It's a matter of discipline and priorities.
Please don't take my answer the wrong way, I am being honest, but it's probably not what you want to hear.
You use the net as an excuse for your procrastination. I would be willing to bet that if you had no internet access you would spend the time you should be doing things watching TV, or perhaps talking on the phone.
Having said that, you don't have to continue down this path. You must set a schedual, write it out if you must, and stick to it, regardless. Any ammount of deviation from this scedual will result in failure, so I am forwarning you, do not deviate from it. Tell yourself that the net will still be there once the chores/housework/etc... are finished.
I guarantee you, that if you manage to stick to your schedual, and forgo your time on the computer until you have finished what is important you will feel better physically, you will feel better emotionally, and feel better psychologically. Again I guarantee this. It will also result in less tension in the home.
However, if you do not, and you find an excuse to get online before you have finished what you should have, you can expect a feeling of guilt, a feeling of failure, a feeling of low self esteme. Your children will suffer, your mariage will suffer, and you will grow more and more "addicted" to the net in order to escape the reality you have made for yourself.
I hope you heed my advice, and I wish you all the best of luck.

Hmm sorry can't help you. I am exactly the same!! My day seems to fly by and by the time hubby gets home, hardly anything has been done. Although lately, I have been getting up early to answer questions on here (my latest addiction), then racing around cleaning a bit, then organise dinner so by lunchtime I can sit back down to answer more questions! Then I sporadically get up and do stuff throughout the afternoon. I have 3 kids and they are on school holidays at the moment so I have even less time than I really need in a day. I am also 11 weeks pregnant so am tired and morning sick and I tend to use this as an excuse for sitting on here all day! Although if I wasn't here I would be laying down for a sleep right about now!
Hope you sort it out to you benefit! Good luck.

Make a schedule of the household chores. Split the chores into the 7 days of the week and do a little each day. That's what I do. I have 3 kids and all the house crap to take care of as well and this system works for me. I have the lap top on all day and whenever I pass by I check something out and then move on to the next task. Organization is the key!

I am also addicted to the net...especially emails.
What works for me is setting small goals.
I make the bed then hit the computer for 1/2 hr.
I bounce back and forth between chores and the computer.
The computer has become my reward for getting everything done.
It really works for me...and I've become a more disciplined person as a result.
It's not hard to do...start out small as far as household chores.
As far as the kids...talk to them while you're doing the chores...and while you're on the computer. Sometimes just the sound of your voice let's them think you're doing everything just for them.
I also make a list of my chores...no matter how small,. It's great to cross something off when it's done.
Good luck fellow addict.

How did you come to get into that routine with having a full house? think about that. try to go back to the routine that you felt better for you and your family. Limit the computer to only necessary use. peace

Sorry, but you already know the answer to this. Act like a grownup, shut down the computer, and take care of business. Yes, it really IS that simple.

You need to have your husband lock the computer when he goes to work so you don't have any temptations until you get your business done.
