Distraction is the Enemy of Thought

Lately I’ve been reflecting on my computer habits and the ways in which I waste time. For quite a while now my home page on my browser has been Netvibes and I have had five pages of various RSS feeds. Recently I even put together a page of 10 feeds that were all Apple news sites.

Now, really, do they ever report vastly different stories? Certainly not when it comes to the big stories. But I would pour over all my various feeds, looking for the newest bit of information, the latest nugget of news. Currently I also listen to a number of tech podcasts at work so why this need to constant information? Why indeed. So today I decided to step back from the whole RSS thing and set up a homepage that is, basically, just an old fashioned links page containing some of the links to my favorite or most useful websites that I turn to for news or information:

It’s basic and plain and exceedingly simple, but I’m hoping that it will force me to be more mindful of my internet habits and provide significantly less distraction.
