The internet is resourceful and provides near endless amounts of information. The worst thing is, with these near-infinite amounts of information, it’s hard to focus on work and other non-browsing responsibilities. The only way to stay productive and cut time spent on the internet is to check the time you spend on the web.
Setting a timer when taking work breaks. This is a simple but effective move where you can use the timer on your phone to set aside 10-minute browsing breaks.
Use a special tracking tool to monitor your internet use. Apps such as Time Tracker and Rescue Time offer utilities to control your browsing habits.
Set aside specific times of the day for browsing breaks. Save interesting links or social media updates for specific browsing break times.
Close the browser when you don’t need the internet for work-related tasks. Keep the browser open for safe break times to stay conscious of your web use.
