Since my blog post yesterday on this topic, I found THIS today. Such a great and interesting way to look at why we get addicted, how we get addicted, and what we can do to stop the *madness*.
Creative Kryptonite and the Death of Productivity
Interesting comments section, too.
What do YOU do to unplug and stop the endorphins for at least a little while?
Here is something else I read every so often: Are-you-blogging-too-much?
There ARE writers who stay unplugged - and they are very productive and are having great careers.
Lots of food for thought!
Happy Weekend, everyone!

Wow, Kimberley. Read both posts. Thanks. Now I need to finish up three open docs before I think of taking on another task...
Good luck! That whole endorphin thing . . . that really resonated with me. Sometimes I get stuck online some days and I just can't get off! And I'm not really *doing* or accomplishing anything! I'm stuck in this weird, psychological addiction.
I've been thinking that maybe I should set up a strict daily schedule for myself with times that I do certain things: email, Facebook, blogging, writing, revision, research, marketing, etc. I know it changes daily because of appts or family things and babies, but maybe it will help me have that timer. After so much time - whether I'm done or not - I move on to the next thing.
Do you do that?
