Anyone feel like they have information overload

[CactusBoss]

I have become addicted to looking up new information online and constantly checking my email everyday. I only spend like an hour at a time browsing forums(like this one)and compulsively looking up information about my hobbies(plants being one of them)but it has gotten to the point where i feel like i always have to do it. Anyone else feel like this, i wonder what to do about it because i don't want it to get in the way of school

Most everything I do is online from banking to my wife talking to her family in Mexico via Facebook. At work, everything is browser based. Almost all of my lesson plans are generated and projected through my laptop. When school starts up again, I can spend up to 2 hours per night finishing up work or prepping for the next day, week or month.

you can put everything you learn online about your (our) hobby here into practice in your own garden. It will get you away from your comp and you will be spending that time admiring and caring for your plants

The way to keep it under control is to set a time limit and stick to it. Use an alarm if you need to. Something like 30 minutes per day, or whatever time limit works for you. The info isn't going anywhere so just continue where you left off tomorrow! Another way to do it is to only surf the web after you've finished your studying for the evening.
