How do I overcome internet addiction?

Specifically business news, stock market performance, and anything to do with Icesave.

My productivity has been pretty near zero since Monday - and it's a good job I have unlimited internet access at work.

I have done slightly better today but tomorrow I am promising myself that I WILL NOT LOG ON TO BBC OR MSE until at least ......10.00am

It is worse than giving up smoking.

Any help would be appreciated:rotfl:

    The worse part is the passage of time it is like being in a time machine the minutes disappear that fast.
