You don't happen to keep up with other's Myspace comments, do you?
You know what puzzles me? Who are these people who answer you within 5 minutes on Yahoo Answers? The ones who answer your LJ community requests? Who friend 638 people on Myspace for the hell of it? Who read a random person's Myspace comments for fun (that is why bands comment on other's profiles right? For publicity) ? Who have 39 blogs on their 'blogroll'. It's starting to creep me out.
What are you doing with your time? Do you really keep up with all of that? Why?
When I sit individuals down and ask them "What is it that you really want to do with your life?" they rarely say "Keep up with Martha Stewarts blog (among other things)! So why do they do it?
Yeah, I know, procrastination, a little non-think time to get out of some work, but really, 38 blogs? Isn't there something better you can do with your precious break time? If you have read things like this countless times before, I apologize and you may continue on to your next journal. I will now speak to those who haven't.
Stop wasting your time on pointless net surfing or thinking your better than the suckers who watch TV. You're still wasting your time. Think of what you really want and love in life: friends, a better job, ect ect (check out 43 things if you need an idea for what to do, there are no shortage of ideas) and anytime you feel the urge to break, do something constructive related to those things, especially in the evening when you have more unstructured time. You can read a few blogs here and there (what's wrong with a bit of light reading every once in a while?) but keep off the pointless Myspace comment reading. You might have a demanding job and kids in your future, use your youth now.
A guy from LifeHacker's or 43 Folders realized one day he was wasting way too much time with worthless internet crap and decided to cut back and replace it with the things he loves but "never has time to get around to". It's been months since the change and he said "I hadn't read a piece of literature for years and I I swear I won't THAT ever happen again!".
The information surge is here to stay, but you don't have to get caught up in it all. It's more important to know what your don't need to know and focus only on the most important things.
