Once upon a time, TV was the classic time waster, but I am willing to bet that the internet has taken it's place. Sure, there are great uses for the internet like reading this blog and getting into arguments with complete strangers while leaving comments on news stories, but let's put a time limit on our online lives, so they don't interfere with our offline lives.
If you need some help, in ten minutes you can download, install, and start using a program that will keep track of your computer time and blank out the screen when time is up. Here's a link to a free one that I found while wasting time on the internet :)

This program is called GroundHog and was created by a dad who wanted to set time limits for how long his kids can spend on the computer. If you want to limit your computer time to 2 hours a day, just log in and set the timer. It will keep track of the time for you and let you know when it's time to come back to the real world.
