Gee, this sounds scarily familiar....not that I have experienced anything like the kind of health problems these bloggers seem to to have incurred from the insane 24-7 lifestyle.

I finally had to sit down and decide how much time I was willing to spend online daily, which I equate (in terms of productivity) with watching TV.
Then I set a timer.
