(the difficult part of course is going back to work after that - so maybe it works better to allow yourself an hour of online time after four hours of work, or something similar). I live under a similar horrible system myself. I will play for half an hour on the computer, then I will work for a few hours. When time to work comes, a little voice says, "Just 10 more minutes? I have plenty of time to work." OK, 10 more minutes and that's it. When 10 minutes are up, "Really, 10 more minutes won't make a difference..." No, enough. Time to work, then you can take another half-hour break on the Internet in a few hours. I'm sure I have enough time to do all the work if I just spend another 10 minutes on this... You have to work now. Five more minutes? Five minutes, what are five little minutes? Some days it can be a tough battle... But today is a holiday Been playing for more than three hours. But I have to work later... sigh | | | Oscar Rivera Ungheria Local time: 02:59 Da Inglese a Spagnolo + ... Not addiction but distraction | Aug 11, 2012 |

I may be a little addicted but the internet doesn't deter from meeting with friends, going out, jogging or walking and taking pictures. I feel, however, that when I am online, the last thing I pay attentio to is translation. I check my emails and some forums and then I focus on translation. When I am busy, I always think that when I have some spare time, I will focus on reading on transla...

When I am busy, I always think that when I have some spare time, I will focus on reading on translation or working on my TMs or trying new translation software but I fail to do. I hope to get serious one day. Tom in London wrote: wxyz wrote: Is anyone else having this problem? No. I used to be addicted but I got over it.
