Interesting topic and I know what you mean. We were without home Internet access for about 4 days last week and my productivity rocketed.

One small point. Watch the words you use...

'Don't waste life online...'

You are focussing on 'wasting life' so that is what you see. The brain doesn't recognise the word 'don't' in that phrase.

For example, what do you imagine when someone says: 'Don't slam the door'?

You imagine a door slamming.

What if you said: 'Close the door quietly'?

I would suggest you imagine or focus on working effectively and not even mention the online world. Put it out of your mind.

Best of luck to you anyway.
