Your Lit Routine

[NoJo]

Can someone recommend a good Lit routine for me so I can get myself under control again? I'm posting far too much, at random times of the day or night, it's playing havoc with real life.

I was thinking along the lines of

9:00 AM -- log on
9:01 AM -- Sort through PM's, marking some as urgent, etc
9:04 AM -- CHeck subscribed threads

etc

Well... there's your problem... you're too popular.

I don't get PM's so that saves me a lot of time.

[Edited] I also don't subscribe to threads, don't put anyone ignore, and stay strictly on the first page of threads.

Honestly I've found the best thing to do rather than have a schedule is just to multi task. Always have something else on the go that doesn't involve the computer, so you at least leave the desk regularly. Plus a great way to cope with that urge to post at odd times is just to turn off the damn computer. Don't just log out and leave it sitting there.....waiting quietly for you to return, ready to spring back to life in a split second. Flick the switch so that next time you have that impulse to just pop in, it's at least a bit more effort.

Oh and alienating all your friends would probably help too.

With the exception of times like now, I post only when imbibed, which keeps me away 5 - 6 days a week. Of course, there are reprecussions, and so I suggest not looking at any posts you made the night before!

I only visit the AH to stalk you now, Joe, so when you figure out your routine, PM me so I won't waste my time logging in hoping you're on.

I log onto the web only with morning coffee, sometimes during afternoon break, and at night with a glass of rye.

Check email for business stuff once an hour, answer a friend or two maybe.

It doesn't bother you if it's off.

this is Saturday, coffee's late, so I'll be off soon.

I never get PMs, so that cuts down on time significantly.

From now on I'm only posting when that squirrel is in my garden. You know, the one that talks to me.

I found out that logging out, clearing the history and the bookmarks will make half the temptation go away. Instead of just typing "L" to get the url, you'll have to type in the whole thing.... Can you imagine that?
