Fellow ADDers,
 
I find the internet, especially email, is becoming a huge distraction for me.  I have started a consulting practice and am suposed to spend most of my time marketing to get paying clients.  I'm finding myself spending too much time in cyberspace in less than productive activities.  I'm on too many listserves and have signed up for too many newsletters.  My thinking is that they occasionally provide me with useful and relevant information, but I'm not sure the time it takes to go through the useless and irrelevant information is worth it.  When I do come across useful information and print it out, I then end up with piles of papers that later have to be filed.
 
I've created numerous email accounts to segregate different types of communications, which helps somewhat.  For example, this list is now under an email account that I only check about once a week.
 
Any suggestions on how to get this under control!
 
Eva B.
