Ask:
Ok, I am new here, but thought I would throw this out. I am a flybaby. For more info on that you can check out flylady.org. I try to do 15 min challenges. I can be on the computer for 15, reading emails, posting, etc, but then must get 15 min of things done around the house. It has been really beneficial in getting my house picked up and cleaned. I then report back to my IM friend normally what I have accomplished. I can see how posting here and talking to one another can be really addicting. Is anyone else interested in doing this with me???

Answer:
I do this too. When I'm not in the mood to clean, I just tell myself to take 10 or 15 minutes and see how much I can get done. Then it's more of a game!
Answer:
I enjoy doing this while talking to someone online. The computer is SO addictive. Sometimes it is hard to walk away from....
Still sitting here...

Answer:
Hi! I mentioned to my dh last night that your dh worked at MPW and he said "Hey, they have that great park where we take the kids and the fishing across the street." Have you hit MPW park yet? (Also, Fareway has the BEST meat!!!)
Answer:
I love this. I do this when I drink my water. If I want anything with sugar in it such as soda or sweet tea, I have to drink the same amount of water first. It keeps me from wanting too much sugar. I think I'll try this along with some of the other suggestions on the board tonight.
Answer:
I've done the 15 minute thing - but never balancing it w/computer time! What a great idea!! I'll have to try this.
Answer:
15 min thing yes, on the computer no. I don't think I could do it I have a one track mind can only do things one at a time.

That's exactly what I do! It's very motivating. I set the timer all the time. I'm like Pavlov's dog when that thing goes off.
Answer:
The park is right by the Environmental Learning center. Yes, we have been there. We also go to Fareway. Sorry, I did not respond to this sooner, I am trying to figure out how the boards work.
Answer:
I have a tendency of sitting on the computer for too long if I do not set the timer. Whoops!!
