Sure. Easy fix, though. Get off on the right foot! A great start is everything
for me. Get that positive attitude going for the day to come. Hit the workplace
with a smile, and a real determination to get the job done! Attitude is key!

When your at work, make sure you're b-u-s-y, and not alone. Now you don't have
_time_ to get on the internet, let alone read through CCC. Your co-workers will
help keep your on the right track (can't let them see you just wasting time,
surfing the internet, right?)

When you're back home, NOW give yourself a reward, and surf for ONE hour (or
less), but _No_ more. Enjoy your addiction at that time. Revel in it, even, but
for ONE hour only.

It's when you're bored, alone, not doing the things you really want to be doing,
that's ALWAYS when temptation for ANY weakness will grow suddenly strong, and
really quite irresistable.
