avoidance-addition-avoidance-addiction...someone stop the madness!
last night sharon and i were driving around natick, feeling nostalgic for our wellesley years and brainstorming about centerpieces, when we realized that we do our best thinking in the car. my explanation for that is that we are not able to hop on the net whilst driving. i swear, as much as i love and am addicted to the internet, the thing is warping my mind! it has gotten debilitating. i run to it if i'm ever in doubt about something or in need of some tiny shred of information, and hours later, i am still there, surfing away, depleting the memory on my browser with all of the searches and open windows...
and i finally understand all too well why our parents worried that tv would rot our brains, because i am experiencing true Brain Rot at the hand of my ibook.
then, as i mentioned in my previous post, there is the problem of associating the computer with work, which makes me loathe to use it. that is unfortunate on so many levels.
the bottom line is i need to cease working from home or at least get a supplemental machine that may be used for work, leaving my ibook for entertainment purposes. and either way, i need to limit my computer use again. i felt much more clear-headed and productive last spring when i was not attached at the fingertip to my keyboard.
ugh. why must i be such an all-or-nothing girl? never anything in moderation... sigh.
