Not PC exclusively, but the internet as a whole is pretty good at distracting me from doing other, probably more important things. It's not so bad now that I don't have to do things like homework, but I could still be more productive with my time by cleaning or something than using the internet.

Well, PC is only a small part of distraction, I would blame the internet itself for distracting me from exercise or enjoying the outdoors, my PS3 and Nintendo Lite is also a distraction contributor.

It used to, but now that I'm free of studying for college, I have more time on my hands to go on PC and do various other things online. And even back in my glory days of college, I could easily set PC aside to go to events and see friends and such. Setting it aside to study or do homework... not so much lol

Yes. It does.

This is me when I'm online.

"Oh hey, imma go check on PC real quick then imma go roleplay/do homework/do chores/etc"

*2 min later*

blargh, I'll do it later *keeps browsing for two more hours*

But that was like...before. xD Now I just keep things tidy and push PC aside when I have stuff to do. On some cases, PC can wait till I have downtime irl and when I'm incredibly bored...like now.

But right now, I'm literally distracted from doing my English report. :(

Admittedly, it does distract me sometimes. I tend to click that PC tab every once in a while when I do homework and get a bit distracted since I start browsing, but that applies to the internet in general when I have stuff to do. Luckily I still manage to do well on assignments despite that and the distraction usually only takes a few minutes out of my time!
