Internet Addiction

Hello, my name is Darryl and I have an addiction...it's the internet! The internet has destroyed my mind and productivity for many years and I have had enough! My work productivity has decreased, I have become lazy! 

So many times during the day, my brain would switch off and I would find myself moving my mouse to the Google Chrome icon and pop onto multiple sites..Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and I would spend 30-45 minutes away from work being hypnotised by fail videos and pictures of friends on locations. Numerous times during a work day, I would be working, being productive, listening to a podcast and then someone on the podcast would say a name or movie or song and i would immediately minimise my work and then go search up what they are talking about. It's been happening all the time!!!

I'm always reaching for my phone when something pops into my head. This takes another 20-30 minutes out of my time away from work. 

So to be honest, the amount of hours I actually spend being productive at work has gone down to half, which is causing me to spend overtime hours, away from my family, trying to catch up. But during that overtime work, I again crawl away from my work to check out the internet.

Before this addiction, before this internet, I was so free. I was so productive and I got stuff done. 

I'm starting to get better. Instead of going to the internet, I'm saving all my searches for when I have my lunch. I carry a notepad and would write down everything I would need to search up, and would use that time during my lunch hour to look at it. 

I'm also listening to more podcats, so that I'm not watching the exact same podcast in video form on my second monitor, above where I work. 

When waiting for a scene to save or open, I would take out my sketchbook and draw. I need to do more drawing!!!

Things need to change and its starting today!!!

Actually I'm writing this blog when I should be working....fuck! 

Ok..starting now!!
