I am interested in your 90-day experiment. Thank you for addressing the intention and attention topics in this post. I definitely have a lot of work to do in this area in regards to the internet. (I will be checking out the links from this post when I have more time.)

I've been visiting and bookmarking blogs for probably six months now, and have an RSS feed to MyYahoo! on about five of them. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to approach the blogosphere (jumping from link to link in pursuit of interesting information, but then losing valuable information b/c it lost my attention for too long).

I was interested in this month's topic, but got side tracked by Hurricane Ike and the power outages that ensued. Like you said, though, thank goodness for the internet and self-paced learning! :)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Aloha Thadeus, so great to see you back, thank you for your comment!
I hope all is fine for you and you didn’t incur damage to your home with Hurricane Ike. Mother Nature does put so much else in perspective, doesn’t she.

My 90-Day experiment has been a way for me to be more intentional about my own attentions, and I have started a little log for myself, just for my personal interest on when my self-imposed 3-hour limit works better versus worse (Today is Day 12 :) Writing things down helps me; I’m just the kind of person who thinks better by writing.

What internet browser do you use? This is a very little thing, but I find that I am using my Firefox browser a little differently now, taking advantage of the way it allows me to open windows in multiple tabs versus reading just one browser window at a time. Then, when I look at all the tabs I have open I can actually see how my web-surfing trail happened as I followed different links. I don’t close the tab until I am completely done with it —and “done” can mean that I bookmark or tag it, but at least I am now intentional about what I ultimately will do with it. Doing so has also given me this great sense of closure: When I close a tab I know that done means DONE! So it turned out that a “little thing” has become hugely great for me!

Good luck with your own efforts Thadeus, and do come back to share your tips as you progress (as I know you will!)
