.
only after like 5-6 months when i started feeling that everything was under control..i got this Monster PC.
and now things are still very much under control.

so either you reduce your PC usage ....or just pack up your PC and keep it somewhere. :D i wouldn't suggest the second one cause it's really very very difficult in the initial few days ..

one more thing i also wanted to say is,
IMO there is no harm in using the comp for 3-4 hours a day...provided you are able to balance all your other responsibilities and chores .
everyone has a different liking,passion,hobbies..and there's nothing wrong in being involved for long hours in something you personally love doing.

eg)i have a friend who is swimmer and he practices like 5-6 hours a day..and still finds time for college,studies etc .

its all about managing time properly

anyways you are quiet elder to me and must be knowing all this..:P..but still.. why dont you just sit and make a proper time-table sort of thing.
give time for the PC too..dont cut it off the list..just see to it that everything's balanced.
following the Time-table in the initial days is difficult ..but then you get used to it..:)
just dont drag yourself to the extremes, buddy.:cool2:

best of luck :hap2:
 
What Shud you call me ?:-)
As i write this post i am running my fingers on the teeny weeny keypad of my phone & using Airtel live and tea shark browser to access this forum and sitting in a govt bus which is speeding on the Mumbai Pune expressway. :p

never be ashamed of who you are ;)

as i said earlier though, try moderating your internet use first if you really think it's a problem that needs to be addressed. for example, do everything as normal but sleep one hour earlier than your normal time... you won't miss out too much on tf2 :bleh: and you'll be slightly better rested in the morning. win-win right?
 
I have enough to-do lists at work and I would hate to start one at home.
But yesterday after going home from work, I slept ( at least tried to ) but did not turn on the PC. started it up when I rose about 5.30 hours later.

So its a small achievement in any case.
