Friday is Ravelry Day (yeah!)

Arielluria · 04-30-2009, 03:36 PM

In an effort to spend less time on Ravelry (and hopefully KNIT more!) I'm staying off until Friday (no restrictions over the weekend)

....I'm SO looking forward to Fridays now!

So to all my Rav friends, look for replies to your PMs on Fridays

Ack... I'm glad I have no restrictions.

me too, Jan! Though I admire Arielluria's resolve, determination and willpower! I admit I've made myself not get on Ravelry until dinner was made or I'd finished putting the laundry away, because I know that I'll get lost in the space of time which seems like it's only 5 minutes, but turns into 5 hours later and nothing gets done. Not even knitting!

That being said, I still don't think I could restrict myself to Fridays+weekend only. I start too many little projects or want to update projects with photos as they're in progress and I neeeeeeed to login. lol

Well, let me also say it's a self-imposed restriction, because like you, I spend WAY too much time there. 5 hours? Yeah, I can relate!

The thing is I haven't gone all week and I was able to answer 12 messages and 3 forum posts in about 10 minutes. I have so much housework, dogs, computer work to catch up on.

Also, I don't do it every week, just on weeks that I KNOW I will be shortchanging the other things if I do.

See y'all there

Oh no, I completely understand the reasoning behind it for sure! I find I neglect other little things like replying to friends' emails, emptying out the dishwasher or mopping the kitchen floor if I don't make myself stop and do those things before logging back into Ravelry lol
