While we have been excited to be able to contact other Plain Catholics around the world, we also recognize that the computer is a hypnotic time trap. For our part, we limit our time online to no more than one hour per day (unless illness has us bed-ridden, Plain Catholics rarely sit that long to do anything).
How do you control your time on the computer so that it does not use up your day and control your life?

Rejoice in hope; endure in affliction; persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12
Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.

I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it. (Habeo granum sinapis quod uti non timeo)
Pope Benedict XVI
But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Jack and I have specific times for getting on the computer. But if something else needs doing, that time on the computer is let go. And then sometimes we just do not feel the need to be on. We limit ourselves to about 3 hours a day a piece on the computer at most. Sometimes all I want is to quickly look at e mails, check my ministry or post a blog update and that is enough for me.
I want to keep a diary of the time I spend on line... I think I'll be rebuked a bit by the # of minutes... There ARE other things to do, people to reach out to (in the "real world")...
Thank you for your prompting ;)
Soft hug,
Rhonda
I guess I don't really stress it too much. Some weeks I have days where I spend a lot of time on the Internet, other weeks I hardly touch the computer. I don't really let it bother me all that much.
