I have a deadline tomorrow. I have been "working" for the last four hours. By which I mean, I've drank a lot of beer and Twitter has suddenly become interesting.
I'm assuming everybody here is as bad as me at this. How do you work on a computer that is connected to the internet?!
Can anybody think of any novel ideas to keep your mind on task and stop you from doing something (anything) else?
NB. Yes, I did write this message so that I could have a "break".
Drinking the afternoon probably doesn't help.
Drinking in afternoon definitely helps

This is true. Though, for the sake of my own dignity, "a lot of beer" is an exaggeration.
Now, don't scold me!

Much better...
I'd like to drink the afternoon and eat the evening, then I'd flush the morning down the loo.
You should try being a man. Think how distracted you are by the internent, then multiply that by porn.

Tell us what the deadline relates to, and then maybe someone will come up with a brilliant idea. Without knowing that, we will have to guess. So, since it's a Sunday deadline, it must be something to do with churches...you're a vicar, right? You've got to write your sermon about how procrastination is the devil's work? Well Jesus fasted for forty days and nights in the desert, how about that for wasting time, huh? Huh?

I've done basically nothing since 2009.
(No. Seriously.)
Maybe you could arrange for some more downtime Aaron, help a damsel in distress.

I'm so glad you exist.
I couldn't afford the internet up until 2008. I wrote plays, I had a boyfriend...oh what a life it was...
I do have a computer in my room that isn't connected to the internet, the plan was I would do loads of work in there.
But instead I spend all my time on my laptop and the wireless internet.

Oh, you should have got one of those cheap Korean internets, I've seen them for sale down on the market, 2 for a £1.

I've never had a boyfriend I blame the boards.
