i'm trying to find a balance between real life and online life. Lately i've switched from spending all my time online to actually doing stuff in real life, but now I feel like there are a few things on here that I want to do but keep forgetting because i'm doing irl things.. it's finicky but i'm slowly finding the balance and can hopefully make a few entries for your contest and others soon :mchappy:

When I didn't have my job my days would consist of sitting in front of my laptop all day c':

I'm happier now with a more balanced internet time, and I do believe irl comes first, not just job related but its better to have a healthy social life outside of online relations as well.

That's the goal. I really don't understand why it's so difficult though, I love being outdoors, moving around and having stuff to do with my time but there's just something about the internet that grabs hold of you and doesn't wanna let go. It's like an actual addiction :mcgasp:

Anyway, speaking of getting my life together, i'm gonna go to sleep now before I spend another few hours on here :mcheh: I'm excited to make some entries, I'll see what ideas I can brainstorm tomorrow :mcglee:

Internet can grow to become an addiction, it's a fact ;o

but you can do it! Starting with a good rest, sleep well! c:

Yes, I think that realising i'm spending a bit too much time on the internet and wanting to spend less time will make it easy to change :mcglee:

Goodnight! :qh: :mcsleepy:

I have a lot of games on my laptop, but I can't remember the last time I played. I always have these periods where I game a lot and then I just find my attention captured elsewhere and I leave my games on the sideline c':

and then at one point I'll think 'ooh maybe I'll pick this back up again' and the cycle continues ~

I'm on my laptop for work so much that using my phone for games is actually a nice distraction XD Although lately I've started to carve out maybe 30 mins here or there where I put my phone into airplane mode and just read an ebook. It's much more relaxing because I found I was constantly cutting away to read emails and messages as they came in.

Also Netflix recs: The Good Place, iZombie (not actually scary, mostly just funny), Arrested Development, Brooklyn 99, and pretty much anything that's a Netflix Original as I've come to find that I can trust them to be high quality. The other things that came to my head were already mentioned :3
