How do you spend your time on the computer?
zridling:
I should add that I spend an inordinate amount of computer time collecting (great/free) crap — ebooks, music, videos, porn (yes I'll admit it, even if it offends), photos. It's obsessive, as if I'm thinking, "Well someday when I'm in a nursing home, I'll have something to do and lots of stuff to review and finally get around to reading." And to which I'm sure it will take me only a couple of hours to delete most of it.

I tend to be that way about downloads. I have a downloads directory that I've tried to organize everything I've downloaded and don't often delete anything from it. As if the programs I save won't be outdated in a couple of months. . . I was even saving each version of Firefox (back to when it was still called Firebird).
Silly me.
nudone:
zaine, i think your nursing home idea is brilliant. now i can feel good about collecting for the sake of collecting (well, now it has a purpose).
as for my pc bending me over - all in good time my dear fellow, all in good time. i'm sure it will happen in my lifetime.

That one sounds like the perfect thing to do less of in 2007. Instead, be more productive and send $50 to your favorite organisation so that *they* can fight for you!
Benefits: more time, less stress, more positivity :)
I used to follow the news at least twice every day, until I finally figured it out: reading only an abstract once a week gives me good knowledge about the important things, and if something isn't worth being discussed after a week I shouldn't try to know it in the first place.
