But most of the time I am playing a word game that I think I may be a little addicted to. I play in tournaments on the weekends. But I will probably have to give that up soon since I am going back to school this fall. Not much time to “play”. I think I will start by taking Social media off of my phone again. That seems to help me. 🙂

    I’m just the opposite, if I have to boot up the computer and wait for our slow as molasses broadband connection I waste a lot more time. I blog exclusively from my phone. It’s quicker and more convenient for me… but then I only use WP and Facebook. Gave up all the rest years ago.
