have you ever gone to your computer with one major thought and intent in mind and ended up so lost in cyber space that you're lost? I think the internet is too vast for my pee brain to conceive. I seem to do this alot. There are too many advertisements and distractions for me to handle at times.Do you ever do this?

Oh I do it all the time. I always get lost in the forums. And then I can never remember why I got on in the first place.

Yes...all of the time! lol I often get online for a specific reason and get sucked into doing other things and 5 minutes later I'm asking myself what it was that I was getting online to do. I just do so much online that I have a routine when I first get on the computer. I think I'm often drawn to do those things first even if I come online for another reason.

Yeah, it also happens to me many times, but not all the time. I am an online marketer, and I design/create my own sales webpages. There were times when I am with my daily chores in the middle of the day, and other activities when something good idea will pop-out into my mind about a new sales strategy or a new webpage design, then I always said to myself "Okay I'll do that tonight when I go online", but when the time comes, I already forgot the good idea and wondering in cyberspace how to recall it. So I am learning something from this, since I am staying at home (working at home) and my office & computer is just a few steps, I will make sure next time an idea pops-out, I will immediately go online. The bad thing is that ideas always pop-out when least expected, like when I'm in the toilet bowl eliminating my wastes and I cannot go online!

If it's just one major thought and intent, then probably I won't lose focus and see that it gets done before I do anything else. However, if it's a few thoughts, then I may have the possibility of losing focus after doing one or two of them. This is because after visiting some sites, I would suddenly think of some other things I can do at the same time.
