Oh Internet! \u201cWhat surge that sound might start\u2026\u201d Thanks to the Internet, we can access a plethora of useful information every day. It may be easy to forget how we coped without a PC or a smartphone only 10 years ago, when these items were not such a commodity. Apart from convenience, the Internet also brings dependence \u2013 we simply cannot live without it, and we tend to count on it perhaps too much.<\/p>\n

Admit it: it is nearly impossible to start a typical workday without checking your social network updates first. It is also unbearably tempting to check email just about every 10 minutes. This might create a problem for those working from home offices where strong motivation to remain self-organized is crucial. The same applies to people who are working on a major document and need to concentrate, distraction-free or if you need to make yourself shut down your favorite PC game at night.<\/p>\n
