Productivity?

I feel markedly more unproductive on the days that I am at home. This has a lot to do with the easy access to the Internet and also some to do with the fact that I have things I'd like to do around the house that I never have time for anymore. (It doesn't help that I caved and got a 'fandom' tumblr... that site is such a time-suck and also I have to be really careful because a lot of people post weird stuff and I have the NSFW filter turned on but sometimes things slip past but ANYWAY)

In any case, my self control is really bad, and I spend hours on the internet reading manga or blankly refreshing facebook or playing with virtual sand. When I was supposed to be working on English. Or Japanese. Or something useful.

This is why I do not bring my laptop to school and I haven't even connected my iPod to the wifi. It's actually such a relief to not be able to connect to the WORLD WIDE WEBBBBBBBBB

this world wide web is just what it looks like... a giant death trap

Without the distraction, I am able to sit myself down and read history for like two hours and then if I finish early enough I get to go to the library. ^o^ And then I peruse strange topics ranging from typography to paranormal activity to personality theory. Writers need exposure to both general knowledge and little niches. Anything that could give me an idea is great.

If I really need or want to access the internet, I can borrow a laptop at the library for... three hours, I think. I don't remember if there is a fee. But just the fact that I'd have to talk to someone about it is a huge deterrent... I won't be browsing unless it's REALLY important. c:

Well, my iPod just told me it's time to work on English. I need to put the final touches on this essay and jump right into the next unit. Then I need to come up with the entire structure of my history essay. These things are important because I'm trying to get ahead of them before November. Also on my to-do list for today is to finish up my Japanese homework, finish up my math homework and study for tomorrow's test, and pretty much write/outline my speech for Public Speaking. So here's to hoping I stay off of the interwebs.
