How Long Do You Spend On The Internet?by Emily Price | More from this Blogger 01 Feb 2007 11:32 AM How much time do you spend on the Internet? Last night I sat down on the sofa to watch TV with my significant other. He was going to go get something out of his car, so I picked up my laptop and turned it on thinking I would have time to check my email before he got back.. As soon as I started to sign on I was attacked with a "Why do you always do that?" A discussion ensued where I told him I intended on only checking my email, and he responded with the statement that it was never just checking me email. Angry, I closed the laptop and put it away, and then he immediately felt bad and told me to take it out again. Truth be told, he was probably right. While my intention was just to take my laptop out for a few minutes and check me email, I would have more than likely found an email that required an immediate response which would have taken up some time, and as it stands I have 3 email accounts so I would have probably had to check them all and respond to emails in each. If I had no email, the whole process would have taken 2-3 minutes, but if I did have email, which I always do we're looking at a 20 minute commitment. My Internet usage is a little extreme because I work online. All of the time that normal people spend at the office I typically spend on the internet. Since I do work from home I tend to spread my work out throughout the day rather than sit down and work for a solid 8 hours everyday. Thatspreading out of my work day will often entail a 20 minute email check at 9pm before watching TV. How much time do you spend on the internet? I know many Families.com members also work from home,. Has working from home ever gotten you in trouble?
