I have a day job so use the time here to catch up on rss feeds during the morning, lunch and at the end of the day. My evenings/weekends (when not on family duty) are spent trying to get my shopping site and a few other projects off the ground. For this I have a long list of jobs to do, then each job is broken down into bite size tasks. Each week I prioritise the tasks to do that week and then tick them off as I complete them. The theory is I should work in a more focussed and efficiently manner. My ultimate goal is to sack off the day job and put my energy into working for myself.

It has definitely helped me curb the time-wasting habit. Since then, I've been a lot more selective about what I read/play/do, constantly asking myself if it's something that I truly enjoy or need, or if I'm just doing it to avoid doing other things I should be doing.
