CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

ok im thinking about getting out of CAA before i get to hooked in it. its nobodys fault but my own. the reason for my thinking this is because im spending 40-50% of the day on the comp and most of that time is me being on CAA. during this time i just read threads and their replys, i hardly ever reply my self. another reason is because my parents say im spending too much time on the comp and that i need to get outside more and they're right about that too. another is because i used to eat about 2 meals a day and that slowed down to about 1 meal, i make a fast meal when i eat and because of this im not getting near the right amount of neutrition.


so those are the reasons for my thinking of leaving CAA. I would like your opp on if i should or shouldnt leave if you have a sugg thats ok too

If CAA if harming your health by all means take a break. Too much a good thing can be bad >.>

Example: CAA!

I've taken breaks from CAA before, it does wonders for you, i promise.

you know my opinions Mythkun...

I say just cut back to an hour or so a day..and have your parents issue a weekly time limit or something..

all things in moderation I guess..

for me I am on a lot as well.. but I do other things while at the comp..soo.. hmm..

staying away from CAA can feel like murder if im away for a long while and so long as i have the internet it will be hard to stay away i can try it though

I will be cutting back as well......I am finding that I am on here to much....so to that I am taking a brake........I sajest that you to take a brake as well Mythmaster.

Well, whatever you do, force yourself to start eating more. Maybe you could make a rule that you have to eat something before you can get on the computer (or take something with you to eat when you're there). I often eat in front of the computer, it's not that hard if you're not typing.

Actually, I've found it very useful to eat breakfast while idly browsing the news sites I frequent.

That said, if you think the computer is sucking your productivity away, I think it's very mature of you to consider taking a break so you can focus on things that need to be done, and reintroduce it later when you believe your priorities are better adjusted.

i do eat at the comp but its normally mac n cheese and thats not very healthy

ok its decided im taking a week long break

We will miss you, but if it's better for you, then I applaud your decision, Myth.

whoot Go Myth

Yeah, taking a break once in a while is a good thing, especially if you find yourself getting addicted. Another thing you can do when you come back (and presumably you'll check this thread then), is to set a timer for yourself when you get on the computer. I know that I can spend hours on the computer and not even realize I've been on so long. So, get a timer and set it for an hour (or whatever), and when it goes off, you go off too.

you know....that's a really good idea I haven't thought about that before. I know that I can be on the computer for 2 or 3 hours before I realize it....
Anyways, that's a really good suggestion!

Glad to be of service.

however the problem with that, is when your time is up, you will still feel compelled to stay on CAA, and soon you'll be on for like 4 hours instead of your usualy 1 hour

Get a laptop (you can use it outside) and take a multi-vitamin.

When I was younger, my mother used to make me set a timer for when I was online. I really didn't enjoy it at the time, but I'm sure it was the best thing for me. ^^;

I guess a part of life is learning how to manage time; whether being online, doing school work etc... Being inside all day staring at a screen all day kind of seems like a waste. It reminds me of Office Space in a way...

But yeah, it's okay to take a break or cut down online time. I mean, CAA will be here later that day and the next day. Anyways, good luck bud with the time management.

Come back soon Myth

LOL, sam

Yeah when I first joined I read just about every thread for awhile. That got old real fast and a big time waster. So for about 10 months now I've only been reading the forums that I'm actually interested. Sometimes instead of trying to type a long reply to a thread I'll read it, take a break to do whatever needs to be done. Then come back after I've though about it some and reply. It saves some time anyway.

the prob with my getting a laptop is that my budget (which is almost nothing) doesnt exactly pay for one and my mother is making me take the multi-vitamin but all the same thx for the sugg

They can be pricey(sp).......just work hard and save your money
