I find that my computer is stealing all my time. My default is to sit in front of my computer.

I'll write an email, jot a few notes.

Inevitably I will open up a video or a game and distract myself.

If I'm spending time with myself and I'm at home, I'm on my computer.

I think it's a problem. I'm considering thinking about it some more and writing a blog post on it.

Will you sit in front of your computer when you write your blog post?

Yeah. I mean that's the thing, sitting in front of the computer is a necessity because you need to type ideas. So your screen has to become a catalyst for your thoughts instead of being a distraction.

You have to build an "environment" where you can "blog" or w/e you deem productive. I've been looking at https://kinopio.club/ to be my "default screen on computer start" for organizing thoughts, but it's not perfect.

You could use a notebook and handwrite things instead, that helps me.

This probably isn't what you're after, but you can blog via a pen & notebook with Paper website: https://daily.tinyprojects.dev/paper_website

(no affiliation and haven't used it, but I love the idea and that person's "tiny projects" are super cool!)
