Topics: internet lifestyle why the choice and balancing it.
Yesterday i was at a friends house and we were chating about what I do for business/socially.
I told him what i am doing and he asked me this question.
I could not give him a solid answer except for the fact that the internet is massive and its a connection to many other people, friends without the need to physically be in contact.
Its a portal to the world, socially and to make money
My problem lies in balancing my internet life with my real life. It can be addictive, i can get stuck on it for hours and miss the bigger picture.
My question to you is why the internet lifestyle?
&
How do you balance it with your physical life and the your bigger picture?

Internet is very addictive, I work 8 hours a day on the internet.I balanced my life by having daily journal. AFTER my working hours I spent time to relax, meeting friends out for a dinner or watching movies. This is my single life style. If you're married then you have to spend time to your family too.-
But how do you break the link? how do you say enough is enough? Do you set a time? I know you said you have a journal, but how does this work? sorry to ask but i need to find an effective way that works.

It really is all in the mind for me but yes it can be addictive.
I get up in the morning and work out for 2 hours. (treadmill and bicycle)keeps my mind focus.
Then a quick shower, breakfast and work.
After hours I can enjoy some internet or read a book or practice yoga, I do schedule some quality television too, like masterpiece theater but I do not watch tv unless its a scheduled program that I want to see, most of which comes from Channel 2 or the Discover Channel.-
So you only set certain times to go online? i suppose you have to be strict on yourself. because i love the net but i also love the outdoors (love to jog and go for walks) and i need to find a balance. Lately i haven't been able to balance it.

Believe me, I am human and do find myself getting hooked and some days I do let myself slide but there comes a time when you realize that you have to get off your arse and go pay your electric bill or you will be sitting in darkness looking like a raccoon and you won't be able to log in online. lmao
