time

okay. there is a list of projects that i've been meaning to start or continue when i have time off, but i haven't touched any of it now that i actually have time off. i think i've found the problem - i'm spending WAY too much time on the internet. i've been at my computer ALL DAY today. it's excessive. so i've worked up a new plan, a kind of schedule, that will force me to limit the number of hours i get to go online each day. i've already reacquainted myself with the "off-power" function on the television when i find myself channel-surfing because there's nothing watchable. and now that YOU know i'm on this new plan, whether you care or not, self-restraint will be better enforced. isn't it funny how it works? if people know about something you've set for yourself, you stick to it better. it makes the thing more real than if it's only in your head, i guess.
