Since publication of my article in Natural Child on computer addiction, I have come across another tool that can assist with reducing computer time, thanks to one of my favourite blogs Zen Habits. Rescue Time is a program, not unlike Mee Timer, that logs your computer usage. Not only does it log your time spent on the internet and the websites you are actively viewing, it logs the time you spend using the other applications on your PC. It's free to download and there is a Windows and Mac version as well as a link to a Linux version (scroll to the bottom of the page). Another strategy I have come across recently on In The Heart Of My Home is allocate certain times of the day for computer usage. Outside of that, any computer usage should be done standing to remind yourself that you are only on the computer for a short period of time. If you have a tool to recommend or a habit that helped you to break a computer addiction, or addiction to any other sort of technology, please Contact Me! |
