That horrible sound I make at the beginning of this video represents time being sucked out of our day by spending too much time on the Internet. If you’re trying to manage your time, you should consider trying this service that I found.

KeepMeOut is designed to help you manage the time that you spend on any given website(s) you choose. Enter a web address of a site that is a time-sucker for you, such as Facebook, Twitter or even Geeks. Bookmark the KeepMeOut alias that is created, and only navigate to that site(s) by using the new bookmark. KeepMeOut will warn you if you have visited the site more than once in the time period you specified (such as 60 minutes, etc).

Why would I do this? Well, if I know that I am addicted to a site that is sucking up too much of my time, I can use KeepMeOut to keep me in check. I can walk away and do something else. Wicket, for instance, has a serious addiction to his Facebook account. I’ve had to install KeepMeOut just to get time on my own computer!
