I'm glad you're asking about this!  I actually feel pretty strongly that this is a good question to ask.  I'd love to help you do a trial of some self-management strategies, and also just maybe learn a few things from you!  I'll let you know when the time is right, though.

assistant
It sounds like a great plan. Do you have any other ideas to cut back on mindless internet browsing?
