At first I never thought that I would need one but as time goes by, I realized that alarm/reminder is a really must have tool while surfing the Internet. I opted to set an alarm while I'm on-line otherwise there is a huge possibility for me to forget time and neglect my other task or errand. Have you consider having one? It would really help unless you deliberately want to be oblivious with time.

Haha!~So the internet has a very strong pull indeed!~ Haha!~Well, I don't put any alarm as I'm like on the net mostly because I do online selling so I have to reply to mails & bla bla bla!~ But indeed it's very tiring to stare at the monitor for too long so I'll be on & off having breaks in between, erm, we actually ( my wife & I ), haha!~

Online selling and mylotting seems like having the best of both worlds. I hope someday I could do both also but I don't want my health to take its toll on me especially my eyes, can't imagine what to do without it.

Taking breaks in between wouldn't be that bad as your eyes will get ample rest. Plus if you're using an LCD monitor instead of the old CRT monitor you'll have less radiation

I spend a lot of my free time surfing the internet and I have contemplated setting an alarm in the 'interest of science' to see just what I do in the set amount of time. What websites I visit, what I do there, ultimately calculate my productivity (or lack there of) during the time I spend online. In the sense of using an alarm to remind you that you have other stuff to be doing, I've never thought of that. But now that you mention it I think I'll try it out. Thank-you.

You know, that's some very simple and almost in your face wisdom you displayed with that idea. I lost hours at a time on the 'net. That's a really great idea.

Hello katkat, I have no problem with time whenever I am online. I don't really have much time to spend here though....but I think it is a good reminder for people who spend too much time online or really obsess whenever they are online. If I am like that, I would definitely consider your idea to set an alarm!

You are right my friend that we need to set alaram because when I use internet, i forget about time when I show time, I just see that I spent more time on net. but after your idea it is very very good to set, So we can manage out time. I will recommend you 1 alaram where you set alaram & different type of voice comes when time reach at limit. It is very good.
