I think I have to delete solitaire from my computer. I find myself playing it for hours at a time. During which I constantly berate myself for not accomplishing anything. I tell myself I'm going to get rid of it all of the time. Which seems to be about as effective as telling myself to quit smoking. The road to hell, I guess.
I make lists of all of the things I need to accomplish. I used to think I did this because then I could cross things off, and therefore feel some sense of accomplishment, albeit a small one. That's how I could justify listing mundane things that I don't actually need a reminder for. These days I feel like I've accomplished enough just by writing the list, crossing things off is rarely something I actually expect to do.
I've also learned that I am less likely to write anything if I put "Write" on the list. Regardless of how many exclamation points follow that word, or how many times it's underlined. Apparently I have such an aversion to being told what to do, I even defy myself!
The only reason I'm actually writing this now is that I've run out of other things to look at and read. And I refuse to allow myself to click on that evil little link! Even though it's calling me...
"Come on Carrie, just one game. Or maybe three..."
Do they have a group for solitaire addicts?
