And I use no timer , because I WANT to go out of the internet and into "real life" (friends, books, walks, brownies,nature )after a while. And here is the longer version: Internet is exciting...a lot of websites are very (!)interesting... it is tempting to get lost in WORDS & INFORMATIONS, but I found out that I am not fulfilled sitting at the computer.I am really fulfilled when I meet God in nature, when my feet touch the grass, when I listen to the songs of birds that have been here "forever" and they will survive my little ME.Am I important ? No ! Are websites "important" to me ? Not really ,and : compared to what ? Important to me is my next breath, my next smile , the next rose to smell on my path.... love... and writing the old fashion way: sitting with paper close to a river and opening my inner treasure-box...writing what my heart beats....what my soul sings.Love is important to me.... love for so many exciting simple things around me..Touching, tasting, praying,feeling, laughing, smelling,listening , playing, loving is important to me. I cannot find LOVE for this life on websites ~ and I cannot really be in touch with myself when I am surfing in the internet.I like to spent a certain amount of time there in "the world of wonder and news"... but more than one hour and I feel a bit empty ...as if I would live a secondhandlife. It seems I like myself and I have my priorities , so that's how I tame the internet.The keyword to me is :healthy balance. greetings and a smile ~ Gila The short version of an answer ( for those with less time )is : I allow myself 1 hour a day for playing with the internet.That’s it !
