If you want to scare yourself, do what I just did. Make a guestimate of how many hours per day on average you spend on the net (just thinking back over the last week will probably give you an accurate indication) multiply that daily average by 365, & from that you can work out how many days/weeks/months you've spent in the last year in front of the PC.
In my case, I reckon I spend around 4.5 hrs a day on average on the net. This is possibly a conservative guess, it could be more, as on weekends it's not unusual for me to chew up entire days, 10 - 12+ hrs, in mostly aimless browsing.
That adds up to 1643 hours per annum, which could be expressed as
68 entire days!
or 9.8 weeks!
or even 2.26 months solid in front of the computer
Even worse, if you look at it as a percentage of your waking hours, I'm assuming I spend 16.5 hours out of every 24 awake, it works out that I spend approximately 27% of my waking "usefull" hours on the computer
It could even be as high as 1/3rd.
No wonder I haven't achieved a real lot in the last couple of years, no wonder my apartment is always untidy & I always feel 'behind' with everything. I've got to fit full time work & everything else into the other 2/3rds of my time!
Confronted with that, I'm feeling decidely motivated to cut back dramatically and reclaim my spare time. There are so many other things i want to accomplish.
P.S. First post, and if I keep true to this one, I wont be making too many others
