| Seems like every time I go on FB or those damn gossip pages, I seek relief for something. For example, my thesis is not going like I hope it would or I'm faced with a problem there, next thing I know, I'm on FB looking at pictures of the beach and wishing I'd be there instead of here in front of my laptop having to write 50 pages in one day because my deadline's here and I'm not even halfway where I should be... So, I need to ask myself: Is it worth not getting my degree? No. Definitely, no. So, here's trying for another day... | |

Ok... my success rate is fine but I've been admittedly slipping... So, I need to remind myself why it's really important for me to stay away from facebook and or gossip pages: 1. It's a time stealer (surfing just a little bit can take up to 15 Minutes and that's not even the max... and I do this a few times a day... 2. It's just like an itch I need to scratch although it's not really making me feel better when I give in. 3. It's just stupid and useless entertainment and again, not relaxing me a bit, which is what I bring on as excuse for doing it. So these are all very good reasons for keeping my commitment and I needed to see them once again to stay clean. There I go... |

| Well, this is really hard.Obviously I have a slight or maybe not so slight addiction to this stuff. It's almost like being afraid to miss out on something if I don't share stuff on FB or don't know which celebrity couple just split up. But it's not important. NOT IMPORTANT at all - it's other people's lives, not my own - this is what I need to accept and be fine with it. I'll do the beach holiday and the eating out and everything else my friends on FB are sharing once I'm done with this thesis. To see it on FB is really just making me jealous of all the free time they have anyway... :-)) So... I'm good now... will go back to WORK... See y'all! | |

| So, I need to do this for myself and because I'm losing focus on my real goal - getting my degree. Every time something goes wrong in my writing or I don't find the answer I'm looking for fast enough, I escape and procrastinate by surfing useless pages like Facebook or gossip pages. So, this stops now. I am a grown person and I am stronger than this. I will finish my thesis on time and I will not be surfing to escape work. | |
