Stop Wasting Time Online
Wired How To's: "The Web is replacing the TV as the #1 time-thief in our lives. And, unlike the TV, the Web does not respect the boundaries of work. Thus the time you spend on the web 'working' is inherently intertwined with the time you spend 'playing.' As you can tell from our How To: Traverse Corporate Firewalls wiki entry, this cause for excessive amounts of stress for everyone and particularly affects those who charge by the hour (and thus actually lose money to procrastination, in addition to less free time). Here are a few tools that you can use to help the watchful eye of your employer relax a little, and maybe focus on someone else for a change."
I love the procrastinators clock idea . That sounds like something I might look into. Another simpler solution is to create another account on your computer so that if you want to get online or use your aim you have to go back to your other account. Set the parental controls to only allow you to use certain programs in the other account and you won't keep changing between users.
