Now, what skill do you have to survive in that world? Typing is completely useless. Look at your hands. Those are your tools. What can you grow, build, make, create with those? <BR/><BR/>Feel better now? Seriously though, the only way I know to not get caught up in the distracting electronic world is to ignore it. With time, you learn to not care so much about checking emails/Facebook/the news, etc. every five minutes. Every hour will do and only for a few minutes for so, then, it's back to the essay/poem/short story/novel. Focus, focus, focus! Discipline is the only way! Either that, or I will fix up a device in your office chair that will shock you every time you deviate from what you're supposed to do.

Last summer, I changed from a PC to a Mac and decided to take some course to learn how to use its full potential. I learned how to publish photo albums, make movies, create web sites and templates - such fun! I could spend days, evenings in front of my computer, creating great projects... but doing little client work. I am now more disciplined. I start my days with my client work and if there is any time left, then I play on my computer: a better balance.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011416257877398062noreply@blogger.com
