    This is such a great post. I am definitely starting to move into the “Becoming the teacher” phase as I start to blog more and I’m working on my very first email course!

    These are some great ideas. I know I spend too much time online. Some of that is for work, but some of it is wasted time.

    Love the points you make here. So many of us get so distracted with some much on the web that our time just fritters away with not much done to advance our real interests. I think it’s a case of getting much more focused about what we look for so that we get the most out of our ‘online’ time.

    I am such an advocate in using the internet to enrich your life! That’s why I created my blog as well…to help women take control of their finances and their futures…and, I believe, pretty much everyone should either have a blog, vlog, podcast, show, etc…There’s an audience for literally everything…from teaching women about money to girly things to puppies to Dragonball Z 😛 So much opportunity that we didn’t have available just 15 short years ago!

    This is lovely, Tara! It’s so important to use your time wisely, we can get so overwhelmed easily. I love the tips and also am a huge fan of SUP, so yay, hive-five!

    I love the internet for all that it does offer, but you’re right. . . it can be a time suck if you don’t use it wisely! Spending learning info or learning a new hobby is a great way to use it! That reminds me that I had signed up for an online class to learn how to knit! I need to get on that!

    I agree whole heartedly that there is a good way and a bad way to spend internet time. I have been looking for free online computer courses. There has to be some, right? With America wanting the people to be more intelligent (and the economy demanding it) someone has to have thought to offer it. Not to mention all the history, etc and useful information. It is really a farm of schooling right at our fingertips.

    I can’t believe that the average person only spends 10 hours a week on the internet. I am constantly on it. Mostly for work, but a lot more than 10 for personal. I guess I need to pair it down a bit.

    To be honest, the internet can be so addictive. It is best to find a way to use it that is productive and serves you, not zap your energy out.

    I hate when I get sucked into the random video vortex. The autoplay is my nemisis. I am trying to be more intentional.

    I would love to be able to find a way to combine information with hobby in a way that I could help others! We got rid of Netflix about six months ago and it’s one of the best things we’ve ever done. It’s amazing how much more you can accomplish without that distraction constantly available.
