With anything forced in nature, it can only be temporary and ultimately unsatisfactory whilst a solution arrived with thought would be lasting.

I leave the wireless card at home so I have no access to the internet or any other distractions. I guess I shouldn't be there since I'm not a medical student, but I don't take up much space! Plus it's nice to get out of my basement for a change.

A few weeks ago I stopped myself from "just checking my email" when I was supposed to be working on my game, by transferring development to a laptop with no internet access. Now it is amazing how much I can get done in an hour, particularly now that I update my plan for the next 2-8 hours at the end of each session. Steve
