tip on reducing time sinks ... from my time sinks

I haven't really had a use for my Twitter account since my social software course. But that hasn't stopped me from checking in almost daily.

I also haven't gotten much done in the way of Edublogs (not to be confused with EduBlogger, but that doesn't stop me from reading their feed via email.

So, from these two time sinks comes a link to a Tweet linking to a blog post about software to monitor and alert me to overuse of my time sinks. (See step #2 here.)

Interesting. How long do you think it will take me to research, choose, download and install software to prevent me from wasting time on the sites that alerted me to the software in the first place?
