I’m adicted to media. 

There it is. I said it. 

But seriously I’ve got a problem. Hulu. Netflix. iPhone. Temple run. And almost every social media tool out there. 

I’m addicted. 

It’s time to give it up. Not all of it though. Only some of it. Let’s not get too crazy now. I’m not putting away my iPhone, or going to stop blogging, tweeting, and facebooking… 

Though I am canceling my Netflix. Reading one of my 12 books instead of watching one of the many shows I frequent on Hulu. And deleting half my games and other useless apps on my iPhone… It’s time to eliminate distractions.

Ugh. Time management and utilizing every hour of everyday to create the most productivity is so tough.
