Rachota SlimTimer Severa. 时间黑洞之二：网络时间黑洞及解法. 黑洞名称：网络时间黑洞 多发人群：上网人群 主要特征描述： 网 络越来越普及了，要写篇文章，需要查点资料，百度谷哥一下，嗯，这篇资料不错，下面还有推荐的链接，点进去看看，这篇文章下面又有个链接，再进去看看…… 网上的新闻是最快最新的，看看今天发生了什么事，啊？ 国际章的泼墨门还没个结果，这里又闹上诈捐门了？ 陈振聪败诉了？ 活该！ 小白脸，已经给了这么多钱了还 贪心，这回好，连原来的也赔进去……不行，不能只看八卦，要学习，看看豆瓣的新书推荐吧，不想买纸书，搜搜电子书，哦，这个下载网站不错，有一堆电子书， 都先下载来再说……QQ不断闪，有几个群的消息，要看看……啊？ 哥上的不是网，是寂寞，越上越寂寞。 解决方案： 1、牢记自己的目标，按照目标设定边界。 上网，有些时候可以是无目的浏览，但更多时间，应该是有目标的，比如要查找资料，查到和查不到，都应该有一个结果，而不是没有止境地一直查下去，比如想寻找并下载一本电子书，如果半小时还找不到，不妨终止，采用其他途径。

5、拓展自己的生活圈，不要让生活单调得只剩下网络。 有些人之所以进入网络时间黑洞，是因为没有其他事情好做，网络造就大量的宅男宅女。 Some More GTD & Personal Productivity With TimeGT. What do David Allen, Dwight Eisenhower and Stephen Covey have in common?
