Accountability Partner - Too Much Internet
« on: February 08, 2016, 04:05:08 pm »
So does anyone want to join me on this?  Every single day I find myself wasting precious time that could be spent doing other, more productive things because every day I let myself get sucked into the internet - everything from Facebook to Pinterest.  You name it.

I am a very scheduled person.  I literally have a mental list of priorities as well as a rough draft of what I want to do throughout the day (Prayer, exercise, clean, get ready, Bible Study, etc etc).  My mental list goes something like:  God, husband, kids, family, others, myself (although I'm only human and sometimes that list gets scrambled).

When I get sucked into the internet and get off track, I think - well, so much for this day.  I'll try again tomorrow.  And it goes on and on.. I'm always saying, "Tomorrow.."

Does anyone else want or need to kick this habit and would like to join me?  We can be accountability partners!  I guess it doesn't have to necessarily be a bad internet habit, maybe it's something else you're struggling with.

We could just post on here when we get a chance and say how we're doing.  I just heard somewhere that when you know you're being held accountable to someone you're more likely to stick to it.  I think I also heard it takes 21 days minimum to form a new habit, but we can do a 31 day challenge!

Aaand.... GO!
