It's not the internet, it's me
We lost our internet connection sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning and all of the phones in our house as well (they both run through the same modem) and it wasn't until today, randomly I might add, that both the internet and our phones were restored.
Last week I whined about how the internet is a big reason as to why I don't get enough done. I'd like to apologize to the internet and it's family for any harm I may have caused and make it clear that the internet has nothing to do with my unproductiveness. The fact of the matter is that without internet I still wasted a remarkable amount of time the past few days.
I watched movies (Team America kicked ass), played videogames (Fight Night Round 2 mostly), and hit the gym (which is productive, but not in the way I mean). I did very little writing and absolutely NO drawing. I used to be driven. What the hell happened? I know I saluted glass half full thinking in a previous entry, but I'm still struggling to apply it to my everyday life.
Anyway, I apologize to the internets and take responsibility for my severe case of procrastination involving everything I want to do in life.
Oh well, here's to that glass half full thing again and a shitload of productivity from now on....starting tomorrow. ¶ 4:51 PM

I thought it was 30 days to form a habit.... at least that's how long it took me to remember to put my underwear on before my pants.

Even after 30 or 90 days, some habits take constant care and feeding to maintain. At least, they do for me.
A good little trick I use is to set up a series of "triggers" for yourself. Put your drawing pad on your computer chair, for example, so you have to interact with it before you can waste time. To watch less tv, I put a piece of fabric over the set so I have to consciously lift it out of the way to watch. It makes it more of a decision. I also store my tv remote by the tv instead of near the couch.
