A working plan

Part of the problem is that, since I've been working from home, I've conditioned myself to take *ahem* wank-breaks, at least as often as tea-breaks, and usually lasting a lot longer. I fear to imagine how many times my tea has gone cold while the screen, the endless clicking, link after link, consumes every ounce of my attention...

Anyway, for the last 18 months, my workplace has also been the site of my acting out. This is conditioning which I have to break. The first stage of which, is my new work plan, which goes something like this:

1. Get up earlier. This morning I was at my PC at 7.30am. This meant I could get an hour's work in, then check the support board etc. before work officially started at 9.00.
2. Start the day with a prayer. I can't over-emphasise how important it is to concentrate on my relationship with God over and above quitting porn use. The one will lead to the other.
3. Change task every hour. Whether I need to or not. Getting bored of the same task is a major trigger, not necessarily to do porn, but to procrastinate, waste time online, and venture back to the top of that slippery slope.
4. Have frequent tea-breaks. OK, so substituting porn for caffeine may not be the wisest thing, but... we have de-caff. And it's the getting away from the screen that's important.
5. Go out at lunch-time. Walk to the shop. Buy a Mars bar. Walk back. Just get some fresh air in my lungs!

It's a work in progress. I'll try this for a day or two, and tweak it as necessary. I'll probably add to it over time. But it's a start.
