Optimizing Your Online Reading Habits

I gave up cable tv over two years ago. I don’t even have a TV antenna. The only shows I get to watch now are those I buy in DVD’s or those I download from P2P. I can, for the last two years, schedule my purely entertainment viewing without interfering with more important tasks. My new time-waster: Mindlessly devouring content on every internet link I can click on.

It’s not uncommon for me to google for a zip code to a particular address and find myself, two hours later, googling anecdotes for a little-known war hero, murdered by his own men during his sleep, who lived in that town.

It’s literally television all over again.

I’ve recently implemented adjustments to my online reading habits so I can continue to enjoy reading interesting stuff without impinging on other things I need to get done.
