Technolabyrinths

I really have to break out of the cycle of mindlessly shuffling between Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Time.com, Y! Mail for hours on end. Normally, people say you have to make a series of conscious and willful choices to break out of bad habits. But while this is easier said than done, given humanity's ultra-dependence on electronic media, I'd say it's definitely worth a shot.

So here's the game plan:
1. Check Gmail/Y!mail only thrice in any given day (but keep Apple's Mail program open just in case)
2. Use the Twitter app, not the website. Use scarcely.
3. Read Time.com and other news sites ONCE a day only.
4. Cut back Facebook usage by an hour or two every day.

It may seem trite, but trust me, given the amount of time I grind out on these things, any improvement whatsoever is better :))
