So, I get distracted rather easily, to the point where I almost have to avoid certain parts of the net otherwise I find myself spending far too much time there. For example, when I go to youtube, I cannot search for My Little Pony clips, otherwise I go on a viewing binge and end up not sleeping. The same can be said of TvTropes, with the 'related Tropes' section. I have found that the only escape was me passing out on my keyboard for that one. As for a game example, Minecraft. The whole "I'll just get one more iron/gold/diamond then I'll quit for the day." type deal.

Anyway fellow Escapists, do you have any "Time Traps"? Things that you have to exert effort not to get caught up in?

WoW. Dungeon stompers in general, really. Also physics. I get encapsulated by reading theories and running mental math, but that's productive!

TV Tropes, Cracked(Rarely Nowadays), Escapist. Those are the big 3.
Captcha is "get out"

Escapist - I think I spend a bit too much time here... I've read 32 pages of posts in one go before with nothing to contribute myself as my opinion had been stated many times by other people.

User/pro game reviews - again, I'll read them all sometimes just for humor value.

other things that take up way too much of my time are... private.

TV Tropes (big surprise there), The Escapist, and especially My Little Pony. Hell, I was terrified when the MLP group sent this
