Twelve Step Internet Recovery Program



[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
  1. I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Internet.

  2. I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

  3. I will get dressed before noon.

  4. I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Internet.

  5. I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Internet-deprived.

  6. I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.

  7. I will read a book... if I still remember how.

  8. I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Internet.

  9. I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

  10. I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

  11. I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Internet.

  12. Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime... and the Internet will always be there tomorrow!

I like it. I was just talking to a friend of mine on msn messenger and we discussed - not turning the computer on until the jobs were all done!!

However, I've decided that I really can't leave my computer all alone.

totally agree , rule #13 should be .... try to break morning habit. of "turn on computer, turn on kettle, light first cigarette, bring in paper, check overnight email"
 
Very good Tal, It looks as though the internet could take over, I remember twenty years or so ago it was Ham radio that was the biggest consumer of spare time in our house!
 
i have to sort kids out first then get my brekkie and then sit and go through the threads on accyweb and then i can go and do my housework popping in now and agin just to check whats been going on.
