CHANELWOOD.COM - The internet domain of Chanel. Quirky commentary on life, book reviews, movie reviews, articles on fashion, photography portfolio and more.

Some people waste time, and other spend time wondering where they wasted it.

In a series of universally-correct, astoundingly astute observations of myself in my natural habitat, I have formally come to the conclusion that I would get so much more done if I did not have:

• A website to write in.
• A tumblr to do everything in.
• A twitter account to update.
• A facebook account to lurk in.
• A flickr account to post in.

So really, it’s not at all my fault that I’m an easily-distracted procrastinator. It’s the internet’s fault.

That feels so much better.

   I spend waaaay too much time on Facebook checking friends’ pages and their friends’ pages. I don’t even know their friends!

   I’m glad I’m not the only lurker out there, it seems I spend so much time on MySpace lurkin’ on everyone’s profile, even people I don’t know, ha.
   So yeah, I’m going to blame the internet too!

   I only have one of those things and I still waste ridiculous amounts of time each day. What’s my excuse?

   SO true. Chanel, you’re brilliant.

   My computer’s power adapter died (for the fourth time) and until I get a new one the only computer access I have is at uni. So yesterday when I was home I was astonished at how much work I got done. I was like “wow… I am so productive, what’s different today from other days? Oh yeah, I don’t have a computer!”

   It’s all those things you mentioned plus a couple more that eat up all my time. I’m almost better off without a computer!

   I know what you mean! During exam week last year, I had to turn off all my MSN and Facebook alerts. I felt like I was grounding myself.
