"I've eased up on Internet use and it's made a huge difference. I can once again sit and read a book for an hour or two without flinching."

Like low-carb dieting, I've frequently tried and failed to stick to a reduced-time online plan. I'm not sure why this time it's clicked and--to be honest--I'm nowhere near convinced my new found Internet-free nirvana is here to stay. 

For the moment though, I'm feeling really good about my decision to spend less time online. What's helped immensely...
