Wrote the post offline. The reason was that I had forgotten to pay my bill and simply didn’t have the time to do it the same day. What struck me was how much I can actually do without browsing the web and checking out social networks.
Internet is a productivity killer, isn’t it? And it doesn’t end here. It often slows down personal development. We read articles, communicate with self improvement bloggers, we get motivated, but we don’t actually do something to improve our lives. We continue browsing until we find the next wise thoughts to read.
From today I’ve decided to limit my browsing hours and the time I use to check my email and what’s going on in Facebook or Twitter. The challenge? Two hours per day for personal browsing. It may not sound like much, but I think it’s quite enough.
What about yourself? Do you think that internet is a productivity and personal development killer, especially with all the distractions it offers? I wonder if you could limit your browsing time, how much per day would you give yourself? Thanks in advance for sharing your point of view by commenting.

Thanks for sharing that article! Checking your email once per week seems too little for me. But once a day sounds quite enough not to get my inbox cluttered with new messages and to still meet with my communication needs.
The internet can can certainly kill a lot of valuable time. You’re doing the right thing by establishing some time discipline for yourself. It’s all about balance, is it not?
