I recently posted a poll asking how some of you managed your Internet time to stay productive. I’ve compiled answers in this Blatherings entry. Some of your solutions:
- Use a timer to keep track of how much time you spend surfing.
- Setting a work goal and only allowing non-work surfing when you reach that goal.
- Allow “fun” surfing only at the beginning and end of the day.
- Don’t feel compelled to answer e-mails as they come in.
- Turn off Instant Messaging.
- Set your mail program to check mail for you every xxx minutes.
Do you have other tips on how to manage your online time? Please let me know and I’ll add it to the list.
